Description

Presenting an exceptional opportunity to build the custom waterfront residence you've always envisioned on this oversized 0.42-acre canal-front homesite (122' x 152', totaling 18,319 square feet). Perfectly positioned at the end of the Fry Waterway Canal, this premier property offers DIRECT, BRIDGE-FREE SAILBOAT-ACCESS to the open waters of Charlotte Harbor in less than 400 yards, placing the Peace River and the Gulf of Mexico within easy reach by boat. Offering 120 feet of concrete seawall, this remarkable homesite provides an extraordinary setting for a custom waterfront residence designed to embrace Southwest Florida's boating lifestyle. Launch your boat from your own backyard and spend the day exploring Charlotte Harbor, cruising the Peace and Myakka Rivers, enjoying waterfront dining, visiting nearby barrier islands, or heading through Boca Grande Pass to experience world-renowned tarpon fishing. Explore the area's exceptional waterfront dining, with numerous dock-and-dine restaurants just minutes away by boat. The end-of-canal location provides a broad waterfront setting, enhanced privacy, and an exceptional backdrop for your future home. Throughout the day, enjoy the ever-changing beauty of the surrounding waterways, where dolphins, manatees, turtles, and a variety of coastal birds are frequent visitors. Unlike many waterfront properties, this homesite is not located within a deed-restricted community, offering greater flexibility in designing and enjoying your waterfront retreat. County water is already connected with an existing water meter, public sewer is available, and buried electric service is in place—helping simplify the building process. For buyers ready to begin construction, structural plans are available for a custom concrete panel home featuring a 10-foot by 10-foot commercial elevator, offering an outstanding starting point for creating a distinctive waterfront residence. The property includes an existing dock that is conveyed as-is with no contributory value, providing a future opportunity for the new owner to design a dock to suit their boating needs. Ideally located just a short boat ride from the Charlotte County Yacht Club and minutes from top-notch dining, shopping, golf courses, parks, and Spring Training facilities—living here places the best of Southwest Florida’s lifestyle right at your doorstep. Air travel is both convenient and flexible with Punta Gorda (PGD), Sarasota (SRQ), and Fort Myers (RSW) airports located nearby. Your Southwest Florida waterfront lifestyle begins here.
