Experience the ultimate Florida island lifestyle in this beautifully maintained Bokeelia retreat, where luxury meets unmatched structural resilience. This three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom pool home is nestled on a private lot that backs into a serene nature preserve, creek, and a sprawling 20-acre mango farm. Designed for peace of mind, the home sustained zero structural damage during Hurricane Ian and features a ultra ribbed metal roof installed in 2023 with a 50-year warranty. This commitment to quality extends to the mechanical systems, which include a PEX plumbing manifold with individual shut-offs for every appliance, a whole-house water filtration system, tinted windows that keep energy costs low, and with transferable flood insurance at just $1,500 per year, this property offers peace of mind in a spectacular setting.
The interior is defined by soaring 14-foot cathedral ceilings and an open-concept split floor plan that is flooded with natural light. At the heart of the home, the large open plan kitchen offers granite countertops, a massive walk-in pantry, and a sunlit breakfast nook overlooking the pool and tropical backyard. The primary suite serves as a private sanctuary with dual walk-in closets, direct pool access and a large bathroom that features an inviting spacious window seat that is perfectly positioned to be converted into a garden-style soaking tub. For those who enjoy hosting, a pocket door creates a completely private guest suite on the opposite side of the home, ensuring seclusion for all. Throughout the main living areas, you will find durable tile flooring, with luxury vinyl plank in two of the bedrooms.
Outdoor living is prioritized with a seamless transition from the living area to the screened lanai via pocketing sliding glass doors. The sparkling pool, resurfaced in 2014, is accompanied by a dedicated storage closet and a convenient half-bath. The grounds are a tropical oasis, featuring mature landscaping, fruit trees, a tall guava hedge, and low-maintenance stone flower beds. A large front paver patio offers the perfect spot for morning coffee. Beyond the property line, the views of the mangroves and the quiet nature preserve create an atmosphere of total seclusion.
Located in the tranquil community of Bokeelia, this home is located in the Gordon Lewis-designed Alden Pines golf course community, just minutes from the historic Tarpon Lodge and world-class local marinas. While the golf course is temporarily closed, it provides a spectacular, park-like setting for nature walks where eagles and ospreys are a common sight. This home offers the flexibility of a voluntary HOA and is sold with some furniture negotiable, making it a turnkey opportunity for a permanent residence or a high-potential vacation rental. From the injectable wall pest control to the oversized garage with a utility sink, every detail has been considered to create a home that is both a fortress and a private island paradise.
