Boat to the Gulf from your own backyard, just 5.3 nautical miles from your dock to ocean water. This southern-facing canal home in Estero Bay Shores sits on a wide 81–120 ft canal with no bridges and a direct, unobstructed run to open water. It has a private concrete dock and boat lift with water and power at the dock, and a solar-heated in-ground pool. The home was completely rebuilt after Hurricane Ian, permitted with the City of Bonita Springs, and passed every final inspection: building, electrical, plumbing and mechanical. Updates include new drywall and insulation floor to ceiling, luxury vinyl plank flooring, new kitchen cabinets, countertops and dishwasher, new bath vanities, new interior doors, baseboards and trim, fresh paint, a tankless water heater, a new A/C condenser, an impact-rated entry door, new windows and a new garage door. The roof was replaced in 2020 (permitted and finaled). Outside, the pool cage has been completely rescreened, with new pavers front and back and a new pool deck (completion December 2026). Inside, the split-bedroom plan has 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, including a 2008 master suite addition. There's also a 336 sq ft enclosed Florida room, a screened lanai and a 2-car garage. The oversized 0.33-acre lot sits on a quiet cul-de-sac and has a mature mango tree and other fruit trees. There's no HOA and no CDD, so you can bring the boat, the trailer and the toys. It's minutes from the new Saltleaf development, with its renowned golf course, marina, The Ritz-Carlton Residences luxury high-rise towers and Acqua Bistecca (from Michelin-starred chef Michael Mina). The Hyatt Regency and Coconut Point shopping and dining are close by, with quick access to I-75, RSW airport and the Bonita and Fort Myers beaches. Live in it, rent it, or both: a turnkey, permitted waterfront home with no association rules makes a strong vacation-rental option, with projected short-term rental income of about $68,500 a year (estimate only; buyer to verify).
