luxury real estate for sale Sanibel, United States

A once-in-a-generation Gulf-front redevelopment opportunity on Sanibel Island. Offering approximately 2.54 acres and an extraordinary 300 feet of beach frontage along the Gulf of Mexico, this former six-unit Clamshell condominium site presents a combination of scale, location and development potential rarely available on the island, especially at this price point. Due diligence has begun toward the potential replat of the property into four single-family residential lots, creating the opportunity for four individual Gulf-front homesites while retaining Resort Housing zoning and its associated rental flexibility. Subject to applicable approvals, a buyer pursuing a major subdivision and replat could create a beachfront enclave tailored to their vision such as develop all four homesites for construction or resale, retain one or more parcels for a private residence while selling the remaining lots to help offset acquisition and development costs, or explore other redevelopment possibilities afforded by this exceptional site. Within Sanibel's Resort Housing District, the property offers important flexibility for future redevelopment, including nightly rental opportunities, relief from certain Angle of Light restrictions applicable to single-family residential development and the ability to build three stories above required flood elevation, subject to applicable approvals and regulations. These provisions, combined with the property's substantial Gulf frontage and acreage, create a compelling foundation for an extraordinary new beachfront community. The property was formerly home to the Clamshell condominium complex, consisting of six townhome-style condominium residences within three buildings that were demolished following Hurricane Ian. For purposes of Sanibel's Buildback Ordinance, the pre-storm development consisted of three three-bedroom and three two-bedroom units, a swimming pool and private beach boardwalk. Zoned Resort Housing, the property includes D-1 (Lowlands Wetland Zone), E-2 (Gulf Beach Ridge) and A (Gulf Beach Zone) designations. Numerous redevelopment possibilities exist, with future residences positioned to capitalize on exceptional beach frontage, Gulf views and direct access to one of Sanibel's greatest natural assets. Centrally between Sanddollar and Signal Inn, the site offers convenient access to an 18-hole golf course, restaurants, shopping, resorts and Sanibel's scenic shared-use path system. Opportunities of this magnitude are exceedingly difficult to replicate with approximately 2.5 acres, 300 feet of Gulf frontage, Resort Housing flexibility and the potential to create four individual Gulf-front homesites or an entirely new beachfront community. An exceptional opportunity to shape a significant piece of Sanibel's next chapter.

PRICED $21,500 BELOW what owners paid for the home 21 years ago AND priced below replacement cost! What makes one waterfront home more desirable than another? Sometimes it isn't square footage or trendy features. It's how it was built. It's how it lives. It's what surrounds it. This home checks all three boxes. Originally designed by a Scottish architect whose career included designing hurricane-resistant buildings in Jamaica, every major decision was made with longevity in mind rather than minimum code requirements, incorporating engineering and structural features that exceeded the standards of its day. A concrete first level, interior concrete structural walls, hip roof construction with double hurricane straps, and numerous storm protection upgrades quietly reflect a philosophy that valued resilience long before it became a priority for coastal buyers. Equally uncommon is the floor plan. Unlike many island homes designed primarily for vacations, this residence functions as a true home. Spacious rooms, practical storage, dedicated office space, built-in cabinetry, and comfortable living areas make everyday life easy without sacrificing warmth or character. Then there's the view. Clam Bayou isn't simply waterfront, it is protected waterfront. Looking across mangroves instead of rooftops creates a level of privacy that's becoming increasingly difficult to find. The changing tides, spectacular sunsets, and daily parade of shorebirds provide scenery that no architect could ever design.Outside your door, Herons Landing offers a lifestyle that few communities can match: gated privacy, deeded beach access, a community dock and kayak launch, fishing pier, tennis courts, and pool. And perhaps the biggest surprise? The owners are asking approximately what they paid for the home more than two decades ago. In today's market, that's almost unheard of.

