About this home
1+ ACRE | AG-2 | POOL HOME | NO HOA | FLOOD ZONE X. Back on market-buyer attempted renegotiation despite supporting appraisal and seller declined. Set on approximately 1.10 acres in unincorporated North Fort Myers, this private, tree-canopied property offers a rare opportunity to own usable acreage just minutes from I-75. Surrounded by newer development yet distinctly peaceful, the land is the true highlight — providing space, privacy, and long-term flexibility in a rapidly growing area. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers 1,816 sq ft under air with vaulted ceilings, tile throughout, updated kitchen counters, and a functional layout ready for your personal updates. A detached garage, long driveway, and fully fenced lot provide room for RVs, boats, pets, recreational vehicles, or small agricultural use under AG-2 zoning — all with NO HOA restrictions. Towering pines, palms, and flowering varieties create exceptional privacy, shade, and year-round color. The beautifully landscaped yard was designed and maintained by a golf-course superintendent and features full irrigation and mature tropical fruit trees (including exceptional mango, avocado, and citrus varieties). Decades of thoughtful planting have created a layered, Old Florida setting that would be nearly impossible to replicate today. A large screened lanai sits along the side of the home, while the backyard features an open patio area and a fully functional fiberglass pool positioned comfortably within the expansive lot. Located in Flood Zone X, this property has never flooded and has performed well through major storms since it was built. The home is priced to reflect needed updates and offers a rare opportunity to customize while securing acreage, privacy, and location.
