When my wife and I started to searched for a place to retire we had a few requirements, It had to be on the water, great fishing, safe community, near shopping, dining and all the extras. We looked in the Florida Keys, the East Coast and finally Port Charlotte just across the river from Punta Gorda. This is it we said and so we purchased a virgin piece of property that is perfectly positioned to explore the Peace River or out to the Gulf. 100ft on the water and 360 ft long which was perfect if we wanted to sub-divide or add a guess house. It wasnt hard to imagine moon light rides on the boat, watching the sunset, afternoon fishing trips up the Peace River or out to the Gulf for heavier action. Everything was working out until the economy went south and retirement in paradise had to be reevaluated. We decided to price the property to sell quickly so we can reinvest back into our business. We were offered $850,000 3 years ago which we turned down being the smart business man that I am and we were not interested in selling anyway. When the market returns this property will be at the forefront because there is very little vacant property left on the water in the area. So if youre looking for a great place to build a home or make an investment in, this is the place.
