Located atop one of the tallest ridges in Lee County—possibly all of Southwest Florida—this building lot will offer impressive sunset views and sweeping water vistas stretching west and northwest toward Boca Grande Pass and beyond. The lot fronts the famous Pink Path extending from the north to south end of the primary island body and is proximate to historic archeological explorations and findings on Useppa Island. The Collier Inn restaurant, pool, tennis, bocce and croquet facilities are just a short stroll down the path, while your boat can be moored at the Useppa Marina, just 5 minutes on foot or one minute by golf cart. All public utilities are available and ready. Zoning allows either a single-family or two-family (duplex) structure and island covenants will require an Old Florida design. The site is in the X flood zone, above any potential storm surge. Homeowners on bridgeless Useppa Island are required to have membership in the Useppa Island Club and Marina. The 110-acre Sanctuary Island is a private community and members-only club. With no need for gates or walls, it is surrounded by water, in the pristine Pine Island Sound and Charlotte Harbor Aquatic Preserves of Southwest Florida. Geographically it is in the same chain of barrier islands as Sanibel-Captiva, North Captiva, Cayo Costa and Gasparilla Islands, one island east of the Gulf of America. Accessible only by boat (or aircraft), the commute to the mainland is in a special class of its own. Just a 15-minute boat ride will deliver you to Boca Grande or Pine Island, and thence to all “civilized” conveniences of the mainland. The commute is special in a way that you will never tire of it. Just think-you are not stuck in traffic, or waiting for a light to change, fretting over the packed roads ahead. You are just watching the dolphins play and the birds dive, waving to passing boats with smiling passengers, and all of them wave with more than one finger-joyfully! Yes, not like the mainland! You might be sitting next to one of your Useppa neighbors, the one that has not been in a grocery store for months, because all their goods are delivered to the Shore Port, where the staff will transport them to her house. Who says island living is inconvenient?
