933 strangler fig ln

This is a rare opportunity to build a custom island retreat just three parcels from the Gulf of Mexico and only a short distance from the beach in Sanibel’s sought-after Gulf Pines community. Tucked along the private and picturesque Strangler Fig Lane, this exceptional homesite offers tranquil lake views and a distinctive feature, a private accessible easement to the beach from rear of the property, shared by only a select few neighboring parcels, providing convenient and quiet access to Sanibel’s renowned shoreline. Oversized by Sanibel standards at more than one-half acre, this expansive lot provides privacy and exceptional design flexibility for a future residence. The property is in the Ecological Zone D2 Upland Wetland designation, allowing for approximately 25% impermeable coverage and 30% developed area, creating a rough building envelope of approximately 6,098 square feet under the impervious coverage ratio and 7,318 square feet under the developed area ratio (buyers to verify). This generous footprint presents a compelling opportunity to design a substantial island home that fully embraces the surrounding natural setting. Beyond its proximity to one of Sanibel’s pristine stretches of beach, residents of Gulf Pines enjoy an array of desirable community amenities, including a large community swimming pool, tennis courts and a charming clubhouse, all within a short distance of the property. Opportunities of this caliber are increasingly rare on Sanibel. With its oversized dimensions, unique rear beach easement, peaceful lake views and prime position just moments from the Gulf, this exceptional homesite offers the ideal canvas to create a remarkable tropical sanctuary where location, lifestyle and long-term value align.
