Move-In Ready Homestead with Guest House and Elevation Perk
This flood-resistant concrete block home on 2/3-acre in historic Yankeetown has a very special feature: It’s one of the few Florida homes accepted into the new Elevate Florida program. This transferable program helps owners raise homes in coastal regions above flood zones. It pays up to $220,000, while the owner pays one-fourth or less of the total elevating costs. The owners have completed all of the paperwork through stage 2 of this process, including inspections.
