The park is bordered by the Salt Marsh Preserve, renowned for hiking trails, abundant wildlife, and amazing sunsets. Enjoy 1/80th ownership in the non-profit corporation that owns the community. Very low monthly rent of 455 covers water, sewer, trash, and property management. Amenities include a large clubhouse, pool, BBQ, laundry, car wash, beautiful landscaping, and seasonal decorations. The top sales of recent-model homes in the park appear to be 1.55M and 1.30M (buyer to verify).

Exquisitely Updated Interior: The home has been exquisitely updated, suggesting a modern and move-in ready condition that appeals to buyers seeking contemporary finishes without immediate renovation needs.

Natural Surroundings & Recreation: Bordered by the Salt Marsh Preserve, the community offers direct access to hiking trails, abundant wildlife, and stunning sunsets, enhancing the lifestyle appeal.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =2000, other record lot size in square feet = 873.
Non-Traditional Ownership Structure: The resident-owned park model (co-op/land lease variant) may present challenges with financing options and could appeal to a narrower buyer pool compared to traditional fee-simple ownership.
Age of Structure: Despite being updated, the home was built in 1978, meaning the underlying infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) may be older and could require future maintenance or upgrades not covered by cosmetic renovations.
Limited Living Space: With 1040 sqft of living space and a 2000 sqft lot, the property offers relatively compact dimensions, which might be a drawback for buyers seeking more expansive living areas or outdoor space, especially at this price point.
