An opportunity like this rarely becomes available on Pine Island! Nearly 5.5 acres of mostly cleared, usable land with AG zoning, public water, a private well, irrigation, gated entry, and an existing 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offer a unique opportunity for anyone seeking space, flexibility, and the freedom to pursue an agricultural or homestead lifestyle. Set along Stringfellow Road, this property offers the kind of acreage that is increasingly difficult to find on Pine Island. The land has previously been used for agriculture and includes irrigation that can support the property’s potential nursery or mango operation. Whether your vision is an island homestead, agricultural venture, nursery, growing operation, hobby farm, or simply owning a substantial piece of Pine Island with room to spread out, this property deserves a serious look. The existing home provides a comfortable base while you develop the property around your vision. Recent improvements include a newer HVAC system, impact windows and front door, and luxury vinyl flooring, providing a solid foundation for immediate occupancy or future updates. Soak in the pool after a day of farm work or after coming in off the boat, with a catch of local favorites: Snook, Redfish, and Grouper. The barn also adds value, with a structure already in place to work from or store all the toys you could want on an island farm with quick access to Pine Island Sound. The zoning and potential agricultural exemptions add another important layer of value and flexibility. The gated entrance just off the main road provides privacy while the expansive acreage gives you something increasingly rare in Southwest Florida: room to breathe, room to work, and room to create. And then there is the Pine Island lifestyle. Spend your mornings tending the property, growing your own produce, working with plants, or simply enjoying the privacy of your own acreage. When the day's work is done, you're minutes from Pine Island's legendary boating, fishing, waterfront restaurants, marinas, and the laid-back Old Florida lifestyle that makes this island so special. If you've been looking for a property where you can live, work, grow, and build your own Pine Island vision, you need to see this in person. Properties with this combination of acreage, zoning, infrastructure, and location are truly once-in-a-lifetime.

Rare opportunity of its kind: This 1.1 acre freshwater corner lot, with over 500+ ft of waterfront and 350+ ft of road frontage is situated at the entrance to St. Jude Harbors subdivision at the northern end of St. James City, and across from (same seller owned) Gulf-access property (3921 Stabile Road). Though the size and layout of this property may likely offer the opportunity to sub-divide, a brilliant development idea encompasses both properties. The Gulf-access property, which is quite unique in its own way, may provide the site for a guest / boat house (end of direct access canal, offering possibility of expansive dock, etc.) while this site would be a perfect location for a superb, oversized mansion with an additional guest house(s), and still plenty of space to spare. The property is partly wooded and has Pine and Melaleuca trees along the waterfront, which will need to be cleared prior to development. Important: On this property there are several Gopher Tortoise burrows, not clear how many are occupied. These are protected species, however the possibility to relocate these precious burrow-dwellers exists and has to be done by a state certified and approved environmentalist. Being aware that this will necessitate extra permits and effort, the owner also provides an allowance of $30,000.00 for such services. The time to do this may be used to plan your future residence on lovely Pine Island. This is a rare opporunity in many ways. Don't wait!
