Its ambiance exudes premier quality and taste throughout and presents a turn-key opportunity to begin an upscale island lifestyle without the need to renovate or redecorate. 
Completely rebuilt to code from the inside-out in 2007, "Osprey Nest" was brought into the modern era with new impact glass, Hardi siding, electrical & plumbing systems and mechanicals. Since the extensive renovation, it's been well maintained and continuously freshened to adhere to the ever-changing trends in interior design and advancements in technology. Its floorplan is extremely accommodating to a range of needs, being large enough to comfortably suit a family, yet small enough for a retired couple to reasonably manage.

Useppa's "Village" units are each offered complementary use of a nearby community dock for a boat 24' or less, which offers a cost-free dockage solution to those particular owners. At a price point below $1m, finding a more appealing & affordable 3-bedroom cottage on a nearby island with the same feel, features and finishes as "Osprey Nest" will be a difficult challenge.

The historic "Whoopee Island" offers storm-protection in the form of a mangrove buffer to the west, which deserves some credit for the building's lack of damage in 2004's Hurricane Charley and 2022's Hurricane Ian. When it comes to severe storms, preparation and positioning offer distinct advantages to success, and "Osprey Nest" has an upper hand in both departments when compared to others. 
Its floorplan is livable and spacious, with one Master-sized bedroom & bath on the first living floor and another on the second level. The downstairs Master has access to the lower deck and its jacuzzi, while the upstairs Master has a private open balcony and the greatest water views to the north and west.

From a second and third story, the waters of Pine Island sound will come into view to the east and west, offering an elevated vantagepoint of the surrounding waters not often found on a southwest Florida island. 
Useppa Island is entirely private and features modern infrastructure and services most people require today are available to property owners, such as high speed internet, central water/sewer, mail/parcel delivery, garbage removal, housecleaners, landscaping and maintenance. Land ownership is fee-simple and all permitting is handled by Lee County. 
Whether you build something small and simple or a large & opulent home, this lot offers the space and security to have confidence through all times of the year. Island real estate is already scarce, and options at high elevation hardly exist.
