One hundred feet of the property is sea-walled, with no mangroves. The remainder has mature mangrove shoreline protection. A total of two homes exist on the prop- erty, in addition to a Small storage shed, a larger storage unit and a separate garage with laundry and half bath. Both homes would be suitable for guest cottages. These five parcels should accom- modate six or seven homes, community pool and tennis court - all within walking distance of Turner Beach.
