About this home
Located in the prestigious gated community of The Forest Country Club in South Fort Myers, this exceptional 4-bedroom, 3-bath residence combines luxury, comfort, and modern design at every turn. A thoughtfully crafted open-concept floor plan creates seamless flow between the main living spaces, while the main-level primary suite offers comfort, privacy, and convenience. From the backyard, enjoy sweeping views of the par-4 6th hole of The Bear Course—one of two championship courses undergoing an impressive $10M renovation, debuting December 2025 with no homeowner assessment. This home provides a rare front-row seat to both the natural beauty and world-class golf that define The Forest. Extensive updates ensure peace of mind: a 2023 roof, a new pool cage and equipment, impact windows and storm shutters, a newer washer, dryer, and water heater, and high elevation with no previous water intrusion inside the home (only garage water during Hurricane Ian). A transferable flood insurance policy adds another layer of security for the future owner. Step outside to your private outdoor oasis—perfect for sunbathing, dining al fresco, or entertaining—set against a dramatic panoramic fairway backdrop. Upstairs guest quarters provide ideal separation for visitors, making the home equally suited for hosting or everyday living. Residents of The Forest enjoy low HOA fees that include fiber-optic internet, TV, and security, with club membership remaining completely optional. For those who wish to join, non-bundled memberships are available with no waitlist, granting access to 36 holes of championship golf, a premier practice facility, a new fitness center, a renovated clubhouse, tennis, pickleball, a tiki bar, and an active, friendly social scene. All of this comes together in an unbeatable South Fort Myers location—just minutes from beaches, shopping, dining, and RSW Airport. This is luxury living, elevated golf lifestyle, and everyday convenience in one outstanding home. SOME AMENITIES LISTED REQUIRE A CLUB MEMBERSHIP.
