Thank you for your "unsolicited suggestion".
I'll relay your "take on the matter" to the seller.
Summerland Key, six miles away, has a private runway—lined with private houses. You can land your Cessna in between this row of houses, and taxi into your big and wide garage! (The Keys requires houses on stilts because of occasional heavy flooding due to "hurricane surge").
There are $59 commercial flights to nearby Key West from Kentucky.
Private jets can land at nearby Marathon airport. Rental cars can be arranged at Marathon and Key West. Shopping at either location discloses duplicate offices and shops.
Marathon Key has some congested areas of mobile homes on small lots. Big Pine Key is very open, with no congestion. (Just 12 minutes to one of the world's best beaches—cited nearly every year).
This picture shows the huge porch (far left), which I estimate could maintain
three table tennis courts. Above it is an open, but private, sun deck—with railings. Below this pictured porch is parking for two cars or boats—with additional space underneath for more cars and boats, or for your favorite hobby.
