A one of a kind offering with 150ft of water frontage laden with rich national history. President Theodore Roosevelt began frequenting Captiva in 1908. In 1917 he staged his houseboat at this very location for his legendary Devil Fish expedition of which he hunted and gathered for the Smithsonian. In the 1930s this property served as one of only two locations to deliver goods to Captiva mainly of which was building materials, delivered by barge. The oversized grandfathered dock was built in 1939 by the WPA which was founded by Franklin Roosevelt. The romantic boathouse, which is cantilevered over the water and is also grandfathered in, was constructed in 1953 by Harold Bixby. Bixby was one of Charles Lindbergh's primary backers in 1927 when Lindbergh accomplished his transatlantic flight in The Spirit of St Louis. The boathouse with two bedrooms and caretaker cottage with one bedroom stand today in superb condition with a recently installed composite roof with a 100 year life expectancy. As you approach the main house, you are greeted with the charm of olde world Southern architecture. Inside you will find soaring ceilings of cypress, and beautiful views of Roosevelt Channel along with three spacious bedrooms, a library and an office. Resting on over 1.3 acres with deeded beach access.
