GULF ACCESS — BUILD YOUR WATERFRONT HOME IN RIVER OAKS. This vacant lot sits on a quiet cul-de-sac street in a small, well-maintained Alva community where newer homes continue to go up. Approximately 80 feet of water frontage by 128 feet deep per the Lee County measuring tool, with almost immediate access to the Caloosahatchee River and Gulf access beyond. The lot sits between the Franklin and Ortona locks, a stretch of river known for its controlled water levels. From your future dock, the water goes both directions. Head west toward downtown Fort Myers, roughly 17 miles, and on to Fort Myers Beach and the Gulf at about 30 miles. The Boathouse Tiki Bar & Grill is around 10 miles by boat or car. Head east and the Okeechobee Waterway carries you to Lake Okeechobee, some 43 miles away, and all the way across the state to Stuart and the Atlantic. On land, you're close to everyday conveniences — a Publix shopping center about 7 miles out, and Rooster's Route 80 farm stand, a local favorite for produce, pies, and its monthly vendor market, under 6 miles away. RSW International is roughly 33 miles; Punta Gorda Regional about 26. Waterfront land with true Gulf access is a finite commodity. Bring your builder and your boat. *Buyer/Buyer's Agent to verify all dimensions, distances, utilities, and permitted uses with Lee County.

This 1.52 acre lot is located just north of Palm Beach Blvd or Hwy 80 east of Interstate 75. It is located on the Caloosahatchee River, in a friendly neighborhood. Your own private water front sancutary. Lots of new homes in the River Oaks Community. The following mileages are approximate as the crow flies. 17 miles east of Downtown Fort Myers, 30 miles east of Fort Myers Beach and the Gulf of Mexico, convient to shopping and restaurants - Publix Shopping Center - 7 miles, Rooster's Route 80 - a popular farm stand for fresh produce, pies, ice cream & monthly vendor market is only 5.7 miles away, The Boathouse Tiki Bar & Grill - 10 miles by boat or car, 43 miles west of Lake Okeechobee, the largest lake in Florida and the second largest lake within the interior of the US covering 730 square miles. 98 miles west of Stuart Florida, the St. Lucie River connects Lake Okeechobee to the Atlantic Ocean and exits at Stuart. This lot is between the Franklin and Ortona Waterway Locks offering superior flood control. This property did not flood the recent hurricanes per the Owner and current Tenant. This property is 33 miles from RSW International Airport and 26 miles from the Punta Gorda Regional Airport. PRIVATE YACHT BASIN: One-of-a-kind opportunity. This 1.52 Acre lot has 250’ of frontage on the Caloosahatchee River and features a Yacht Basin that was dug years ago .The basin is approximately 100’ x 40’. It would be nearly impossible to be allowed to dig a Yacht Basin like this today on a navigable water way leading to anywhere in the world. In a phone call to the county, we were told that it could be repaired/improved with the proper permits. This protective Yacht Basin is an extremely rare feature of this property offering excellent protection and ease of boarding with no vulnerable docks extending into the river. Please contact Lee County Permitting to confirm the possibilities. STRUCTURE: A home exists on this lot that is currently housing a tenant. It is possibly a fixer upper. It is a concrete block structure. VALUE: This is a one-of-a-kind property. It features a Yacht Basin that may be considered a “hurricane hole” by most insurance companies. This could lower the cost of insurance and reduce the need to move the vessel during impending storms. We recommend you check with your insurer as their rules may differ from company to company. This basin would allow a total wrap around style dock system with access to all sides of a large yacht plus dockage for multiple smaller vessels as it is around 40’ wide. Having a private yacht basin on your property may be nearly priceless.
