About this home

Welcome to 12205 Siesta Drive, the ultimate boating and fishing community located on an oversized southern exposure 1.5-lot parcel in the secure, gated enclave of Old Pelican Bay in Fort Myers Beach, the Boater & Fisherman's Paradise. With it's bonus rooms, the home offers over 2300 sq ft of living space under air. This property features one of the deepest, quickest Gulf-access canal locations in Southwest Florida with zero bridge restrictions. Fire up the engines and be in the Gulf in minutes, or head to the Keys and Bahamas. Walk down your private path and step onto your boat. Your private end-unit dock slip features a raised pedestal for dedicated electric and water, easily accommodating a deep-draft yacht up to 48 feet or a heavy-duty lift. Located on the naturally deep East canal, you will never face shallow water or expensive dredging bills. Built to support a marine lifestyle, this oversized 1.5-lot parcel offers plenty of room to add a custom pool and spa, with utility hookups in place. An enclosed, lockable storage shed comes equipped with a dedicated electrical subpanel—perfect for stashing rods, tackle, nets, and diving gear. Tough mechanical upgrades keep maintenance low, including a durable metal roof, private elevator, dual-zone AC, and a central vacuum system. Inside, find refined details including 9-foot ceilings, 3rd-floor cathedral ceilings, crown molding, plantation shutters, and gorgeous, rich maple cabinetry. Over $135k in upgrades and generous credits includes a huge $27,000 cash credit to the buyer at closing. This covers a brand-new appliance package ($6k), new flooring/carpet ($5k), and new 2nd-floor PGT hurricane windows ($16k). Combined with existing 3rd-floor impact glass and motorized storm shutters, the home is built like a fortress. Outside, beautiful Areca palms, Ficus hedges, and a custom 12V landscape lighting system create a magnificent private nighttime oasis. Spend your time on the water, not doing yard work. A weekly landscape crew handles all lawn cutting and edging. Low HOA fees ($429/month) cover your complete lawn care and the community's state-of-the-art security gate, complete with a license plate reader and contractor call-in office.

These are separate from and additional to specialty charges, mandatory club or food-and-beverage minimums, special assessments, and rec-lease fees, which the IDX feed does not carry.
