FORT MYERS, FL 33905
Description
Own a rare piece of paradise in Southwest Florida! Little Shell Island, located in the Caloosahatchee River within the Miserable Mile at Marker 93-just south of Tarpon Point Marina-offers approximately .7 acres of natural beauty surrounded by calm waters and breathtaking views. Priced at $799,000, this private island is currently zoned AG-2, offering a wide range of potential uses. City and County staff have previously recognized the inherent challenges of island development and have granted a variance waiving the standard setback conditions typically required along similar waterbodies in Southwest Florida. Accessible only by boat, Little Shell Island offers a truly secluded retreat. The island has a colorful history, once serving as a popular restaurant destination for locals and passing boaters in the 1970s and 1980s. A previous dock serviced the island, and there may be an opportunity to rebuild, subject to permitting. Additionally, the current owner had previously applied for a variance to build a solar-powered lighthouse-style structure featuring a one-bedroom residence. Whether you envision a private escape, an eco-resort concept, or a return to commercial hospitality, Little Shell Island presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create something truly special in one of Florida's most iconic waterways.
