#101 “Fair Winds Cottage” is located on the eastern shoreline and beachfront of private Useppa Island. The views from all three levels span across the waters of Pine Island Sound and the sunrises repeat a magnificent daily performance. Deciding where to enjoy them can be a challenge, with spacious screened porches extending from the ground and second floors, while the third-level Master Suite features a private open balcony, where a bird’s-eye view of the beach and water is the vantage point.
Walk directly into the primary living space from Useppa’s historic Pink Pathway to find a large and open living area with screened porch, which flows into the kitchen, all with grand water views. Adjacent to those is a large guestroom with en-suite bath, as well as a powder-room. The ground floor is the ideal space for guests or family, with two bedrooms, a full bathroom, living area, office and large screened porch just steps from the beach. The third floor is all Master Suite, with walk-in-closets, a beautifully tiled bathroom and private balcony from where dolphin and predatory fish stalking the shoreline can be spotted.
This home features so many qualities island-home-shoppers seek, while still possessing endless potential to make it your own. The location on the beach and functional floorplan make for an amazing family home and it’s a short walk away from Useppa Island Club’s community pool and jacuzzi. Dockage is solved, with the right for the owner to dock a boat 24′ or less at the nearby Useppa Marina for no additional cost. The atmosphere and finishes are Classic Useppa and the home is poised to host the next family’s island traditions.
*It’s important for any interested Buyer to understand that this is a very exciting, and dynamic period of time for Useppa Island. Following the impact of Hurricane Ian, the current and longtime “Developer”/Owner of Useppa Island has offered the common areas, businesses and assets for sale. There are discussions underway with prospective buyers with the goal to convey the Island/Club to an entity which will greatly improve the facilities, common areas and business model to a much higher standard, while preserving the island’s unique ambiance, history and environment. There currently exists a lawsuit on behalf of Useppa Residents suing the current Developer (Case# 23-CA-101535) and the Developer has filed a counter-suit against specific Useppa Residents. Please feel free to inquire about this upon request for information about Useppa Island real estate.*
