THE AFFORDABLE HIDDEN GEM

ON FLORIDA’S SOUTHWEST COAST 

Florida Realtors® News recently published their list of the 2017 major factors affecting our 2018 Florida Real Estate Market. These included low inventory of homes, and the resultant escalation of prices to levels just below the peak of the real estate bubble. 

The upcoming run-up in Florida values, resulting from the Tax Reform bill, along with the crushing winter weather to the north, may make those issues pale in comparison. A lack of state income and inheritance taxes will likely drive people from frigid high-tax states to the sunny shores of Florida. Unfortunately, they stand to encounter a short supply and stiff pricing if they are dreaming about waterfront living. That is…until they discover Useppa.

Useppa Island is the pre-eminent Florida value for waterfront, boating and gulf access properties.  The values in this tiny community of 115 homes, all within a Private Club that encompasses the entire island, are still at the pre-bubble pricing level. A consequence of competing in the arena of Big Destination Names, this Private Island gem has no commercial marketing engine, Visitor and Convention Bureau or Chamber of Commerce. Neither will you find choking traffic, strip malls or high rises that block the senses, views and tropical breezes.  Useppa is the Undiscovered Destination, that Secret Place where you can capture your dreams.

Opportunities on Useppa include a buyer friendly inventory of waterfront homes, with Townhouse style attached villas from $525,000 to $875,000, and single family homes from $1,050,000 to $3,500,000, many furnished and all with dockage available. 

Useppa Island is the Big Secret-- a private island exotically tropical and modestly priced; the glistening location just south of Boca Grande Pass. A quick 15-minute boat ride to the mainland, don’t miss your chance to Find Your Key to Paradise.

Decorating to Welcome Family & Friends for Thanksgiving

A TIME TO CELEBRATE

Thanksgiving finds our homes dressed in full finery: candles lit, silver polished, favorite fall centerpiece pulled from the cupboard and linens pressed to crisp perfection. It gives us the rare relaxed moment to focus on the blessings we've received in the past year and to welcome family and friends for the sheer pleasure of their company.

Timeless Tradition, Contemporary Flair

Timeless tradition and contemporary embellishments are equally at home on a well-dressed Thanksgiving table. But always try to include some personal touches amid all the traditional trappings. Unexpected details, such as leaves looped over chair backs or place cards tucked into dried artichokes, add individual style. Use a multi-tiered arrangement of seasonal fruits — figs, grapes, pomegranates, pears and persimmons — to add fall color to the tabletop.

Try a New Hue

Not a fan of orange and brown? No worries; your table's color palette doesn't have to be restricted to traditional fall colors. Instead try softer, cooler hues like the whites, pale greens and blues.

Go For a Layered Look

Layering plates in different finishes, colors or textures is an easy trick for setting an elegant table. Start with a charger, followed by a dinner plate, topped by a folded cloth napkin and small bread or dessert plate.

Beyond Pumpkins

Some varieties of squash are beautiful and a perfect fit for a rustic fall table setting. Stroll the grocery store's produce aisle or your local farmers' market for inspiration. Artichoke, cabbage, pears and pomegranates are other great options for decorating a rustic fall table.
