Where Acreage Meets Elegance on the River – An Iconic Alva Legacy Estate
Set just west of the Franklin Locks, this extraordinary riverfront estate is a rare offering where expansive acreage, historic character, & navigable waterfront converge—something seldom found in SWFL. Spanning nearly 26 acres with approximately 850 feet of Caloosahatchee River frontage, this is not simply a property—it is a private sanctuary of scale, presence, and possibility. A long, winding drive introduces the estate with a sense of arrival reserved for truly distinguished properties. Towering oaks, open pastures, & sweeping river views create a landscape that feels both grand & timeless—an increasingly rare combination of usable acreage & deep-water access.
At the center of the estate stands a stately 1926 residence encompassing 3,577 square feet under air, rich in architectural heritage & refined character. Soaring 14+ foot ceilings, multiple fireplaces, and thoughtfully preserved details evoke a level of craftsmanship that cannot be replicated. A breezeway-connects the 4-car garage for both elegance and practicality. 
Complementing the main residence is a separate 3-bedroom, 2-bath caretaker’s home offering approximately 1,036 square feet—ideal for extended guests, or private staff quarters.
Designed for those who value both lifestyle and land, the estate is fully equipped for equestrian/agricultural pursuits. Multiple fenced pastures, coupled with a striking barn. Inside, 4 stalls & multiple tiled rooms offer flexibility for tack, feed, or specialty use. Designed for comfort, efficiency, resilience, the home is equipped with a whole-house Generac generator, a premium Kinetico whole-house water filtration system, and a 1,000-gallon propane tank—providing reliable, uninterrupted living with elevated utility infrastructure rarely found in properties of this scale.
A defining feature of this estate is the 60x60 Quonset structure— a rare opportunity for large-scale storage, a collector’s showroom, or workshop. Just steps away is also an RV hookup.  Few properties offer such a distinctive and adaptable asset. 
Along the river’s edge, is a 80 foot floating dock extending your living experience onto the water—perfect for boating, fishing, or accommodating larger vessels. With direct access to the Caloosahatchee River & beyond, this property delivers the kind of waterfront lifestyle typically reserved for far denser, far less private locations—yet here, it is paired with nearly 26 acres of open land.
In a region where true riverfront acreage estates are increasingly scarce, this offering stands apart. It is the uncommon blend of privacy, scale, navigable waterfront, & historic elegance that defines legacy properties—& makes them nearly impossible to replicate.
This is more than a residence. It is a generational estate—where land, water, and timeless design meet in perfect harmony. PID #'S: 14-43-26-00-00008.0000, 14-43-26-00-00008.1010, 23-43-26-00-00002.0000

Welcome to Equestrian Acres, an exceptional 19+ acre private equestrian estate where luxury, functionality, and an extraordinary equestrian lifestyle converge. Meticulously designed with both horse and rider in mind, this remarkable property offers a rare combination of equestrian infrastructure, versatility, recreation, and income-producing potential in the heart of Southwest Florida's equestrian country.

At the center of the estate is a 250' x 275' irrigated riding arena, strategically positioned between two barns for convenient access. Three viewing stands provide excellent vantage points for spectators and trainers. The professionally appointed 16-stall luxury barn features a humidity-controlled feed room, air-conditioned tack room with changing area, laundry room, kitchen space, men's and women's bathrooms with showers, office, and fly-misting system. A separate secondary barn near the main residence includes a bathroom, tack area, and fly-misting system. Originally designed for quarantine, it is equally suited for foaling, veterinary care, private boarding, or horses requiring additional separation.

(17) lush paddocks and turnout areas, double fencing, professional landscaping, and secure gated entry complete the equestrian grounds. A Kubota tractor equipped for arena grooming, mower, and Bush Hog convey with the property. 

An extraordinary 50' x 70' multi-purpose event and entertainment building adds remarkable versatility. Ideal for weddings, celebrations, private gatherings, equestrian events, and more, it features an $18,000 sound system, bar/lounge, kitchen, TV lounge, bunk room, full bathroom, and polished concrete floors. The building can accommodate up to a 45-foot RV and includes 50-amp electrical and sewer hookups, creating additional potential for entertainment, guest accommodations, RV use, or income generation.

The estate also includes three beautifully remodeled residences, two with in-ground pools, offering flexibility for owners, guests, caretakers, or rental opportunities. There is also potential to build on a large inclusive parcel, to create another custom luxury estate residence.

Ideally located in Alva, Florida, the property offers the tranquility and character of Old Florida while providing convenient access to the Caloosahatchee Intra-Coastal Riverway, Fort Myers, Sanibel and Naples area beaches, I-75, RSW Airport, and renowned equestrian destinations throughout Florida, including Wellington & Ocala.

Equestrian Acres is more than an equestrian property—it is a fully developed lifestyle estate offering a rare opportunity to combine horses, recreation, events, privacy, and investment potential in one extraordinary setting.   Call today for more information.
