Description

Tucked away in a serene, storybook setting along the Imperial River, this rare property offers a captivating blend of timeless Old Florida charm and elegant modern living. Built in 2023 by renowned Cotter Construction of Naples, the main residence sits on .51 acres and meets current building codes and flood elevation requirements. Also sharing the grounds is a delightful riverside bungalow, perfect as a guest house, studio, or private retreat. This one-of-a-kind location offers front-row views of manatees, dolphins, sea otters, and soft-shell turtles from the new Hardie Plank dock, and it’s just a short stroll to the heart of Bonita Springs—where you'll find inviting restaurants and the laid-back ambiance of historic Florida. Featured in Gulfshore Life Magazine (November 2024), the main home showcases exceptional craftsmanship, high ceilings, and beautifully finished architectural details. A series of 9-foot French doors seamlessly connect expansive indoor living and dining spaces to a stunning “picture window” screened pool area—framing views of the lush landscape and the tranquil river beyond. At the heart of the home, a sophisticated chef’s kitchen is equipped for entertaining, designed to complement the open-concept layout while offering both functionality and style. The private primary suite includes a spacious bedroom, luxurious bath, walk-in closet, and a charming window seat overlooking native flora and fauna. Separated for privacy one will find an inviting guest bedroom with ensuite bath, cozy den and lovely powder room. A large additional space is currently used as an art studio with a half bath—could easily be converted into another guest suite with full bath. The attached two-car garage includes generous storage to meet every need. Nestled closer to the water’s edge under a canopy of trees draped in Spanish moss, the original cottage offers a quiet escape, with a living/dining area, bedroom, and full bath. This property is more than a home—it’s an experience. Offering the peaceful beauty of riverfront living with the quality and comfort of modern construction, all just moments from the charm of downtown Bonita Springs. This is truly a place to slow down, unwind, and connect with nature in style.
