About this home

Exceptional waterfront opportunity in the heart of St. James City! This canal-front homesite offers the perfect setting to build your custom island retreat among an area of beautiful upscale waterfront homes. This property previously featured a home that was impacted by Hurricane Ian and has since been removed, with fill dirt added, creating a blank canvas for your new elevated waterfront residence. A major advantage for buyers to possibly save thousands on impact fees thanks to the prior homesite, making your new construction even more affordable. The waterfront improvements are already in place, including a new 75-foot cement seawall installed in 2022, a private boat dock with captain's walk, a metal-roofed boat cover, and a hybrid 7,000# boat lift—providing an outstanding foundation for your future waterfront home. Boaters will love the quick direct Gulf access, allowing you to reach Pine Island Sound, Sanibel, Captiva, North Captiva, Cayo Costa, Boca Grande, waterfront restaurants, pristine beaches, and some of Southwest Florida's best fishing in minutes. Whether you're heading out for a day on the water, island hopping, shelling, dining by boat, or chasing trophy fish, this location puts it all within easy reach. Enjoy stunning sunsets, tropical surroundings, and the relaxed charm of St. James City. Best of all, you're just minutes from local restaurants, bars, marinas, and entertainment by golf cart, embracing the true island lifestyle that residents love. With no HOA fees and no deed restrictions, you'll enjoy the freedom and flexibility to create the waterfront lifestyle you've always wanted.
