16427 Porto Bello ST BOKEELIA FL 33922 MLS #226021816

Boaters – this is the one you wait years for. A direct Gulf-access salt canal home on a wide, no-bridge canal with less than a 30-second boat ride to the open water, and a feature almost impossible to find anymore: a private, grandfathered-in boat ramp right on the property, so you launch and retrieve your own boat by trailer without ever leaving home or paying for storage.

Sitting on an oversized 9,000 sqft lot (bigger than most on the street), this solid 1970 concrete-block home has been set up for the next owner to enjoy the water immediately.

Recent improvements (2025)
• Brand-new covered boat lift (awning needs replaced), installed 2025
• Brand-new pilings and wooden dock
• All-new landscaping: 5+ palm trees and fresh sod
• New paver driveway and new paver patio in back
• Move-in-ready outdoor living right on the canal
• New exterior shed for added storage

Storm remediation – already done
This home took on water during Hurricane Milton (2024) and has since been professionally remediated and rebuilt:

• Drywall cut and removed to 3 ft, wood framing dried and treated
• All-new insulation and new drywall throughout (finished, ready for paint)
• Plumbing and electric fully on and working – no leaks, no issues
• Roof and HVAC in good working order – no leaks or issues
• New water heater

The heavy lifting is done. The home just needs the finishing touches, and the out-of-state seller is tired of renovations:

• Interior paint (drywall is finished, not yet painted)
• New appliances
• General cleanup

Knock out cosmetic repairs and you’ve got a turnkey Gulf-access home with a private ramp – cannot beat the value!
