WATERFRONT LOT WITH WORKING BOAT LIFT/DOCK ON GOTTFRIED CREEK
51 French Ave. Englewood, Fl 34223
$235,000
This .27 acre lot with 100ft of beautiful waterfront property has it all. Many waterfront properties are on canals with only views of other homes 20 ft. across the canal. This has only 2 homes you can see across the creek and they are over 300 feet away.
This is a natural tidal creek (Gottfried Creek) where there are beautiful mangrove lined shores and nature galore. We have seen alligators, manatees, sharks, otters and a ton of fish and bird life too. There are not that many natural creeks in Southwest Florida so close to the Gulf of Mexico and especially ones with any lots for sale. It is less than 2 miles to the intercoastal waterway and 4.5 miles to the Gulf.
Due to the proximity of the water, the new home will need to be raised up at least 10 ft. But, this will definitely protect your home against storm surges and it also gives you a better view! And why not build a nice raised deck to enjoy that view? Plenty of room for a pool too!
There was a small home here that was demolished around 2008, so the utilities are on the property and/or street. The survey shows a natural gas line too.

BEAUTIFUL BOAT DOCK
The boat dock has been fully renovated, including new (2023) composite decking, hand rails and most stringers. Boat dock also has two davits (2,000 pounds each) with 2 new motors and belts. In addition, the piers supporting the davits have new concrete pilings around them and all other piers have just been wrapped.
This property already has a boat dock! The permitting process for a new boat dock with a lift can take years and between the permits, installing new piers, decking etc. can cost tens of thousands of dollars. This is all done and ready to use.

IF YOU BUY A LOT IN ON AROUND SOUTH GULF COVE OR PORT CHARLOTTE, BE PREPRARED TO TRAVEL OVER 25 MILES TO REACH THE GULF

Thinking about a property in Port Charlotte or South Gulf Cove? Its going to take you probably two hours to get to the Gulf or to the beach. 25 Miles! Plus the no wake zones through the neighborhoods. Go ahead and plan on 4 hours round trip!

Stump Pass Sandbar is one of the best hangout spots in all of Southwest Florida. You can beach your boat, go wakeboarding, or catch some fish. For more info on Stump Pass Sandbar Click Here.

FISHING IN YOUR BACKYARD
The fishing is excellent in Gottfried Creek. I have caught Snook, Mangrove Snapper, Redfish, Pompano, Jack, and Catfish pretty regularly. Also have caught Bluefish, Barracuda, Goliath Grouper and baby Bull Sharks. You just never know what you might catch here.
