Under contract-accepting backup offers. A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY to purchase a LEVEL, GENEROUSLY SIZED LOT in the highly desirable Monte Cristo neighborhood located in sought-after Tierra Verde. The lot measures 80’ in width and has a depth of 133’, so there is plenty of space to build a fabulous island home with a backyard oasis and expansive lanai, pool and spa. And with base elevations throughout the island of 8-10 feet above sea level, Tierra Verde is much more elevated and protected than its neighboring beach communities. There is a newer quality home on the left of the lot built by David Weekley Homes in 2018, and a newly renovated home to the right, adding extra value to any property to be built. The island is a boater’s delight – with two marinas, boat storage and boat rentals – you have Gulf access within just minutes, whether you own or rent your vessel! The coveted island is slightly off the beaten path and free of the hubbub and traffic of downtown, yet within minutes of award-winning St. Pete Beach, 30-40 minutes from two international airports via I-275 and just a short drive to downtown St. Pete with its cultural attractions, entertainment, sports venues and award-winning restaurants. Fort DeSoto, an 1100-acre park offering sugar sand beaches, camping, kayaking and miles of nature trails, is located at the southern tip of the island and within biking distance. Tierra Verde also has its own array of top-rated restaurants within walking, biking or golf cart distance … ranging from delicious fresh seafood to Northern Italian pastas, and brick oven pizza to French cuisine. Don’t let this opportunity pass you by. There are very few lots left on this island paradise!
