Nearly an acre with open water just beyond your dock - and a home designed to enjoy it. Set on three combined lots totaling 0.823 acres, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath manufactured home with direct access to open water offers a wonderful sense of space and expansion potential rarely found with canal properties. The nearly one-acre footprint provides flexibility for future additions, outdoor living enhancements, or simply enjoying the privacy that comes with true acreage. A defining feature of this property is its direct canal access to the Peace River, complete with a covered, private boat dock with electricity. The dedicated waterfront parcel just across the street offers convenient water access while preserving privacy at the main residence…and less than 2 miles to the Peace River! From here, you can boat, fish, or cruise your way directly to Charlotte Harbor and onward to the Gulf of Mexico. A detached three-car garage with electricity and bath adds exceptional versatility, with ample space for vehicles and outdoor toys. It can also serve as a dedicated workshop or hobby space, keeping the main residence quiet, organized, and uncluttered. With its impressive square footage there is potential for reimagining the space as a private guest residence or multigenerational living suite. Designed for everyday comfort and casual entertaining, the home itself features a screened lanai with a heated in-ground pool—perfect for relaxing, hosting friends, or enjoying sunny Florida afternoons in a private, tranquil setting. The surrounding low-maintenance concrete and PVC decking is built to withstand Florida's climate, making outdoor living both effortless and durable. An additional light-filled four-season front porch offers an inviting space to enjoy morning coffee, evening breezes, or peaceful canal-front views year-round. Inside, open living spaces create a welcoming atmosphere that's easy to settle into, complemented by the convenience of an indoor laundry and newer appliances to provide improved energy efficiency, lower utility costs, and added peace of mind. The added benefit of hard surface flooring throughout enhances both cleanliness and convenience, making every day maintenance simple and stress-free. Located in the sought-after Peace River Shores community, you'll enjoy a friendly, laid-back neighborhood. Optional membership in the community social club adds even more to enjoy, including access to a private boat ramp and dock, a clubhouse for social events, and a covered picnic pavilion. The park overlooking Jim Long Lake is a favorite gathering spot, where residents come together to enjoy stunning sunset views—all for a very modest annual fee. With generous open space across multiple lots, this property offers endless possibilities—whether as a full-time home, seasonal getaway, or peaceful waterfront retreat with room to expand and grow. Opportunities like this—combining land, privacy, water access, a pool, garage space, and a great location—don't come along often. Ideally located, you're just a short drive from Port Charlotte and downtown Punta Gorda, offering charming shops, farmers markets, waterfront dining, Fisherman's Village, golf, tennis, and pickleball. Spring training stadiums are nearby for sports enthusiasts, and travel is convenient with easy access to Punta Gorda Airport and I-75.
