Dreamcatcher Island, a 5-acre private island near Tampa Bay, is back on the market

A privately owned 5-acre island only accessible by boat is back on the market  in Homosassa.

Located a little over an hour north of Tampa at 12451 The Homosassa Riv, "Dreamcatcher Island" sits at the mouth of the Homosassa River, just downstream from Monkey Island, and has been used as a vacation rental property over the years.

The island comes with a 2,800-square-foot main house with three bedrooms, and three bathrooms. It also also features two kitchens, a solar-heated saltwater pool and spa, a floating tiki hut, a 5,000-gallon rainwater cistern, a tractor, a golf cart, a dock, and a 20-foot pontoon boat.

For how close it is to civilization, the island is actually pretty secluded, and most of it is still underdeveloped. It's also ideally positioned at mile marker 71, which is just a short boat ride to the springs for snorkeling or out to the Gulf for scalloping.

Dreamcatcher Island was sold to its current owner just last year for $649,900, and is currently asking $899,900.

The listing agent is Philip Oakes of Silver King Properties.
