Looking for HOA Fees of only $200 per Year!? This little 2 bedroom, 2 bath bungalow is located in charming Braden Castle Park at the meeting of the Manatee and Braden Rivers and the ancestral home of Dr. Braden who helped found the city. Originally purchased in 1924 by a group of Tin Can Tourists there are now 197 homes whose community services are paid for by fees collected at the nearby mobile home park. Each home is unique and the community comes alive in the winter with celebrations such as Indiana Day, Michigan Day and even All States Day. Any reason for a pot-luck or a celebration of the good life on the river. The community includes a boat ramp, marina, 700 ft. fishing pier, shuffle board courts, community room and many breathtaking views of all the boating and wildlife spectacles the rivers have to offer. Sunrises and Sunsets are spectacular across the water. Braden Castle Park has a Community Hall, Leisure Hall, separate Men's and Ladies Club Houses, Library, Fitness Center and even a Sewing Center which all help to tighten the sense of community. During season there are exercise classes, Bingo, Canasta, Pinochle, and Bridge gatherings to name just a few. But.... there is also a change afoot as more of these old bungalows are being restored to their original charm. Come and be a part of this unique treasure of Florida's Gulf coast.
