Almost everyone in Monroe County knows that there are several unique subdivisions on Big Pine Key – but there are a number of unintentionally hidden treasures that are not known to many. On the northeast section of Big Pine is one of these largely unknown subdivisions known as Koehn’s Subdivision – and is often referred to by locals as “The Old Big Pine Key Fishing Village”.

Located in the midst of a large indigenous area along with lush tropical landscape at the end of the main road in Koehn’s, is a beautiful bay front view, along with sailboats at anchor and fish abounding.

long ago witnessed a group of 12 juvenile deer bounding out of the thick woods in the middle of this area, they were together as a team, playing and kicking up their heels.

Far off the beaten path, yet it is just a few minutes drive to the local supermarket, restaurants, dive shops and other local amenities. Back in this quiet part of Big Pine there is practically no traffic, and wildlife and the sounds of nature abound. Many of the yards are beautifully landscaped with tropical trees, hedges and flowers, but most have plenty of room for a garden.
