From the listing
This spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bath plus den residence offers 1,790 square feet of light-filled living space in the desirable Botanica tower, with a south-facing corner exposure overlooking the lush garden courtyard and fountain below. Located in Key Colony, one of Key Biscayne's most coveted beachfront communities, with private beach access and unmatched island living.Amenities include: private building pool and BBQ area, 12 championship tennis courts, fitness center, kids' playground, dog park, 24-hour controlled access security, on-site beauty salon/spa, and Golden Hog gourmet market, all just steps from private beach frontage with beachfront café. The unit includes two covered parking spaces just steps from the lobby. Currently furnished, with furniture available at a low additional cost, or the owner is open to removing it if the buyer prefers an empty unit.Unlike most units in Botanica and most Key Biscayne condominiums, #265 is one of a limited number of "Specified Units" allowing legal short-term rentals with no minimum lease period. The advantage most apartments on the island simply can't offer, with real income potential in a market where this flexibility is scarce.Don't miss your chance to own one of Key Biscayne's most exclusive addresses. Move-in ready and ideal for a full-time resident, seasonal owner, or investor.
Monthly payment calculator
Rate: 7.24% 30-year fixed average (Freddie Mac, week of October 29, 2026). Your own rate may differ; you can change it here.
Estimate, not a loan offer. Tax default: the higher of the seller's bill and about 1.9% of price (Florida resets a new owner's assessment). Insurance default: Florida OIR county average with wind, data as of Mar 31 2026. Rate is an assumption; your lender sets the real one. Zach doesn't take lender or title referral fees.
Florida risk facts
- Flood zone
- Zone AE: high-risk flood area. A FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area (about a 1% chance of flooding each year). Lenders require flood insurance for federally backed mortgages here. Source: FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, checked Oct 31, 2026. This is a map lookup, not an official flood zone determination.
- Wind and building code
- Built in 1981, before the statewide Florida Building Code took effect in 2002. Ask for the wind mitigation report; it can lower insurance. My Safe Florida Home offers free inspections and grants when funded.
- Disclosure
- Florida sellers must give you a flood disclosure about known flood damage, insurance claims and federal assistance (§689.302).
We don't show crime scores or rate neighborhoods. Every listing is open to everyone.
