About this home
BREATHTAKING VIEWS OF CLAM BAYOU! This waterfront near beach custom home on the west end of Sanibel has incredible views, exceptional privacy, and provides an opportunity to enjoy the true majesty of the island. From your private dock, Sanibel's spectacular uncrowded gorgeous beaches are accessible by water. Kayaking in the Bayou is an amazing way to experience this unique setting, immersed in the untouched splendor of the island. Blind Pass Beach and Bowman's Beach are also easily accessed via the bike path. The screened two lane lap pool offers another way to enjoy the water while the expansive screened lanai extends the living space, taking full advantage of this fabulous location. With an architectural style that fully respects this natural setting, concrete, wood, stucco and metal come together to create a resilient work of art. Large rooms, high ceilings, transom windows, wood and tile flooring, and abundant storage make the spaces inviting and hugely functional. Two enclosed garages and an elevator offer convenience while the ground level open air foyer welcomes guests with a one of a kind shell fountain. Inspired by the natural environment that surrounds it, this home is perfectly Sanibel.
