Tucked behind meandering oaks sits this special mid-century modern beach home. Very few spots on Little Gasparilla Island share an elevation high enough to support the growth of these picturesque Southern trees with their great outreached limbs. The higher ground is believed to be created by Calusa Indians who inhabited the island and much of Southwest Florida for thousands of years prior to the arrival of Spanish explorers. Artifacts of shell tools, fishing implements and decorative beads still litter the island and her beaches as further evidence of the Calusa's long-standing inhabitation. You can feel the history of the home and island surrounding you here.

Inside, brilliant knotty pine paneling covers the ceilings and walls providing a warm atmosphere indicative of beach homes of this era.
Sliding-glass doors and expansive panes of glass allow light to enter rooms from multiple angles. Natural light was extremely important in mid-century modern architecture and the large picture windows of this home emphasize bringing the outdoors in. The high ceilings with wood beams and an open floor plan also highlight this design movement.

Overlooking Placida Harbor, a boat lift sits at the end of your private dock. From here you are only mere minutes from the Gulf of Mexico, Boca Grande Pass, Charlotte Harbor, Lemon Bay and a myriad of world renown boating and fishing destinations. Favorite local spots like the numerous sandbars and waterfront grills are also easily within reach.

Little Gasparilla Island is only accessible by boat. There are no cars, no roads, not a bit of ugly commercialism. Only empty private beaches of white sand, shells and the clear turquoise waters of the Gulf. Old Florida still remains here. Experience her rich history, boundless nature and unlimited opportunities to immerse yourself in it.
