Gulf Harbors New Port Richey Florida

Gulf Harbors is a waterfront community with deep water canals and gulf front luxury homes. It was built in the 50's when canal dredging and blasting thru lime rock was allowed. Large luxury yachts and sailboats can comfortably moor up at these waterfront home. And occasionally you can see the Goliath Grouper in your backyard canal, especially if you  snorkel or dive, along with numerous other fish species, thru the clear water. Most original homes are one story ranch with 3 or more bedrooms from 1600 square feet, originally with tile roof. Outdoor swimming pools, patios, and covered lanais are popular. More recently, some of the older maintenance deferred homes have been bought and razed to make way for the mansions and larger estate homes on these desirable waterfront lots and community. 2013 prices start about $200,000 for often just the value of a lot, up to serveral million for the gulf front mansions.

There is a neighborhood Private Beach, with picnic and grills and shade structures, that looks right out on the open Gulf Water.
