You will fall in love with this peaceful waterfront retreat! This wonderful property is located in Alva, a growing city between Fort Myers and LaBelle with new developments going in all around Highway 80. The one of a kind home, tucked away at the end of a long, tree shaded driveway, sits on a peninsula on the Caloosahatchee River, and is three-quarters surrounded by water. It is the perfect retreat from hectic city life, with beautiful water views and no neighbors on either side. A designated wetlands preserve is on one side of the home and a nursery/landscape company owns the land on the other side, so it is very private and tranquil. Wildlife abounds, and you are likely to spot manatees, otters, osprey, and hawks. The home is nestled on a gorgeous lot, more than 1.3 acres in size, with numerous coconut palms, bananas, mangos, and citrus trees, including grapefruit, lemon, and lime. You will enjoy 600 feet of water frontage, plus a 25-foot wide dock with a 20000-pound boatlift. You can sit on the front porch swing and watch boats go by on the Caloosahatchee River. This fresh water river is the Intercoastal Waterway, providing access to the Gulf of Mexico to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. Only one lock is between this property and the Gulf, while four locks and Lake Okeechobee lie between the property and the Atlantic, and there is well over 100 miles of waterway, just waiting for you to explore! This desirable 2-story home features wood frame construction with freshly painted exterior and a 2-car garage. The metal roof has a barrel tile look and a 50-year warranty. The home offers 1680 square feet of air-conditioned living space, with a split floor plan layout, and three bedrooms, two and a half baths. It opens to a foyer with wood laminate floors.
A closet is located in the entry area. New wood laminate flooring extends down the hall to the kitchen, dining room, laundry, and half bath. The two-story family and dining rooms boast extended-mount ceiling fans and a large picture window with electric roll-down shutters. All of the other windows and sliders in the home have hand crank roll-down shutters. The family room includes new carpeting. Sliders from the dining area open to a large covered porch with a gorgeous view! The open kitchen features handmade solid cherry cabinets with brushed nickel hardware and pullout drawers. Tiled countertops, breakfast bar, and backsplash include accent tile edging and an accent feature behind the stove. A storage closet located under the stairs off the kitchen serves as a pantry. Appliances include propane stove, water softener, and stainless built-in microwave, refrigerator, and dishwasher. The laundry room is equipped with a washer and gas dryer. The master suite offers a pocket door walk-in closet, carpet, and ceiling fan. Private bath includes a double vanity, glass enclosed shower, and wood laminate floor. Upstairs, a loft with a wood railing overlooks the family and dining rooms. Sliders open to a balcony with great water views. The two guest rooms offer carpet, ceiling fan, and walk-in closet with pocket sliders. Guest bath has wood laminate floors, single vanity, and tub/shower combo. The home has a 150-foot deep artesian well, gas heat, and wiring and plug-in for a generator. The 2-car garage has a small, attached garden shed on one side. The separate 24 by 24 workshop includes electric power. This unique home offers an exquisite country setting, but grocery stores, banks, schools, other city conveniences are five minutes away, and I-75 is only 10 miles away. Call!
