Set on nearly 6 private acres along the south side of the Caloosahatchee River, just east of the Franklin Locks, this extraordinary waterfront estate offers a combination of acreage, deep-water access, and privacy that is rarely available in Southwest Florida. With 170 feet of direct river frontage, protected deep water yacht dockage, and breathtaking views stretching across the water, this is a property designed for those who appreciate both luxury and lifestyle. The fully renovated main residence features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and approximately 1,742 square feet of thoughtfully updated living space. Cathedral ceilings with exposed wood beams create a warm, inviting atmosphere, while impact-resistant windows frame panoramic river views throughout the home. The modern kitchen is finished with custom cabinetry, quality appliances, and clean contemporary finishes, flowing seamlessly into the main living areas and out to the expansive screened balcony overlooking the river. Positioned at approximately 13 feet of elevation, the home also offers added peace of mind. Privately situated near the front of the property, the fully renovated guest home offers an additional 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and approximately 1,275 square feet of living space. Currently operating as a successful vacation rental, it presents exceptional flexibility as an income-producing property, private guest quarters, or accommodations for extended family. Boaters will appreciate the custom dock tucked inside a protected canal, complete with water and electric service, accommodations for yachts up to 80 feet, and a private boat ramp providing effortless access to the Caloosahatchee River and beyond. Whether spending the day cruising, fishing, or enjoying spectacular sunsets from your own dock, the waterfront lifestyle is on full display. Beyond the homes, the property offers a horse barn and expansive open acreage, creating endless possibilities for an equestrian lifestyle, recreational use, or future enhancements. Whether envisioned as a private family compound, luxury waterfront retreat, or investment opportunity with established rental income, this exceptional estate delivers a level of versatility and exclusivity that is truly difficult to replicate. Properties offering this much land, privacy, and navigable waterfront are exceedingly rare. This is more than a home. .. .it's a legacy estate where boating, entertaining, and peaceful riverfront living come together on one remarkable property
