Unique Homes in the Florida Keys – Private Airstrip Homes in Tavernier, Florida

Fly In – Sail Out!  The best of both worlds for the adventure enthusiast!
Tavernaero is a quite subdivision in the Florida Keys that has one unique feature other subdivisions don’t – a private, gated airstrip. It is the only private
airstrip between Homestead and Summerland Key. The grass runway is open from sunrise to sunset. It is 2075 feet long and 80 feet wide.
Many of the homes here even have enclosed the downstairs area of the home to provide hangar space for private planes. While most homeowners in the neighborhood are pilots or enjoy flying, it is not a requirement to own property or live in the community. 
 
Additionally, there is a private marina with boat ramp, providing immediate access to both the Atlantic Ocean and Florida Bay via Tavernier Creek.
So, bring your boat and bring your plane! Click the link below to see all properties currently for sale in the community.

December Market Activity – December 5th to December 25th, 2011

Christmas has come and gone, but the visitors to the Florida Keys are still here, with more arriving every day. The Overseas Highway is bustling with traffic. The last week of 2011 is certainly going to be a busy one!

The real estate market the past 3 weeks has been just as busy. 211 new listings came on the market, 105 properties went under contract and 100 properties sold.

Waterfront pool home in Key West – $349,000

Of the new listings, there is a rare find in Key West being offered for $439,000. This 3 bedroom 2 bath home is on a canal and also has a large swimming pool. Waterfront homes on the island of Key West are not that common, since there are very few canals in Key West and most open water property is either commercial (hotels, etc) or condos.

224 Treasure Harbor – pending sale

Pending sales include one of my listings in Islamorada. 224 Treasure Harbor is under contract and is scheduled to close early in 2012. This home features 2 bedrooms and 2 baths on the upper level and a legal 2 bedroom, 1 bath apartment downstairs.  Multi-family zoning makes renting the apartment completely legal.  It was offered at $899,000 at time of contract.

391 Fourth St., Key Colony – sold for $360,000

Sold sales include a unique A-Frame home in Key Colony. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home has a lot of Keys character to it and has been recently remodeled.  It is also located on a nice canal in a great neighborhood.  It was originally listed at $428,500 and sold for $360,000

It’s hard to believe that in just a few short weeks we’ll be ringing in 2012.  There’s already been a lot of activity in the marketplace, so I think 2012 will be a great year for the real estate market in the Keys.
