Big Pine Key

One-of-a-Kind Property

50 years ago, this house was the first one built in the Whispering Pines 4 subdivision on Big Pine Key. The solid CBS house sits on a half acre of beautiful, lush foliage and features 150 foot canal with a boat ramp and davits. A special feature is the adjacent properties are county-owned and will never be developed because of the Key Deer Sanctuary.
