Virtually Staged. The boating lifestyle you've dreamed of, with a luxury home you never imagined! Welcome to Catalpa Cove, an exclusive gated enclave of distinctive custom homes where exceptional boating meets refined living. Your DEEDED FOR USE BOAT SLIP (#18) awaits on a deep-water channel offering quick, direct Gulf access just minutes from Sanibel Island! Complete with a 10,000-lb lift accommodating up to a 28' boat, water, electric, fish-cleaning station & storage, your gateway to paradise is ready when you are. But here's the luxury few waterfront homes can offer: PRIVACY! Enjoy the best of both worlds—unrestricted boating adventures by day and peaceful evenings in your secluded backyard oasis, without passing boats, dockside noise, fuel odors or curious onlookers. This is coastal living, beautifully reimagined! Beyond the pavered circular drive and elegant glass entry, discover a meticulously maintained custom residence where craftsmanship and thoughtful updates shine. Grand, open living spaces feature diagonal porcelain tile, tray ceilings, plantation shutters, graceful archways, built-ins and expansive sliders blending indoor and outdoor living. The spectacular kitchen is an entertainer's dream, showcasing custom glazed birch cabinetry with pullouts, gorgeous granite, an oversized gathering island, Wolf oven, induction cooktop and Sub-Zero refrigerator. Retreat to the luxurious primary suite with bamboo flooring, custom walk-in closet, soaking tub and separate shower. Two additional bedrooms offer convenient ensuite and pool-bath access. Above the garage, a climate-controlled BONUS ROOM with half bath provides endless possibilities—fitness studio, game room, private retreat or creative space. Even the laundry room impresses with built-in cabinetry, storage and desk! Outside, your PRIVATE RESORT awaits! An expansive pavered lanai offers multiple entertaining spaces, a heated pool with sun shelf, fountain and 7' deep end, outdoor kitchen, shower, fenced yard, lush privacy palms and orange trees. No waterfront traffic, no audience—just tranquility. Exceptional upgrades include a 2023 TILE ROOF, 2024 IMPACT WINDOWS, whole-house GENERATOR with 500-gallon propane tank, hurricane shutters, whole-house water filtration, private irrigation well and an AIR-CONDITIONED GARAGE with epoxy floors and room for 2 cars, a golf cart and more!

In a neighborhood where no two homes are alike, opportunities like this are exceptionally rare. Why choose between extraordinary boating and extraordinary privacy when you can have BOTH?
