About this home

The long, winding driveway takes you back in time to a Sanibel retreat unlike all others. The quaint two bedroom, two bath piling home is nestled in the heart of 64,800 sq. ft. (1.51 acres) of enchanted woodlands. The towering Kapok tree sits amongst a host of queen and royal palms that give the property its unique qualities. The privacy is unparalleled anywhere on the island. Plenty of room for future expansion, a private pool and more. A dream-like location for nature lovers everywhere. The north end of the lot abuts the Sanibel River, which is a great place to kayak or canoe right from your back yard!