There are beachfront properties, and then there are opportunities that exist in a category all their own. On the first floor within the exclusive Cottage Colony West at the iconic Casa Ybel Resort, 2255 W Gulf Drive #127 offers an extraordinary chance to own a piece of Sanibel Island's desired Gulf-front coastline, where breathtaking sunsets, panoramic water views and resort-style amenities create the ultimate island retreat. Along 23 acres of pristine beachfront, this beautifully updated turnkey residence captures the essence of luxury coastal living. Expansive impact-rated windows and sliding glass doors fill the home with natural light while framing stunning Gulf of Mexico views. The open-concept floor plan blends comfort and sophistication, with spacious living and dining areas flowing seamlessly to a private screened lanai, an idyllic setting for morning coffee, evening cocktails, or simply enjoying the sights and sounds of the shoreline. The renovated kitchen showcases white shaker cabinetry, quartz-style countertops, stainless steel appliances, designer shelving, and coastal-inspired finishes that ideally complement the island setting. The spacious bedroom retreat offers warm wood-style flooring, plantation shutters and a serene atmosphere designed for relaxation, while the updated bath features contemporary finishes and polished fixtures. As a first-floor residence, the unit enjoys quick access, abundant natural light and front-row Gulf views. Just outside your door, Casa Ybel Resort offers direct access to one of Sanibel's celebrated stretches of sugar-white sand beach, along with a beachfront pool, tennis and pickleball courts, on-site dining, scenic biking and jogging paths, and lush tropical grounds. This property also presents an exceptional investment opportunity through Casa Ybel's professionally managed on-site rental program. The combination of direct beachfront location, resort amenities, strong vacation rental demand, and Sanibel Island's enduring desirability creates a rare opportunity for personal enjoyment and income potential. Whether you're searching for a luxury beachfront escape, a potential income-producing vacation property or your Gulf-front sanctuary, this exceptional residence delivers the best of Sanibel Island living.

Golf. Beach. New construction. This newly completed 2026 residence in Sanibel's Beachview community brings together three qualities rarely found in one island home: long views down the 14th fairway of Sanibel Island Golf Club, deeded Gulf beach access and substantial concrete construction designed with Florida living in mind. The home's eastern exposure looks down the manicured fairway, creating a long, open backdrop for both the interior and outdoor living spaces. Inside, 12-foot ceilings and solid white oak plank flooring establish a clean, sophisticated aesthetic, while pocketing disappearing sliders open the great room completely to the outdoor living spaces, seamlessly connecting the two. Completed to modern construction standards, the residence incorporates Insulated Concrete Form construction along with extensive concrete components, including concrete construction through the main living level and subfloor and concrete front and rear lanais. ICF construction combines a reinforced concrete core with continuous insulation, creating a building envelope valued for structural resilience, energy efficiency, reduced outside-noise transmission and improved control of heat and humid-air infiltration, advantages particularly relevant to Southwest Florida. A metal roof and a whole-house 24-kilowatt propane generator with 1,000-gallon propane capacity further enhance the home's infrastructure and preparedness. The main living level is designed for everyday comfort and entertaining. The kitchen features quartz countertops and a 40-inch gas range with six burners, griddle and two ovens, complemented by commercial refrigeration towers, a pantry and a beverage cooler. A separate office offers flexibility for potential use as a fourth bedroom. Privately positioned upstairs, the primary suite creates a retreat apart from the main living areas with vaulted ceilings, two walk-in closets, dual vanities, a soaking tub, a walk-in rain shower and electric window shades. Outdoor living is equally well considered. The pool and spa are surrounded by covered and uncovered gathering areas, while a reinforced pool enclosure with large panoramic panels preserves the expansive fairway outlook. An outdoor kitchen with a wet bar, beverage cooler and Coyote grill creates a complete setting for entertaining. Two single-width garages extend to double depth, offering exceptional storage and potential capacity for up to four vehicles. Beachview adds another dimension to the lifestyle. Sanibel Island Golf Club, its restaurant and pro shop are conveniently near the community entrance, with affordable memberships and daily rates providing the flexibility to play as frequently or casually as desired. When the beach calls, residents enjoy deeded Beachview beach access with parking for bicycles, golf carts and cars. The community also offers easy access to the Sanibel Causeway, the island's extensive bicycle network and nearby resorts for dining or recreation.

