Welcome to Mariner’s Retreat, an extraordinary waterfront estate and development opportunity in the heart of historic Terra Ceia, Florida. Nestled along more than 475 feet of pristine shoreline on Tillette Bayou and Terra Ceia Bay, this rare Old Florida sanctuary spans approximately 9.64 acres across three parcels, offering a seamless blend of private coastal living and investment-grade potential. Anchoring the estate at 1470 Bayshore Drive is a meticulously updated, three-story residence encompassing over 3,600 square feet under air with a brand new roof.
