Developer Marshall Gobuty has revealed plans for the construction of a new resort and marina in Cortez, a historic fishing village in Manatee County. The plans for the project, Hunters Point Resort & Marina, calls for 148 cottage-style residences, 49 boat slips, a public marina and a community center. Of the 148 “Cracker”cottages, 62 are designed as hotel rooms for short-term rentals. Cortez is one of the Gulf Coast’s oldest fishing villages, with 97 buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
“Hunters Point is taking a long revered style of Florida architecture and updating it for 21st-century living,” said Marshall Gobuty. “After researching the history of Cortez we’ve adopted the look, style, feeling and approach to the early 20th century Florida ‘Cracker’ cottage style home and modernized it for today, while going farther with the same environmentally friendly, energy efficient design approach we took with Mirabella.”
