The usual lot here in Ortona is 65ft wide on the water, although there are some double lots.
From fairly new fancy construction to rehabbed house trailers the community is mostly boaters .
Docks are easy to construct , the pioneers used water hoses and a home well pump, I have a 2 inch gas Honda folks borrow. There is also a community spud barge anyone can borrow.
Only one canal is shallow 4 ft the rest were dug to 16-18 ft to build up the lots. Usually 6ft +in Turkey Creek.
Live aboard is OK , but a small building for toilet , washing etc with a septic system is required .
By far a splendid hurricane hole , as the built up land protects the boats in the canals.
La Belle is 15 miles of open road, hardware store , Wallmart all the usual, with one great (for us) Mexican carry out.
Ft Myers is an hour away .
Places on the river are considered more scenic as boats go buy , but keeping a boat happy & safe with 4-5 ft wakes is difficult.
The prices are reasonable and best suited to cruisers as its 2 locks and a couple of bridges to get into the Gulf.
Anyone passing by is welcome to come visit and see the area. Do call first!!!
I have a shop for woodwork, so bring a project that needs a table saw , drill press or my favorite ,a 6x48 table sander.
