About this home

NORTH FORT MYERS | 13.37 ACRES | AG-2 | DUAL PARCEL | OLD BAYSHORE ROAD Rarely does an opportunity like this come to market. Thirteen-plus contiguous, fully fenced acres — two adjoining parcels sold together — positioned directly across from the Lee County Civic Center along one of Southwest Florida's most active growth corridors. With 207 feet of frontage on Old Bayshore Road, dual commercial-grade access points, and AG-2 zoning, this is a strategically timed acquisition for developers, investors, and owner-operators looking to capitalize on the explosive expansion reshaping North Fort Myers. The location alone tells the story. Situated squarely within the SR-31/Bayshore corridor connecting to Babcock Ranch — consistently ranked among the nation's top-selling master-planned communities — this property sits at the intersection of where Southwest Florida is heading. Substantial residential, commercial, and infrastructure investment is already underway in every direction. The infrastructure is ready to work. Two gated entry points capable of handling semi-trailers, heavy equipment, RVs, and large machinery. Public water service to both the residence and barn. A separate irrigation well. A 900-gallon septic system. And a fully equipped 2,400 sq ft pole barn (built 2013) with concrete floors, 120V/230V electric, city water, full bath, tack room, hay loft, and three oversized 14-foot bay doors. This isn't raw land — it's a fully operational platform ready for immediate use or repositioning. The residence delivers livability at scale. The elevated custom home (built 2011, approx. 1,940 sq ft under air) features concrete block first-floor construction, metal roof, tile throughout, oversized dual-bay garage, covered lanai with hot tub, and sweeping views over the fenced acreage and two onsite ponds — one natural protected wetland, one man-made. Current use is already income-aware. Approximately 3 acres operate as an active tree farm with existing agricultural exemption benefits — keeping carrying costs lean while longer-term development or repositioning plays out. No easements impacting the property. Survey on file. Ideal for: Land banking | Residential development | Commercial development | Agricultural or equestrian operations | Contractor/nursery/landscaping headquarters | RV & equipment storage | Live-work compound Minutes to: I-75 | Downtown Fort Myers | Punta Gorda | Babcock Ranch/SR-31 expansion corridor
