1146–1152 Bald Eagle Drive • Old Marco • Direct Gulf-Access Condos
Model Village Marco Island Condos for Sale
Model Village on Marco Island is a small waterfront condominium community in historic Old Marco, extending from approximately 1146 through 1152 Bald Eagle Drive. Model Village Unit One contains about 30 condominiums and combines direct-access boating, multiple floor-plan sizes, a community pool and a low-rise residential setting near the Marco River.
Current property records identify the principal Model Village buildings as 1973 construction. Residence sizes vary considerably, from compact one-bedroom plans to substantially larger two- and three-bedroom configurations, so buyers should identify the exact building and floor-plan family before relying on community-wide averages.

Varied Floor PlansDocumented residences range from compact one-bedroom layouts to much larger three-bedroom homes.
Model Village Unit One in Old Marco
Model Village is arranged across several Bald Eagle Drive addresses, including 1146, 1148, 1150 and 1152 Bald Eagle Drive. The exact building position can affect canal exposure, relationship to the pool, balcony orientation, proximity to docks and ease of access to parking.
Because the community is small, one or two listings can represent a meaningful share of available inventory at any given time. Buyers seeking a particular building, larger floor plan or permanent dock right may need to monitor Model Village closely.
Model Village Floor Plans
Model Village contains several distinct residence sizes rather than one repetitive plan. Current property records document floor plans around 562, 722, 813 and 1,379 square feet, with one-, two- and three-bedroom configurations represented within the community.
Approx. 562 Sq. Ft.Compact one-bedroom residences form an important entry-level Model Village category.
Approx. 722 Sq. Ft.Selected two-bedroom residences provide additional guest or office flexibility.
Approx. 813 Sq. Ft.Larger two-bedroom configurations can provide additional living area and storage.
Approx. 1,379 Sq. Ft.Rare larger residences may include three bedrooms and multi-level living.
Valuation rule: do not compare a compact one-bedroom Model Village condo directly with a substantially larger two- or three-bedroom residence simply because both share the same subdivision name. Start with the floor-plan family, building and water relationship.
Direct Gulf-Access Boating
Model Village is identified as a direct-access boating condominium on a canal connecting toward the Marco River and Gulf of Mexico. Current information reports no fixed bridges on the boating route, which can be important for owners of vessels with towers, T-tops or other height-sensitive equipment.
Boating suitability remains property- and vessel-specific. Buyers should verify practical water depth, canal width, tides, vessel length, beam, draft and the exact dock right associated with the residence.
Boat Docks & Dock Rights
Dock rights at Model Village are not identical for every condominium. Current community information identifies common docks as well as limited-common-element or unit-associated dock arrangements. Selected resale properties have also been marketed with deeded or otherwise residence-specific boat-slip rights.
Legal Dock RightConfirm whether a slip is deeded, limited common element, assigned, common-use or otherwise controlled.
Vessel FitVerify length, beam, draft and physical dock dimensions for the intended boat.
Common-Dock RulesConfirm current reservation procedures, use periods, insurance requirements and vessel limits.
TransferabilityDetermine whether any private or limited-common dock right transfers with the condominium.
Pool, Social Areas & Everyday Amenities
Model Village provides a community swimming pool, pool-house or social area, barbecue facilities, elevators in portions of the community, assigned parking and other shared conveniences. Amenity availability and owner responsibilities should be confirmed through current condominium documents.
For a smaller 30-residence community, the relationship between a particular condo and the pool, canal, docks, parking and neighboring buildings can materially influence both privacy and day-to-day use.
Short-Term Rental Considerations
Model Village has historically offered comparatively flexible rental potential for Marco Island condominium ownership. Buyers purchasing with rental use in mind should verify the current minimum lease period, permitted lease frequency, association approval procedures, City of Marco Island requirements, taxes, licensing and any building-specific restrictions before projecting income.
Pet Rules
Current community information should be reviewed for the latest pet restrictions before purchase. Buyers should rely on the written governing documents and appropriate professional guidance for any legally applicable accommodation requirements rather than assuming older listing remarks remain controlling.
Storm Protection, Flood & Insurance
Model Village's waterfront location makes wind, flood and insurance analysis important. Individual residences can differ in windows, sliding doors, shutters, HVAC, electrical upgrades and interior renovation, while the association controls different common building and waterfront components.
Review current master insurance, deductibles, flood information, association responsibilities, reserve funding and any planned capital projects together with the unit-owner policy needed for the individual condominium.
Association & Building Due Diligence
Budget & ReservesReview operating expenses, reserve balances, current contributions and anticipated projects.
InsuranceUnderstand master coverage, deductibles, exclusions and unit-owner responsibilities.
Elevators & Building SystemsReview maintenance, inspection and reserve planning where applicable.
Waterfront InfrastructureEvaluate docks, pilings, seawall or shoreline systems and associated maintenance obligations.
How to Compare Model Village Values
Same-community sales normally provide the strongest starting point, but the comparable group should be narrowed carefully. Model Village contains unusually different residence sizes for such a small development.

Model Village Condos for Sale
The dedicated listing search above is restricted to Marco Island + Model Village Condo + condominium property type. The dedicated map search is now restricted to that same Model Village scope rather than the former broad Marco Island condo map.
When no active listing is available, that is a valid result for a 30-residence community and is preferable to displaying unrelated Marco Island condominium inventory.

Selling a Model Village Condo
Model Village sellers should begin with the exact residence category rather than a community-wide average. Building, floor-plan size, bedroom count, floor level, canal or river exposure, balcony, assigned parking and verified dock rights establish the permanent valuation framework.
Renovation, impact-resistant windows and doors, HVAC, appliances, furnishings and other improvements can then be compared after the permanent property characteristics have been aligned.
