The place was on 1/8 acre, with a canal to the ocean. They were going
to buy it from some friends, were going to pay only 45,000. They
decided to stay north instead. I understand it had a gutter and a
garage wall come down in the hurricaine.

Pine Island is surrounded by Pine Island Sound on two sides, Port
Charlotte Harbor to the north, and Matlacha Pass to the east. The
north end got whacked pretty badly by hurricane Charlie three years
ago. There were literally miles of telephone poles that had been
snapped in two like match sticks. $45K is an excellent price for any
land on a deep water canal, even with no structure on it.

I know, it was long time friends who offered it, with a canal, house
and furnishings. Another friend ended up buying it.
