The property ends within 50' of the Gulf of Mexico at one corner of the full acre plot. Privacy is ensured because of its location in a quiet residential neighborhood, and Gulf of Mexico water views are permanently protected inasmuch as the City owns the Conservation Zoned property in front of this parcel before you get to navigable waters of the Gulf.
