The Angler's Retreat -- Big Pine Key Resort-style canal front living beneath a majestic Banyan. Some places don't just change your pace -- they change your life. Tucked within the protected beauty of the National Key Deer Refuge on Doctors Arm, this fully reimagined waterfront estate sits on half an acre of lush, private grounds where a resident family of Key deer wander freely and the outside world feels very far away. Enjoy 240 Ft. of canal frontage with 120-foot concrete seawall -- newly equipped with a 10,000 lb boat lift, and world-class fishing minutes away. Six miles by water to the legendary tarpon fishery at Bahia Honda. Thirty-five minutes to Looe Key Coral Reef Park. And just beyond your dock, the shallow flats of the Great White Heron Wildlife Refuge offer some of the finest bonefishing, tarpon, and permit fishing in the Florida Keys. Nearly $400,000 in meticulous upgrades have transformed this two-bedroom, three-bath residence into a turnkey retreat where nothing has been deferred. New Hardiboard siding, impact windows & doors, updated electrical, new AC, and a 1,000 lb capacity service elevator -- ideal for fishing gear, groceries, and luggage -- ensure effortless ownership. A fully air-conditioned downstairs enclosure with a new half bath offers exceptional flexibility as storage, workshop, or home gym. Inside, shiplap bedrooms, fresh paint throughout, and a refreshed kitchen with a bar, plenty of countertop space and stainless steel appliances complete the picture. Outside is where The Angler's Retreat truly reveals itself. A new tiki hut overlooks the heated pool -- fully appointed with seating for ten, bar seating for six, a movable bar, refrigerator, drinks cabinet, two mounted TVs, ceiling fans, and ambient lighting. New pavers, lush landscaping, and a thriving fruit grove of mango, avocado, citrus, and banana complete grounds that feel more resort than residential. In the Lower Keys, this is what the good life looks like.