ALL OFFERS SHOULD BE SUBMITTED USING FAR/BAR AS-IS CONTRACT AND INCLUDE SHORT SALE RIDER G. Welcome to 1377 Sandcastle Road, a fully renovated waterfront home in The Dunes Golf & Tennis Club—one of Sanibel Island's most prestigious lifestyle communities. This four-bedroom, three-bath coastal residence blends timeless elegance with modern design, offering a rare opportunity for refined island living. Completed in December 2024, the renovation transformed this 1,714-square-foot property into a high-end, move-in-ready home with over $230,000 in upgrades. Every surface was reimagined—from the custom cabinetry and quartz countertops to the luxury vinyl plank flooring, designer tilework, and impact-rated windows and doors. A standout feature is the enclosed lanai, which expanded the air-conditioned space and allowed for a larger primary suite with a sitting area, workstation, and full spa-style bath. The open-concept living area features a modern kitchen with an oversized island, high ceilings, and water views that flood the space with natural light. Step outside to your private pool, framed by lush tropical landscaping, new irrigation technology, and a backyard oasis perfect for entertaining. Every system—including HVAC, plumbing, and electrical—was replaced or upgraded for efficiency and peace of mind. Every room is styled for comfort, elegance, and lasting quality. Located in The Dunes, residents enjoy pay-to-play and private membership options for club access offering 18-holes of golf, driving range, tennis, pickleball, pool, and dining, with Sanibel's beaches, shops, and trails just a short ride away. 1377 Sandcastle Road represents the best of Sanibel Island—luxury, location, and lifestyle, all wrapped in a beautifully renovated waterfront home that's ready for you today.

Only two residences from the Gulf, Pointe Santo A2, pairs the ease of a ground-floor walkout with beautiful Gulf views and front-row perspective over the community's lush tropical grounds and signature courtyard lagoon. Completely reimagined from its 2022 condition, the residence is offered fully renovated, decorator-furnished and ready to enjoy, an especially compelling opportunity in one of Sanibel's established beachfront communities. The interior has been transformed with wood-look tile flooring throughout, impact-rated windows and doors, new LED lighting and an entirely new furnishings package. The redesigned kitchen has a clean coastal aesthetic with shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, glass tile backsplash and stainless-steel appliances. The primary bath received an equally comprehensive renovation with a spacious walk-in shower and custom dual-sink vanity topped in quartz. An enclosed den adds valuable flexibility, creating additional space for overnight guests, a home office or a quiet retreat. What makes A2 particularly appealing, however, is its relationship with the outdoors. Go directly outside from the ground floor and the tropical landscape, lagoon and Gulf become an extension of the living space, without elevators or stairs between you and the beach. With the Gulf only two units away, this is the kind of location that makes coming and going from the sand remarkably effortless. Pointe Santo itself has undergone an impressive refresh, while retaining the character that has made it a Sanibel favorite for generations. The beachfront community encompasses 750 feet of Gulf frontage and features a heated Gulf-front saltwater pool and spa, new pool pavilion, tennis and pickleball courts, central lagoon, beachside lounge chairs and easy access to Sanibel's extensive bike path system. Its West Gulf Drive setting also places owners within an easy bike ride of island shopping and dining, with nearby resorts offering additional options for dining and recreation. Perhaps most noteworthy is the value proposition. The owner purchased A2 for $1,371,000 in 2022, prior to completing its extensive renovation and furnishing the residence from top to bottom. Today, it is being offered at $995,000, fully renovated, impact-protected, beautifully furnished and near the Gulf. Pointe Santo unit A2 offers a rare combination of Gulf proximity, turnkey condition and compelling value within one of Sanibel's recognizable beachfront communities.

