Overhead, Osprey and Bald Eagles patrol the sky. It is nature’s highway, and this property gives you one of the best seats on it. A property survey, marine survey, engineering study, and architectural plans for a custom approximately 3,000-square-foot elevated coastal residence, boat dock, and lift have already been completed and are transferable, representing a substantial savings of time and money already absorbed by the current owner. Simply put, buyers seeking the strongest waterfront value currently available on Sanibel should put this property at the top of their list. This is not just another vacant lot.
