Picroc Ali, also known as The Historic Russell Estate, boasts 7.69 luscious acres of some of the most beautiful land the Florida Keys has to offer. Situated on the Florida Bay, this lovely estate offers 600' of private canal frontage with protected dockage, an elegant pool & spa and private gated entry with long winding driveway. One can enjoy gorgeous sunsets year-round at this supreme location. With over 4,500 square feet of living, this 5B/5.5B home is constructed of CBS block with a concrete roof. The layout of this well-thought-out residence affords full privacy in the master suite and all of the guest suites. The elevator and 4 enclosed garage bays are centrally and conveniently located. Enjoy the open-water views from the large open patio, balcony or screened-in outdoor living room, with 5th bath that features a large, enclosed outdoor shower. Meandering through this Estate is reminiscent of days gone by, and energizing relative to today's Islamorada lifestyle. There is plenty of room to build a guest house and caretaker's cottage, which is allowed for this zoning (minimum of 4 acres required). Enjoy fruit from trees on property, such as Avocado, Mango, Key Lime, Tangelo & Calamondin. 7.69 Acres includes baybottom. The Russell Estate was the first and only land grant given to a woman, in the United States, in 1884. Richard and Mary Ann Russell settled with their children, in Islamorada, between 1854 and 1856. They applied for a land grant in both names, but Richard died before the land was granted. Therefore, the land was granted to Mary Ann Russell in 1882.
