YOUR OWN PRIVATE ISLAND—CONNECTED TO EVERYTHING, YET A WORLD APART. Discover an extraordinary waterfront opportunity along scenic Fort Denaud Road: a private island with a distinctive 3-bedroom, 2-bath home, three docks, and an included mainland lot on the Caloosahatchee Intracoastal Waterway. This is a heavy duty built home with he highest quality frame with open beamed ceilings and decorative cupolas. A private bridge, rebuilt in 2022, creates an unforgettable entrance beneath a canopy of moss-draped oaks. Inside, soaring wood ceilings, exposed beams, and expansive walls of glass bring the outdoors into the home, with beautiful views from every room. The open living spaces and inviting kitchen offer warmth and character, while light-filled bedrooms capture the peaceful island surroundings. Enjoy morning coffee overlooking the water, afternoons on the river, and evenings beneath the trees. A roof-top sun deck overlooks all sides of this spectacular island view. Three docks offer places to enjoy the waterfront, while circular drive access adds everyday convenience. This remarkable setting captures the natural beauty and timeless Old Florida charm that make Fort Denaud such a special place to call home. The included mainland lot adds exciting possibilities: explore building a primary residence along Fort Denaud Road while retaining the island home as a private guest retreat. Septic system for mainland lot is already in place. A future pool could further enhance the property. Additional construction, guest-house use, a potential event venue, or keeping horses would be subject to zoning, permitting, and applicable county and agency approvals. Location is only 30 miles from the chic historic waterfront area of downtown Fort Myers and 5 miles from LaBelle’s historic downtown area with several restaurants and shopping centers. It should be noted that the Caloosahatchee River is intracoastal, fresh water, between two locks, making this a “hurricane hole” for boaters and a private island retreat for those who love the “unique” and often hard to find SW FL property, particularly still with privacy intact. (Seller reports no flooding during Hurricane Ian). Whether envisioned as a full-time residence, a seasonal escape, or a gathering place for generations, this is a unique opportunity to create something truly special. Furniture negotiable.
