About this home

Situated on nearly one acre (0.91 acres) in one of Southwest Floridas most coveted waterfront communities, the property enjoys a truly exceptional setting within a quiet oxbow of the Caloosahatchee River. The unique location provides calm, protected waters, remarkably little boat traffic, and uninterrupted views of a lush, tree covered island that creates a sense of privacy and natural beauty seldom found along Floridas waterways. A private 47 foot dock extends into the river, offering immediate access to boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing, or simply providing the perfect place to relax with a morning coffee while watching eagles, ospreys, herons, and other native wildlife that frequent the shoreline. Located within the prestigious River Wind Cove community on scenic North River Drive, this exceptional property is surrounded by magnificent mature oak trees, expansive homesites, and architecturally distinctive custom residences. The neighborhood is known for its quiet elegance, natural beauty, and welcoming atmosphere, making it one of the areas most desirable places to call home. While the setting feels like a private waterfront sanctuary, everyday conveniences are only minutes away. Within approximately 15 minutes you will find Publix, shopping, medical facilities, and an excellent selection of restaurants, including a favorite waterfront Tiki restaurant where you can arrive by car or by boat. Downtown Fort Myers is less than 30 minutes away, and a major highway providing convenient access throughout Florida is only 15 minutes from the property. Properties that combine this level of privacy, natural beauty, navigable waterfront, and convenient location are becoming increasingly rare. Whether you envision peaceful mornings on the dock, afternoons exploring Southwest Florida's waterways, or evenings entertaining family and friends beneath towering oak trees, this remarkable riverfront estate offers an exceptional opportunity to embrace the finest in Florida waterfront living. This is more than a location for your home, it is a place to slow down, reconnect with nature, and enjoy a lifestyle that many dream about but few ever experience. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
