Five private acres that feel like thousands—yet approximately 15 minutes from the conveniences of Babcock Ranch. Tucked at the end of a private road in North Fort Myers, this custom 2011 concrete-block home with metal roof pairs true country privacy with everyday convenience. The 5 acres are fenced and cross-fenced and border Cecil M. Webb Wildlife Management Area to the west—a natural backdrop with no neighbors in sight. Deer, wild turkey, Sandhill cranes and cattle along the fence line are part of everyday life here, along with western sunsets, yet Publix, shopping and dining are just minutes away.
Inside, the 1,982-sq-ft home features an open-concept floor plan with two primary suites on opposite sides and the main living spaces open in between. Vaulted and tray ceilings add to the airy feel, with hardwood in the main living areas and tile in the baths. Each suite offers dual closets and private lanai access—a flexible split layout suited to a private guest suite, home office or multi-generational living. One suite includes a custom bath with architectural columns and a large walk-in shower; the home offers 3 full baths.
The completely remodeled custom kitchen (2019) was redesigned from the ground up with quartz countertops, custom cabinetry and a built-in dining area created for the space. An oversized laundry room adds abundant storage, and the open design flows out to the home's multiple outdoor spaces.
Outside is a private tropical oasis. Lush landscaping surrounds a custom saltwater pool with waterfall grotto, tanning ledge and bubbler. A composite wraparound deck, paver fire pit and regulation-size beach volleyball court add even more room to enjoy the acreage.
Bring the horses, RV, boat, equipment and toys. The property includes a 36' x 50' shop with 30-amp RV hookup, a two-stall barn with water and 240V electric, pond, pasture and former riding arena. Electric extends to the rear pasture with lighting at the former arena site, and the arena footing remains beneath the grass for buyers wishing to restore it.
Extensively updated for Southwest Florida living: HVAC replaced in 2022 and serviced twice annually, with in-home air purification, UV lights and a whole-home dehumidifier added in 2024. It also features interior and exterior surge protection and a moisture sensor/wet switch that detects water, shuts the system down and sends an alert. Additional features include a generator hookup at the electrical panel and Samsung refrigerator and oven purchased December 2025.
Enjoy the best of both worlds—the quiet, wildlife and privacy of acreage living, minutes from Publix and Babcock Ranch's growing shopping and dining, including ACE Hardware and HomeGoods. Private dirt-road access also offers a convenient alternative route toward I-75.
