DESCRIPTION:

Permitted houseboats on Lake Don Pedro are extremely hard to come by. Opportunities like this rarely hit the market.

If you know the lake, you already understand:
the permit is the real value.

This is a 16’ x 50’ special construction houseboat project ready for someone to bring it back to life and build exactly what they want from the ground up.

🔧 Current Condition

• Cabin fully gutted down to the structure
• Approx. 1/3 of floor system rebuilt with metal joists
• Blank-slate open layout ready for custom design

⚙️ Included

• Extra set of replacement pontoons
 ↳ usable but will need recoating
• Running outboard motor
• Existing frame/hull structure

💡 Why This Is Valuable

• Permits on Don Pedro are extremely limited
• Boats can be rebuilt — permits are the hard part
• Build your dream layout exactly how you want it
• Huge potential for the right buyer

The gutted/open layout gives you the opportunity to redesign the entire floorplan from scratch — including a modern reverse floor plan with the kitchen/living area toward the rear deck for better entertaining, swimming access, and lake views.

Perfect for someone with:
✔ Construction experience
✔ Welding/fabrication skills
✔ Houseboat knowledge
✔ Vision

• Structural floor completion
• Pontoon prep/coating