On 1.134 acres in Gulf Ridge on Sanibel Island, this property combines generous indoor and outdoor living with multiple deeded beach accesses, including a golf cart-accessible beach path. A new four-seat E-Z-GO golf cart is included with the sale, providing an easy connection between the residence and the Gulf. A notable feature is the attached guesthouse, an uncommon offering on Sanibel Island. Designed with two separate studio apartments, each with its entrance and studio kitchen, the guesthouse provides additional space for visiting guests or live-in caretakers. The studios also offer flexibility to be reimagined for uses such as a private office. A breezeway connects the guesthouse with the main residence and rooftop sundeck, creating separation while maintaining a cohesive connection between the spaces. Two additional garage bays are incorporated into the guesthouse. The main residence offers three bedrooms, two full baths and one half bath, including two primary suites, one on each level. Each suite opens to a private deck and includes a walk-in closet designed by California Closets. The upper-level primary suite features vaulted ceilings accented with tongue-and-groove wood planks. Solid plank pine floors stained in a pecan finish add natural character throughout the interiors. In the kitchen, natural wood cabinetry is paired with quartz countertops and stainless steel KitchenAid appliances, including a six-burner gas range. A gas fireplace wrapped in decorative quartz slab creates an architectural focal point in the living area. Outdoor living extends across composite decks to a pool with waterfall and two outdoor showers. Above, the spacious rooftop sundeck offers Gulf views and ample room for a furnished outdoor living area. Along the property's edge, a retaining wall directs rainwater toward designated retention areas to support overall drainage. The main residence provides a two-car garage, golf cart garage and covered carport. Following Hurricane Ian, improvements included a new metal roof and gutters, four replaced and elevated air-conditioning systems, new electric water heaters, new outdoor showers, replacement rooftop cable railing and replacement appliances, except the range hood. The main residence garage doors and golf cart garage door were replaced with impact-rated doors and new operating equipment. A 1,000-gallon propane tank also serves the property. From the connected yet private guest accommodations to days spent between the beach, pool and Gulf-view rooftop sundeck, the property is thoughtfully configured for rhythms of Sanibel Island living.

On Sanibel, the best days often begin and end near the water. In Butterknife, that rhythm comes with a level of privacy and convenience found nowhere else along West Gulf Drive. The only gated community on this desired island corridor, Butterknife is a private enclave of just 34 homesites, with gated streets, and deeded beach access for pedestrians and golf carts. Approximately 344 feet from the community's deeded beach access, this turnkey-furnished beach house offers 3,634 square feet of air-conditioned living space with five bedrooms and three full baths. Built in 2015 by Seacoast Cottage Company, the residence captures a relaxed coastal character through bamboo plank accents along vaulted ceilings, generous gathering spaces and an elevator connecting all three levels. Above it all, a rooftop observation deck creates a private perch for Gulf views and the changing colors of the Sanibel sky. The kitchen is designed for everything from mornings after a beach walk to evenings spent entertaining, with custom-stained cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, farmhouse sink, wine cooler, KitchenAid appliances, cooktop and microwave drawer. The home is offered turnkey furnished, including a fully equipped kitchen, making the transition to island living refreshingly simple. Recent improvements add another layer of value. A standing-seam metal roof, irrigation system and hurricane-rated garage doors were added in 2023. Hurricane-rated windows and doors complement the home's Hardie board exterior. The setting extends the lifestyle well beyond the residence. Butterknife's newly completed sports and fitness facility features tennis, multiple pickleball courts, a sports and basketball court, and a shaded observation area with seating. The community pool is approximately 111 feet from the property. For those who envision a private pool, the property's 10,000 square feet of allowable impervious and developed-area coverage provides room for that possibility, subject to applicable approvals. There is also a compelling replacement-cost perspective. Based on an estimated $400,000 homesite value and approximately $1.8 million to construct a 3,634-square-foot residence, or about $495 per square foot, the estimated replacement basis is at least $2.2 million. Here, the appeal is as much about what is in place as what surrounds it, including a furnished beach house, gated island setting, recreation just outside the door and the Gulf only a short distance or golf cart ride down a private community path.
