The new Bank Owned duplex located at 6 Tern Lane on Geiger Key is a property that may appeal to a select group of buyers who want direct water access at an affordable price. The property is located east of Key West at Mile Marker 10. CLICK MAP. While I have not yet seen this particular property, there are two things I know about the area. First, the Naval Air Station located there. That means houses in the vicinity will always be subject to the noise of jets. Second, there is a desolate nude beach up there someplace. If either offends your sensibilities, don't read any further. (Please don't send me emails asking how to find the beach because I don't know.)

"The main house features a 3 bedroom 1 bath unit upstairs and a 2 bedroom 2 bath unit downstairs. Waterfront duplex located just minutes from Key West, this property is nestled at the end of a small private road with a private pool and hot tub."The agent that listed this house when it sold in Mach 2006 for $699,000 described it this way:
