About this home
Rarely does an opportunity like this emerge on Sanibel Island — two parcels sold together, totaling just over a half-acre, revealed in a natural, secluded setting with sweeping preserve views and the sights and sounds of island wildlife at your doorstep. This is the real Sanibel: unhurried, unspoiled, and entirely yours. Situated adjacent to protected preserve land, these lots offer a true nature lover’s paradise where island birds and wildlife provide daily photo opportunities from your own backyard. The lots enjoy deeded beach access and are within easy walking or biking distance to the beach, Doc Ford’s Rum Bar & Grille, and the charming shops that define island life — yet remain a private retreat from it all. Utilities are already in place and the lots are a clean, ready-to-build canvas. The current owners have a home design and plans in place that are undergoing permit review with the city of Sanibel for a 2200 sq ft., 4 bed, 3 bath elevated home and Wolter Group, a respected Southwest Florida builder with deep experience on barrier island projects is on board. Buy this now & build your own custom home - or take on the current home plan and make it yours.
