About this home
If you’ve been craving space, privacy, and a slower pace of life without giving up convenience this is exactly what you’ve been waiting for. Tucked just outside of Fort Myers, this property sits on over an acre down a private road, offering that peaceful, country-style setting while still being just minutes to shopping, dining, schools, and everything you need.As you arrive, you’ll immediately feel the difference. The home is perfectly positioned in the middle of the property, giving you space on all sides and a sense of privacy that’s hard to find. With no HOA, you have the freedom to truly make this property your own, whether that means adding a shop, bringing your toys, or simply enjoying wide-open space. This is a home where the big projects are already complete. Major systems have been thoughtfully updated, including HVAC (2026), impact windows, roof (2025) and gutters, and a whole-home re-pipe giving you confidence and peace of mind from day one. Even better, the property has never flooded. Inside, the home offers a bright, thoughtfully designed layout with well-defined living spaces that still flow comfortably from one area to the next. The main living area connects naturally to the updated kitchen and family room, creating a warm and inviting environment for both everyday living and entertaining. French doors provide the option to separate spaces when desired, while the split-bedroom floorplan offers privacy, generous room sizes, and functional storage throughout. Step outside and you’ll start to really appreciate what this property offers. Off the family room is a beautifully upgraded in-ground pool with spa, where you'll want to spend your evenings with a glass of wine or al-fresco dining. The expansive yard gives you room to breathe & space for kids, pets, future additions, or simply enjoying the quiet and privacy of your own land. Whether it’s morning coffee under the gazebo or evenings under the stars, this is what Southwest Florida living is all about. Additional upgrades like paid-off solar panels, reverse osmosis water system, updated pool equipment, custom closets, and high-speed internet already in place make everyday living even easier. This isn’t just a home, it’s a lifestyle. A place where you can spread out, slow down, and still be just minutes from the heart of Fort Myers.
