5 Waterfront Florida Homes and Land from Punta Gorda to Estero

A study in contemporary design, this Punta Gorda residence was completely reimagined from the slab up in 2023/2024, pairing modern coastal elegance with a clear emphasis on structural integrity. Built atop a 4-course stem wall at 9.6’ elevation, it’s crowned by a 2024 standing seam metal roof tied to the foundation with threaded steel rods every 18 inches. Two custom steel hurricane-impact pivot doors open to vaulted cypress ceilings and French-pattern cream travertine marble flooring. The chef’s kitchen is tailored for serious hosting, with JennAir, Bosch, and Fisher Paykel appliances, two dishwashers, gas range, double wall ovens, a warming drawer, and a hidden pantry with a second Bosch refrigerator. Outside, a covered flat-roof lanai offers tan travertine flooring, a gas hookup for a future outdoor kitchen, and a 50’ saltwater lap pool with decorative jets and 2024 updates—made for long, unhurried afternoons.

Along the water’s edge in Little Hickory Shores, this homesite is tailored to a true boating lifestyle—where dockage, depth, and access come first. Set within a non-gated, no HOA community in Collier County, Bonita Springs, the property is offered build-to-suit and already comes with a boat dock equipped with a 10,000 lb. boat lift plus a separate kayak platform/lift. From here, enjoy direct Gulf access with no bridges to Wiggins Pass and a route that puts the Gulf just minutes away. On land, the setting keeps everyday pleasures close: the beach is an easy bike ride or walk, with restaurants nearby as well. Days can begin on the dock and end with sunset plans made on foot.

Beyond the gates of Palmetto Pines Drive in Cape Coral, this custom residence unfolds across 10.49 acres along a fresh water canal, zoned AG-2 for usable farmland and exceptional privacy. A fully fenced back yard is designed with equestrian and hobby-farm living in mind, anchored by a barn with three stalls and a tack room. Inside, cedar ceilings bring warmth and texture, while two primary suites are oriented to capture peaceful nature views. The upstairs suite adds skylights and a private balcony—an easy spot to watch wildlife and take in sunsets. A fireplace lends a quiet focal point, and a saltwater pool extends the living experience outdoors. With a whole-home reverse-osmosis system, the setting balances rural calm with the comfort of a private community.

Along the water’s edge on the Myakka River in Venice, Florida, this rare assemblage offers over four acres of waterfront land with a sense of scale that’s increasingly hard to find. Comprising five lots, the property pairs river and canal frontage—an impressive 275 feet along the Myakka River and 306 feet of canal frontage—creating a setting that feels both expansive and quietly removed. Zoning for residential use and electric nearby open the door to a range of futures, from a private multi-home compound to multiple luxury estates. Despite the seclusion, daily life stays connected, with easy access to I-75, Wellen Park, Myakka Pines Golf Course, CoolToday Park, and the Myakka State Forest trail system. No HOA and no CDD keep the experience refreshingly straightforward.
