About this home
A Landmark Reimagined – Rare ½ Acre Commercial/Residential Opportunity on West Gulf Drive!

Its location is unmatched: just steps from the brand-new Shalimar Resort, a short stroll to a nearby beach access, a quick bike ride to Bit of Bailey’s Grocery and Rosalita’s Cantina in the revitalized Rabbit Road Center, within easy reach of the Sanibel Rec Center, and just across the street from the beloved shared use path. Rich in history and alive with potential, this is more than just land—it’s an invitation to contribute to Sanibel’s ongoing revitalization. Create something meaningful, build lasting value, and leave your legacy on one of Florida’s most treasured islands.
