1771 Coral Way, YACHT CLUB COLONYNorth Fort Myers, FL 33917Price: $1,000,000

Nearly $500,000 invested to build a true boater's and angler's paradise - and as you explore the property inside and out, you'll see where it went. This is waterfront Southwest Florida living done right. Start with the privacy: no neighbors to your east or north, and the open river just a quarter-mile away. Over 200 feet of bulkhead in great shape frames private walkways with two boat lifts (16,000 and 7,000 lbs), engineered dock planks, a twin Wave Runner floating dock, and a kayak pad. There's a Tiki hut for entertaining, a large pool with both sun and shade, a dozen varieties of fruit trees, and even RV hookups. By water, you're minutes from dolphins, manatees, and the waterfront restaurants of Fort Myers, Sanibel, and Fort Myers Beach. Inside, the home has been transformed. The four-bedroom, three-bath layout lives large with wood-look tile throughout and an enormous kitchen wrapped in quartz counters, and the extra rooms flex easily into an office or exercise space. A fully separate casita with its own entrance rounds it out - ideal as an in-law suite or an income-generating short-term rental. And the big-ticket items aren't just handled - they're exceptional. The owner has updated the HVAC, windows and sliders, water heater, roof (5 years), kitchen appliances, washer and dryer, LED lighting, plantation shutters, pool equipment, and no-see-um cage screening - plus a whole-house propane 24KW generator and a complete flood barrier panel system engineered to protect the home from up to four feet of rising water. This is a home built to be lived in and enjoyed without a worry. A voluntary $250/year HOA adds access to a private riverfront park and an active community calendar. On land you're minutes from I-75, shopping, and dining, with the airport about 30 minutes away. Come see it, and you'll want to make it your base in Southwest Florida.
