The Blue Cottage is a coastal mid-century showpiece set along Gulf Harbor’s widest canal, where nearly continuous seawall construction helps preserve depth and water clarity while offering direct, minutes-to-the-Gulf access via the Cocohatchee River. From the moment you enter through a private coco plum arbor, the home unfolds into a meticulously designed waterfront compound complete with a 10-ton sandy beach, extensive paver hardscape, and a dramatic 12’ x 18’ copper trimmed covered wood arbor with ceiling fans, lighting, retractable wall elements, and slatted shutters that can open seamlessly to the outdoors. A full dock with water and electric service, 10,000-pound boat lift, fish cleaning station, storage boxes, and walkway access around the vessel make this an ideal property for serious boaters. A hand-painted fish mural by renowned Florida artist Jared Stinchcomb — known for his work at the Marco Island Historical Museum — creates a one-of-a-kind artistic focal point. Located beside the historic stone coral bait house from Gulf Harbor’s early days as a natural fishing estuary, the setting is rich in authentic Old Florida charm. The interior continues the refined coastal narrative with hand-glazed concrete walls and a remarkable 10-layer continuous poured epoxy floor in sapphire tones, evoking the layered hues of the ocean. The flexible layout includes two bedrooms plus a sun room that could function as a third sleeping area, a spacious primary suite with separate sitting area and dual closets, and a marble tile bath with hand-laid detailing. The kitchen features a restaurant-style stainless steel sink and console, custom concrete dining table, and solid wood cypress cabinetry, all conveying durability and design.
