Tucked away on Big Torch Key, this CBS-constructed waterfront home offers a quiet, private setting with beautiful open-water views and remarkable year-round sunsets. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Lower Keys, Key deer are often seen nearby, while backcountry boating and flats fishing are just minutes away. Boaters will appreciate convenient access to both Gulf and Atlantic waters.
Inside, the kitchen, dining and living areas open toward the water, with large glass doors framing the views and leading to the expansive wraparound porch. The kitchen offers ample cabinetry, counter space and bar seating, while the open layout keeps the water and sunsets in view throughout the main living space.
The primary suite feels like its own private wing, set beyond a dedicated library with a walk-in closet, ensuite bath and direct porch access. The guest bedroom also opens to the porch, giving both bedrooms a connection to the outdoors.
The waterfront is where the lifestyle truly comes together. A private dock extends into the water and opens to a spacious seating area with a built-in angler's table, ideal for fishing, cleaning the day's catch, launching kayaks or paddleboards, snorkeling or watching the sunset. Lobster and fish can be found around the dock, while nearby waters offer exceptional boating and flats fishing, along with access to Looe Key, a popular Florida Keys destination for snorkeling and scuba diving, known for its coral reef and abundant marine life. Waterfront restaurants are close by, along with a shopping center offering a grocery store, gym, library and additional shops. With 155 feet of waterfront, the property also offers the possibility of constructing an additional waterfront guest house.
