REAL ESTATE
The property known as the Ben Skinner
Homestead has 150 feet of pristine waterfront,
along with 39,600 square feet of additional
submerged land, a private beach and a 200-foot
wooden dock over sailboat depth water. Skinner
built his home in 1949, so some may want to
refurbish, renovate, or even replace it. But there
is no replacement for the 55,800 square feet of
wooded land that is minutes from downtown
122 TAMPA BAY MAGAZINE | MARCH/APRIL 2018
Dunedin. The land is currently zoned tourist
facility with a county land use designation of
residential urban that allows it to be used for
a variety of uses, including multi-family units
of 7.5 units per acre for condos, townhomes or
apartments. Since the site has access from both
Bayshore Boulevard (U.S. Alternate 19) from
the east and prestigious Santa Barbara from the
north, it could be subdivided into multiple lots.
The waterfront views and
access to the Intracoastal
Waterway make this one of
the most desirable properties
in Dunedin.
