About this home
Opportunity awaits at 1836 Shep Willis Road! Situated on approximately 4.24 acres with a mixture of wooded and open areas, this property offers privacy, room to roam, and plenty of possibilities. The property also features limited canal frontage; however, the canal is not deep water and buyers should verify water depth, access, and suitability for their intended use. The existing home offers 2 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, approximately 768 heated square feet, and a septic system permitted for two bedrooms. Appliances and security cameras convey with the property. The home needs some love and attention, making it a great opportunity for a buyer with vision to renovate, update, or create a private retreat. The acreage is the true standout feature, offering space for gardening, recreation, outdoor living, or other potential uses subject to applicable regulations and permitting. The property is located in a designated flood zone. Buyers should independently verify flood insurance requirements, zoning, septic capacity, canal conditions, water access, and all intended uses.
