About this property
Discover an extraordinary opportunity to create a legacy property in one of Sanibel Island's captivating natural settings. Along the tranquil banks of Clam Bayou and encompassing nearly one acre of land, this exceptional homesite offers the ideal foundation for a custom waterfront residence designed to embrace the beauty, serenity and timeless allure of island living. Already enhanced with a cleared building site, an existing in-ground pool and a newly constructed private dock, the property is uniquely positioned to accelerate the journey from vision to reality. Here, every day begins with panoramic views across the protected waters of Clam Bayou, where mangrove islands rise from the landscape and an abundance of native wildlife creates an ever-changing natural spectacle. Beyond, glimpses of the Gulf waters complete a breathtaking backdrop that promises unforgettable sunsets and a profound connection to Sanibel's celebrated coastal environment. Located within the ecological zone Upland Wetland (D2), the property offers approximately 25% allowable impervious coverage and 30% allowable developed-area coverage. Based upon the Lee County Property Appraiser's reported lot size of 37,407 square feet, this equates to approximately 9,350 square feet of impervious area and approximately 11,222 square feet of developed area, providing remarkable flexibility for the design of a substantial custom residence and outdoor living environment. Whether your vision includes expansive terraces overlooking the bayou, walls of glass framing the surrounding natural beauty, a resort-inspired poolside retreat, guest accommodations or dedicated spaces for entertaining, this generous homesite presents a rare opportunity to design without compromise. New construction also offers the confidence and peace of mind that comes with modern engineering standards and the latest building codes, allowing you to create a home that is both beautiful and resilient. From your private dock, launch a paddleboard, kayak or small boat and explore the winding waterways that make Sanibel one of Florida's most treasured island destinations. Spend your mornings gliding through quiet mangrove tunnels, your afternoons observing dolphins, manatees and shorebirds and your evenings enjoying the spectacular colors of the Gulf sky reflected across the bayou's calm waters. Opportunities of this caliber are increasingly rare: a nearly one-acre waterfront homesite, thoughtfully prepared for development and surrounded by protected natural beauty. Here, the setting is inspiring, the possibilities are extraordinary and the lifestyle is unmistakably Sanibel.
