Best-Selling Author Carl Hiaasen Lists Florida Home for $3.4M

Published: April 5, 2016 | By: American Luxury Staff

Author Carl Hiaasen has listed his 1.85-acre waterfront property in Islamorada, Florida, for $3.4 million, and it’s the perfect chance for a buyer looking to move to the Florida Keys to begin a life of island living.

The ocean-view house has six bedrooms and an open layout with a plethora of decks to lounge about and take in the breeze, and don’t worry about the mosquitos since many of the decks feature netting to keep the pesky bugs out of people’s hair. There is also a cabana near the pool for those not wanting to get sand caught between their toes.

The best-selling author has been a lifelong Florida resident. He began his career as a journalist which led to a job with the Miami Herald, where he is still a weekly columnist for the newspaper. His works as an author have been turned into songs and movies, first with Jimmy Buffet turning the main character of his debut solo work “Tourist Season” into the popular song “The Ballad of Skip Wiley,” and his 2002 children’s novel “Hoot,” which was turned into a movie by the same name starring Brie Larson, Logan Lerman, and Luke Wilson just four years later.
