Waterfront Retreat in Turkey Creek – Gateway to Florida’s Legendary Waterways! Tucked away in the distinctive boating community of Turkey Creek, an Ortona subdivision adjacent to the historic Ortona Locks, offers an authentic Old Florida lifestyle with exceptional boating access. Set on a 65’ x 100’ deep-water canal lot, the property features a sturdy dock equipped with water and electric, providing effortless access to the Caloosahatchee River, part of the Intracoastal Waterway. The wood-frame home is elevated on a solid concrete block foundation with concrete pilings and topped with a durable metal galvalume roof. The upper level offers approximately 1,300+/- square feet, featuring two bedrooms, one bath, a galley kitchen, and a spacious great room for living and dining. The heart of the home is the dramatic living area, highlighted by a rustic tongue-and-groove vaulted wood ceiling, a cozy Franklin stove, and expansive sliding glass doors that open to a second-living-room-sized screened porch—perfect for relaxing while taking in tranquil canal and waterfront views. The lower level includes a garage, a workshop with built-in workbench and generous storage for projects, a laundry area, and a second full bath. Conveniently located just 15 minutes from downtown LaBelle and 20 minutes from downtown Moore Haven, this unique waterfront retreat truly delivers on the promise to slow down, simplify, and savor life on the water.
