120 Barracuda Drive, PLACIDA

Surrounded by tropical landscaping, this classic waterfront 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is beautifully positioned on Amberjack Creek. A split floor plan offers privacy on both sides of the house. The kitchen is updated with solid wood cabinets and granite counters with a peninsula open to the dining room. The house has many upgrades and features such as a 50 amp RV connection along with a new 200 amp electrical entrance and a solar array that will be paid in full at closing. With a metal roof and upgraded insulation you will enjoy security and energy savings. Enjoy a quiet oasis with access to the water in your own backyard. Bordered by the creek with wild mangroves on the opposite shore you will see an abundance of wildlife. There is ample room for a pool. Though it feels secluded you also have the convenience of the local post office, grocery store, bank, and pizza parlor in close proximity. The dock features composite decking and is on Amberjack Creek, a tidal inlet creek, which provides shallow-draft access to the Gulf of Mexico. Fish from the dock or watch for the sandhill cranes, manatees, and leaping mullet. This is an ideal place to launch canoes and kayaks or a small motorboat. It takes about 20 minutes by boat at "no wake" speeds down the tidal creek through mangrove mazes to the turquoise blue waters of Gasparilla Sound and an additional 5 minutes from there to Gasparilla Pass. The greater Placida area offers miles of sandy beaches, world class fishing, year round golfing, and many parks and recreation areas.
