North Niles at Ramrod Key: Premier Real Estate Development Opportunity in the Florida Keys

The Location

Located in the Florida Keys on Overseas Highway, Ramrod Key was named after a ship named Ramrod, which was wrecked on a reef south of the island in the early nineteenth century. Positioned at mile marker 26, North Niles at Ramrod Key is just 24 miles from Key West Airport.

This prime property features over 1.5 miles of water frontage and is the largest single connected piece of land available in the Keys at 186 acres. It boasts the tallest bridge clearance from Key West to Marathon at 38 feet and the deepest boat basin at over 20 feet. With direct access to the Atlantic Ocean and Niles Channel, and over one mile of water frontage, this site is ideal for marine activities. Additionally, it offers almost half a mile of frontage on Overseas Highway, enhancing its visibility and accessibility.

The lots include a mix of habitats and zoning types, all of which have been documented and surveyed. Environmental studies and surveys are complete, confirming the land's suitability for development.
