About this home
One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged, AI generated or rendered. Set along the bayfront of San Carlos Island, 948 San Carlos Boulevard presents an exceptional opportunity to create a custom waterfront estate on a remarkably spacious homesite. Encompassing approximately 20,830 square feet, with 100 feet of direct bay frontage and a depth of roughly 215 feet, the property offers an impressive sense of scale, privacy, and design flexibility. Western exposure provides a front-row seat to spectacular Southwest Florida sunsets, while the adjacent deep-water canal offers quick access to the Gulf of Mexico. A newer dock is already in place and designed to accommodate two boat lifts, creating immediate boating access while plans for a future residence take shape. The generous dimensions of the property allow for expansive indoor-outdoor living, substantial outdoor entertaining areas, resort-style amenities, and a residence designed to fully embrace the surrounding water views. San Carlos Island continues to evolve as an increasingly desirable waterfront destination, offering close proximity to Fort Myers Beach while maintaining convenient access on and off the island. Waterfront dining, the beaches of Fort Myers Beach, Margaritaville Resort, and local entertainment are all just minutes away, with easy connections to Sanibel, Captiva, Bonita Springs, Naples, and Southwest Florida International Airport. With no rental restrictions, the property also offers flexibility for those considering a luxury vacation residence or investment opportunity. Combining a rare half-acre setting, expansive bay frontage, deep-water Gulf access, western exposure, and an outstanding location, 948 San Carlos Boulevard is an exceptional canvas for a distinctive Southwest Florida waterfront home.
