Set within the private, gated community of Kings Bay Estates on the bank of the Caloosahatchee River, this property sits on nearly half an acre of land, offering something increasingly uncommon in Southwest Florida. With just 50 home sites, the community maintains a quiet, uncrowded character that larger developments simply cannot replicate. Inside, the home offers over 2,400 square feet of living space beneath soaring vaulted ceilings, with modern tile flooring throughout. The layout begins with a formal living and dining room at entry, then flows into a well-configured kitchen with Copacabana granite countertops, a large center island, wall oven, stainless steel appliances, and a pass-through window to the lanai that keeps indoor and outdoor entertaining connected. A separate eat-in kitchen area and wet bar add practical flexibility for everyday living and hosting alike. The family room centers on a real built-in wood-burning fireplace, a genuine architectural feature that adds warmth and character to the space. The roof was replaced in December 2021, the septic tank and drain field were replaced in 2022, and the A/C unit was replaced in 2024, giving the next owner a solid foundation of recent updates. The primary suite is generously proportioned with French doors that open directly to the screened lanai, and the ensuite bath includes a tiled shower and dual vanities. Additional bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations for family or guests. The freeform pool anchors the outdoor living space, surrounded by stamped concrete and enclosed within an expansive screened lanai with western rear exposure. Afternoons here shift from full sun to shade as the day winds down, and the open sky to the west means unobstructed sunset views directly from the pool deck. The scale of the lanai itself is worth noting, as there is genuine room for both a full outdoor dining setup and lounge seating without the space feeling crowded. The property also includes a fruit-bearing mango tree on the grounds and the existing flood policy is transferable to the new owner. Kings Bay Estates carries low annual HOA dues and a gated entry. I-75 is easily accessible, connecting residents to Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, and the broader Southwest Florida area. Route 31 provides direct access to Babcock Ranch and the growing communities along that corridor. Everyday conveniences, dining, and shopping are all within a short drive.
