Glorious Tampa Bay, on Florida’s Gulf Coast, has long been associated with swashbuckling pirates and tales of buried treasure. Indeed there is even a whole gallery devoted to the subject at Tampa Bay History Center, featuring a 60-foot, 18th-century pirate ship as its centrepiece and where you can learn about little-known pirates like “Calico” Jack Rackham and Anne Bonny, who prowled Florida’s coasts in the 1700s.

Fast forward through the centuries and today’s Treasure Hunters need look no further than this glorious piece of treasure located  on the cul-de-sac of Treasure Drive— one of the most coveted waterfront streets in Beach Park, Tampa Bay.

In accordance with the rich Spanish influence of the conquistadors this charming Spanish Colonial home offers open water views of Tampa Bay, the St. Pete skyline, and one of Tampa’s best kept secrets, secluded Pirate’s Cove.

Redevelopment is possible or you could just enjoy this four bedroom/five bathroom family home set on just over a quarter of an acre. Spacious living accommodation is offered and the gardens flow down to the waters edge where you have a protected dock and covered 10,000 lb. boat lift.

You can even sit on your dock and watch dolphins and manatees swim by daily – or maybe, if you look really hard, spot a ghostly pirate ship from your very own treasure trove.

25 South Treasure Drive is for sale for $4,100,00 (17/06/23) reduced by $850,000 from its original asking price and more details can be sought from the listing agent, Tara Curry at Smith & Associates.
