About This Property

One of the largest waterfront properties in St. James Isles, formerly known as Cherry Estates, this oversized homesite offers an exceptional combination of space, premier boating amenities, and island living that is rarely available. Situated on deep, direct Gulf access waterfront with no bridges, you'll enjoy quick, unrestricted access to Pine Island Sound, world-class fishing, and the Gulf waters beyond. Boasting 107 feet of waterfront with a new seawall installed in 2015, this property is designed for those who want to embrace the ultimate Southwest Florida boating lifestyle. A gated, fenced side yard features a dedicated parking concrete pad for up to a 25-foot RV, while the expansive lot still offers plenty of room to add a pool. The composite dock is equipped with water, electric, and a convenient fish cleaning station, along with a 7,500-pound covered boat lift and a 4,500-pound uncovered boat lift, making it easy to accommodate multiple boats or watercraft. An oversized outdoor shower makes rinsing off after a day on the water easy. Inside, the home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, an enclosed lanai with two new 2026 mini-split systems, an in-residence laundry room, and a spacious primary suite featuring a walk-in closet, dual-sink vanity, and walk-in shower. The kitchen features white raised-panel cabinetry, a center island, a stainless steel refrigerator, pantry, and abundant workspace. Thoughtful upgrades continue throughout the home with California-style shelving in every closet and pantry, providing exceptional organization and storage. Major improvements completed in 2023 include a new roof, vinyl siding, air conditioning system, water heater, deep two-car carport, and a new roof over the attached workshop. The exterior is finished with decorative concrete around the entire perimeter, creating a clean, finished appearance that sets it apart from traditional skirting. Additional highlights include an attached workshop with loft, an air-conditioned Amazon storage shed, Bahama-style hurricane shutters on most windows, a hardwired security system with battery backup, a deep paver carport, and a beautifully finished paver backyard perfect for relaxing or entertaining. For added peace of mind, the home has never experienced storm surge water inside. Whether you're cruising to the world-famous beaches of Sanibel, Captiva, North Captiva, Cayo Costa, Boca Grande, and Cabbage Key or heading to the legendary fishing grounds of Pine Island Sound, renowned for outstanding tarpon, snook, redfish, and trout fishing, this property offers the true Southwest Florida boating lifestyle. With one of the largest lots in St. James Isles, deep direct Gulf access, abundant parking and storage, and exceptional waterfront amenities, this is a rare opportunity to own your own island retreat.
