Description
A Rare Sanctuary on Sanibel Island. Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and backing up to 70 acres of protected preserve, this completely rebuilt, architect-designed home offers something increasingly rare on Sanibel: privacy, modern resilience, and true island character, all in one place. Inside, 2,100± square feet unfold across a bright, open floor plan built to capture the island's breezes and long, leafy views. Soaring ceilings and oversized hurricane-impact windows flood the main living space with light, while the first-floor primary suite offers rare single-level ease. At the heart of the home is a German-engineered Eggersmann kitchen, built with the precision and obsessive attention to detail of a high-performance German automobile striking to look at, but engineered for real function, with storage and workflow designed down to the inch. Designer fixtures and premium flooring carry that same quality throughout the home. Upstairs, three sunlit bedrooms and two spacious bathrooms with walk-in showers lead to the home's most memorable space: a playroom connecting two custom-designed bunk rooms with 12-foot-plus ceilings and four built-in beds, each bed with its own skylight. Every system here was rebuilt to exceed current code: a 22-gauge standing-seam metal roof, PGT impact windows and doors, new electrical, plumbing, and irrigation, Hardie Plank siding, and a high-efficiency HVAC system. Outside, Trex decks with Bullet cable railings overlook a large backyard with room for a future pool and second-floor lake views plus parking for three vehicles and a boat, so there's space for every piece of island gear. Offered fully furnished and turnkey, the home sits on .23 private acres, walking distance to town, minutes from the causeway, and a short bike ride to Sanibel's white-sand beaches. With nearly 70% of the island permanently protected as conservation land, this is a rare chance to own a piece of one of America's last naturally preserved barrier islands where nature isn't a backdrop, but part of everyday life.
