About this home

Discover an exceptional opportunity to create a private estate in the desirable Buckingham area of Fort Myers. This approximately 8.5-acre corner property combines substantial usable acreage, mature native trees, a private pond, new estate fencing, gated entrances, and thoughtfully designed landscaping. Nearly 6 acres of centralized uplands provide a large, cohesive area for a custom residence and estate improvements. AG-2 zoning and no HOA offer flexibility for residential, agricultural and equestrian uses. Extensive professional clearing and cleanup carefully opened the property, revealing massive live oaks, towering pines and palms that had been hidden among invasive growth and dense vegetation while preserving the property’s natural character. Additional recent improvements include new three-rail estate fencing and two black gated entrances along Louella Drive with decorative solar lanterns. Coordinated landscaping has been added at both gated entrances and at the prominent corner of the property, where a newly planted Queen’s Crape Myrtle tree is expected to recover from transplanting and develop into a full, lush flowering focal point as it becomes established. Coordinated landscaping has been added at both gated entrances and at the prominent corner of the property, where a newly planted Queen’s Crape Myrtle tree is expected to recover from transplanting and develop into a full, lush flowering focal point as it becomes established. The private pond has been professionally treated, with fresh sod thoughtfully placed around the pond and new aquatic plantings of arrowhead, pickerelweed, golden canna and spike rush. As they mature, they will display flowers of white, yellow and violet-blue along the shoreline. The pond extends below the hardpan; in April 2026, during dry conditions, the water was remarkably clear with the bottom clearly visible and fish easily seen beneath the surface. Mature trees and open grassy areas around the pond provide several inviting locations for a hammock, park bench or gazebo. With approximately 486 feet of frontage and two established culverts/access points, the property offers ample space for a custom residence, pool, horses, barn, workshop and other improvements.
