Overview

Discover this ultimate coastal sanctuary, a stunning stilt home nestled on 1.14 lush acres in the heart of Sanibel Island, FL. Just a short stroll to pristine beaches, this three-bedroom, three-bathroom elevated home offers a unique blend of island charm, luxury, and eco-friendly design—perfect for those looking to truly embrace the Salt Life.

Built in 1985, this stilt home was designed to withstand coastal conditions while enhancing ventilation, reducing humidity, and preserving the island’s breathtaking natural environment. The open-concept living space boasts expansive volume ceilings, while the windows let in the natural light and create an airy, welcoming ambiance.

The split-bedroom floor plan ensures privacy, with a primary suite featuring an upgraded bath and a guest suite with a private en-suite bathroom. The third bedroom shares the guest bath, offering versatility for family, guests, or a home office. A true architectural gem, this home showcases a rare Keystone gas fireplace, crafted from 125,000-year-old fossilized coral limestone—a historical and luxurious centerpiece.

Step outside to your tropical paradise, where an elevated sun deck provides breathtaking views of the free-form pool—the undeniable star of the property. This space also doubles as an outdoor grilling area, perfect for entertaining. The expansive 510 sq. ft. screened lanai is ideal for soaking in the gentle Gulf breezes while enjoying lush landscaping and oversized rock boulders that add to the home’s luxurious tropical feel.

A private elevator conveniently takes you from the lower garage to the upper level, though it is currently in need of some TLC. The lower level offers exciting expansion potential, featuring a two-car garage plus space for a large communal room, wet bar, and bathroom plumbing, making it a perfect game room or entertainment space.

For those seeking even more space and privacy, the adjacent 1.42-acre property at 3004 Turtle Gait Lane is also available, allowing for the rare opportunity to own over 2.5 acres of island paradise!

Sanibel Island is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, offering world-famous shelling on Bowman’s Beach, over 50 miles of scenic biking trails, and premier fishing and boating opportunities where you can catch redfish, tarpon, and snook. Nature lovers can explore J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge, a renowned destination for birdwatching and wildlife observation. The island also offers top-tier golf and tennis facilities, providing the perfect blend of recreation and relaxation.

Whether you’re seeking a private island retreat, or a dream forever home, this property offers an unparalleled lifestyle in one of Florida’s most desirable coastal destinations.
