Private island in Florida Keys selling for $2.5M

MARATHON, Fla. — A unique private island resting just off the coast in the middle of the Florida Keys is looking for new owners to call it home.

Pretty Joe Rock, also known as Sea Shell Key, is being offered for $2.5 million. It comes with a private dock and with its location just offshore from 43rd Street in Marathon, dining and shopping options ‘off the island’ are just minutes away.

In 2014, the 9,190-square-foot property was featured on HGTV’s “Buying the Beach”. However, Hurricane Irma destroyed the home in 2017, according to WFLA.

One of just nine islands in the Keys with the ability for a home to reside on it, the new owners of this island will be given as much as 4,000 square feet to build back the rare piece of paradise.

If you’re interested in purchasing the island, the realtor Gidget Johnson can be contacted at 305-900-8217.
