About this home

Old Florida charm meets waterfront living in the heart of Matlacha Isles. Situated on a rare double buildable lot with wide intersecting canal views and direct Gulf access, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath home offers the perfect blend of boating lifestyle, privacy, and future potential. Inside, you’ll find an open-concept layout with beautiful Mexican tile throughout, a spacious kitchen with oversized breakfast bar, generous bedroom sizes, and a newer roof already in place. The western rear exposure delivers stunning sunset skies, while the oversized pergola and shaded patio create the ideal space to relax, entertain, or enjoy the breeze off the water. Mature trees and tropical landscaping give the property a peaceful, tucked-away feel that’s hard to find. Complete with a 2-car garage, dock space, and room to expand or build new on the additional lot, this property is ideal as a full-time residence, seasonal retreat, or future waterfront investment. Just minutes from the fishing, restaurants, art galleries, and island charm that make Matlacha one of Southwest Florida’s most loved waterfront communities.
