Experience a rare dual-waterfront estate offering protected deep-water Gulf access in the front and a private backwater paddle sanctuary in the rear. Perfectly positioned just over the bridge from Fort Myers Beach island, this elevated coastal residence offers quick access to shopping, dining, RSW International Airport, and downtown Fort Myers while remaining tucked inside one of the area’s most desirable boating neighborhoods. Offered turnkey furnished with brand-new coastal décor, the home opens to expansive south-facing water views through impact-resistant sliding glass doors.

From here, cruise north to Captiva, Cayo Costa, and Boca Grande, or head south to Naples, Marco Island, and the Ten Thousand Islands. The rear of the property reveals a tranquil contrast. A private kayak and paddleboard launch opens to quiet tidal canals and the Great Calusa Blueway, offering over 150 miles of scenic mangrove trails and just 20 minute paddle to Bunche Beach.
