Can anyone tell me about the half-built estate along the mid-keys, at mile marker 72??
It is the concrete walls, no windows and roof trusses that look like they are about 2 years old. The sea wall is in, but there is no sign of this building being worked on to be finished someday.It is a gorgeous spot. I cannot imagine it being not ever finished to live in. Any locals to enlighten me??

It's a LOT older than 2 years. It was like that when I started coming back to the Keys 9 years ago (I first visited here in the early 80s and now live in Key West). The story I got was that the guy who owns the property is in prison. Organized crime or something similar. Drugs maybe?
The little island IS beautiful and has the most gorgeous lagoon in the Keys along US 1. I would love to own it and finish the building but I would guess it can't be done for any kind of reasonable money.
If you want to know more, contact the Monroe County website and plug in the address, if you can find it. Or call them. I don't have the energy.
