Finally, a unique country estate, that is near the water, but not in it during storms because it’s NOT IN A FLOOD ZONE! No more tears, no anxiety, just lots of land that is as easy to insure as it is to enjoy. The home’s risk mitigation includes: Durable metal roof, hurricane glass, raised foundation, and huge diesel generator that can power the entire property for weeks. It’s the perfect safe house for your family. Now that we are “all clear” let’s go outside and play. Located on North River Road this area is renowned for boasting many amenities making this home’s location ideal as it is surrounded by five (5) county outdoor recreation parks offering: mountain bike park, horseback riding trails, kayaking/fishing, nature trails, campgrounds. If you are more a seafarer than you’re in luck because you also have the choice of two (2) boat launches giving you: Caloosahatchee River access to great nearby restaurants on Sunday outings, and Inter-coastal waterways passages. Now any great home has a massive 50X50 toy box, right? Well, this property does and it’s amazingly air-conditioned with 14-foot-high ceilings and bright lights to store or wash your 45’ motor home or large boat. The garage also has full RV hook ups inside and out so invite the whole family. Spend days lost in your projects in this hideout because it includes a full bath for the ultimate convenience, commercial-grade auto lift, and durable epoxy flooring. Maybe you would prefer to just relax on the front-screened porch and watch the stars, or work from the beautiful built-in home office. The area nearby is being developed into a self-sustaining popular economic hub (Babcock Ranch), making it super convenient for shopping without the need to fight traffic.
