Overview

Main Key is a 145.5-acre private island located in Barnes Sound, Monroe County, FL. The property features over a mile of pristine white sandy beaches along its east shoreline. The western and southern shorelines span over 4 miles and are characterized by mangroves reaching heights of 30 to 50 feet, creating a rookery abundant with gamefish, shellfish, sea mammals, and tropical birds. The property is conveyed via a TIFF Deed. The island includes 12 upland acres suitable for constructing a substantial structure without ROGO requirements. Historical records indicate that three large structures existed on the SE Government Lot area in the 1930s and 40s. A new dock permit is in place for the SE beach off the old homesite, including a lift, platform, and mooring slip. An additional permit is being applied for on the south side of Main Key for a 135 ft dock with a 40 ft platform and seven heavy pilings, designed to accommodate a large vessel up to 100 ft in length. A tide station was established by the USGS, later NOAA, in the 1930s. 'The Tides at Main Key' was a well-known reference point in Marine Weather forecasts on South Florida TV and NOAA Weather Radio for the Upper Keys and Florida Bay. The property is zoned OS - Offshore Island Dist.
