One of the best locations in all of Fort Myers, this 1.53 acre oversized riverfront estate property is absolutely outstanding with sunset views and fireworks. The huge existing home has been loved and updated, but the value here is the land. This property is being offered in three separate listings. Option A, you can purchase the entire 1.53 acre property with 201' of river frontage. Live in the house, tear it down, or rent it until you are ready to build. Option B, you can purchase the southern 0.79 acre of this property with 101' of river frontage. Option C, you can purchase the northern 0.74 acre of this property with 101' of river frontage. There is no through traffic on this quiet street and the surrounding homes are beautiful. Walk this property, experience the river, feel the cool shade of the mature trees, and write an offer quickly. Ask for list of 10 recent river lot sales for comparison purposes, but this should be an easy decision if you have studied river values. Call now!
