About this home

Calling all boaters and island lifestyle buyers. Welcome to a true waterfront island retreat in Matlacha Isles, where no expense was spared in transforming this home into a luxury coastal oasis with fast direct boating access. From your dock, enjoy minutes to renowned Back Bay fishing, Pine Island Sound, barrier islands, sandy beaches, and premier tarpon fishing grounds in the Gulf of America. This home offers almost 2,000 SF of open living space with 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a 2 car garage. A very rare oversized lot provides exceptional outdoor space & privacy. Soaring cathedral ceilings, updated luxury vinyl plank flooring with a driftwood inspired finish, and a modern open floor plan designed for both relaxation and entertaining. The remodeled kitchen in 2022 features quartz countertops, new appliances, and is open to the living & dining areas. Large sliding glass doors frame stunning water views, while an interior dry bar just off the kitchen creates the perfect space for hosting or enjoying island time. The outdoor living area was completely reimagined in 2023 and is nothing short of spectacular. The Pebble Tech finish heated saltwater pool and spa are surrounded by luxury travertine pavers, and a full-size tiki hut with bar and complete outdoor kitchen creates the ultimate setting for entertaining. Picture parties, family gatherings, and evenings with friends, all overlooking the water, surrounded by swaying palms, birds of paradise, and lush tropical landscaping that offers beauty and complete privacy. BOATERS check out the wraparound dock with a 14,000 pound boat lift featuring a custom canopy, along with power, water, and a cleaning station. Open water access is just minutes away. The water is your playground with countless waterfront destinations to explore. This home is built for peace of mind. It remained high and dry during all storms, with a raised stem wall where water never reached the pool. Features include a designer-tile-style metal roof installed in 2019, hurricane-impact windows & doors, and motorized hurricane screens on the rear lanai. Energy-efficient home & Pentair pool pump, heater, and smart controls installed in 2023, all operable from your smartphone. Over the past 4 years, this residence has been extensively renovated, inside and out, using high-quality materials and finishes. Matlacha Isles offers a unique blend of island living and accessibility, positioned between Cape Coral and Pine Island, allowing you to enjoy the waterfront island lifestyle without heavy traffic or isolation. Groceries, shopping, dining, and entertainment are all just minutes away. Enjoy boating to Southwest Florida’s barrier islands, beaches, and waterfront dining. The upcoming Cape Coral Grove, a 131-acre mixed-use town center, will feature upscale retail, dining, hotels, public parks, and community events. Seven Islands will bring restaurants, boutique shops, marina, green spaces, and possibly even a beach area!
