373 Hile Lane Tucked along the Peace River, where protected wildlife stretches for miles and the pace of life naturally slows, this elevated home feels like a hidden retreat. The main living space sits safely high and dry-never flooded-so you can relax and truly enjoy the setting. Mornings begin on the expansive porch, coffee in hand, watching the river drift by; evenings invite long conversations, fresh air, and quiet moments you didn't realize you were missing. Inside, the home offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms, including an oversized bath with the flexibility to become a third bedroom if needed. The open kitchen flows easily into the living space and out to the porch, making it perfect for everyday living or entertaining. Below, a rare open-sided basement offers endless possibilities-workshop, creative space, or the ultimate man cave. With new windows, impact-rated sliding doors, updated appliances, and a new electric panel, the heavy lifting has already been done. It's private, peaceful, and full of old Florida character-yet just 15 minutes from downtown Punta Gorda. Whether you're looking for a seasonal escape, a remote-work haven, or a relaxed place to retire, this is a rare opportunity to own something truly special. And with a buyer credit offered, it's an even better time to make it yours.
