Property Description
Nestled on a private half-acre, just moments from the beach, this stunning island retreat offers a rare blend of serenity and natural beauty. From the moment you enter this elevated home, your eyes are drawn through the spacious great room to the expansive deck, lush greenery, and peaceful sanctuary beyond. A true birdwatcher’s paradise, this property attracts daily visits from eagles, ospreys, songbirds, and wading birds. The tranquil waters behind the home serve as a vital nursery for young snook and tarpon, adding to the enchanting wildlife experience. Designed for effortless island living, the open and inviting floor plan features soaring vaulted ceilings, abundant storage, and a well-appointed kitchen with a large dining area. The great room, centered around a cozy wood-burning fireplace, seamlessly flows onto the deck through pocketing sliding doors, creating the perfect indoor-outdoor living space. The primary suite, privately situated on the west side, boasts large sliding glass doors that open onto the lanai, a spacious walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath with a soaking tub, sizable shower. Two guest rooms on the east side offer comfort and convenience, with easy access to a well-appointed bath. Rain or shine, an interior staircase provides sheltered access to the lower level, where a fantastic workshop and storage space await. Outside, the beautiful pool invites you to relax and soak in the peaceful surroundings. With easy beach access just a 10-minute walk or quick bike ride down Bowman’s Road, this quintessential Sanibel Island home is also conveniently close to Bowman’s Beach, Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge, and Blind Pass. Every morning and evening, watch ibis and herons grace the skies as they come and go from the rookery behind the property. Offered fully furnished, this is a rare opportunity to own a true island sanctuary—where nature, comfort, and coastal charm come together seamlessly.
