About this home

We offer an amazing opportunity to own almost ¾ acre of river front property located in the River Forest community and situated on a protected oxbow of the Caloosahatchee River. Water carries good depth to accommodate most any vessel. There is a beautiful view across the oxbow of a protected island full of natural wildlife. The water front has a concrete seawall with composite dock and boat lift as well as a floating dock to accommodate 2 jet skis. There is also a new 1,100 SF masonry accessory building with OH garage doors and storm shutters. The landscape has been enhanced with an area of tropical gardens with paver pathways including irrigation and lv night lighting. The property is totally fenced with vinyl privacy fencing. There is an RV motorcoach parking pad with utilities. There is an existing home on the property that was flood damaged in Hurricane Ian. The home was cleaned out and drywall removed……This is an excellant oppertunity to build a new home to current FEMA standards on a completely improved 3/4 acre property with utilities in place and NO Impact fees for new construction !!
