Introducing Bunny Key, an extraordinary historic Islamorada oceanfront plantation. Once you enter the gate you will be entranced by the prettiest beach on the island of Islamorada with an estimated 240 feet lining the Atlantic ocean and lovely new dock. The main home and guest wing of 3 bedrooms radiate character at every corner, reminiscent of a time gone by with the inviting Old Florida porch stepping out on to the beach. The Kitchen is lined in custom Pecky Cypress cabinets and stone counters which blends beautifully with the Dade County pine flooring throughout. There is a historic 3 bedroom guest home and a 2 bedroom caretakers cottage on the sprawling grounds each with beautiful verandas featuring ocean vistas. Detached garage and outdoor kitchen area can also be found. This property is known by its provenance that starts as the LaBranche Fishing Camp in 1937, where it is said the owner and author penned many a fishing tale with the ocean as his muse and passion for fly fishing as his motivation. Wake up to the fish tailing and gentle waves along the shore with the palms swaying in the breeze. The sunrises are mesmerizing only to be rivaled by the evening sunsets and starry nights. This site of almost 2 prime acres is extraordinary and irreplaceable, truly meant to be cherished for the next generation of owners.
