On 1.134 acres in Gulf Ridge on Sanibel Island, this property combines generous indoor and outdoor living with multiple deeded beach accesses, including a golf cart-accessible beach path. A new four-seat E-Z-GO golf cart is included with the sale, providing an easy connection between the residence and the Gulf. A notable feature is the attached guesthouse, an uncommon offering on Sanibel Island. Designed with two separate studio apartments, each with its entrance and studio kitchen, the guesthouse provides additional space for visiting guests or live-in caretakers. The studios also offer flexibility to be reimagined for uses such as a private office. A breezeway connects the guesthouse with the main residence and rooftop sundeck, creating separation while maintaining a cohesive connection between the spaces. Two additional garage bays are incorporated into the guesthouse. The main residence offers three bedrooms, two full baths and one half bath, including two primary suites, one on each level. Each suite opens to a private deck and includes a walk-in closet designed by California Closets. The upper-level primary suite features vaulted ceilings accented with tongue-and-groove wood planks. Solid plank pine floors stained in a pecan finish add natural character throughout the interiors. In the kitchen, natural wood cabinetry is paired with quartz countertops and stainless steel KitchenAid appliances, including a six-burner gas range. A gas fireplace wrapped in decorative quartz slab creates an architectural focal point in the living area. Outdoor living extends across composite decks to a pool with waterfall and two outdoor showers. Above, the spacious rooftop sundeck offers Gulf views and ample room for a furnished outdoor living area. Along the property's edge, a retaining wall directs rainwater toward designated retention areas to support overall drainage. The main residence provides a two-car garage, golf cart garage and covered carport. Following Hurricane Ian, improvements included a new metal roof and gutters, four replaced and elevated air-conditioning systems, new electric water heaters, new outdoor showers, replacement rooftop cable railing and replacement appliances, except the range hood. The main residence garage doors and golf cart garage door were replaced with impact-rated doors and new operating equipment. A 1,000-gallon propane tank also serves the property. From the connected yet private guest accommodations to days spent between the beach, pool and Gulf-view rooftop sundeck, the property is thoughtfully configured for rhythms of Sanibel Island living.

Golf. Beach. New construction. This newly completed 2026 residence in Sanibel’s Beachview community brings together three qualities rarely found in one island home: long views down the 14th fairway of Sanibel Island Golf Club, deeded Gulf beach access and substantial concrete construction designed with Florida living in mind. The home’s eastern exposure looks down the manicured fairway, creating a long, open backdrop for both the interior and outdoor living spaces. Inside, 12-foot ceilings and solid white oak plank flooring establish a clean, sophisticated aesthetic, while pocketing disappearing sliders open the great room completely to the outdoor living spaces, seamlessly connecting the two. Completed to modern construction standards, the residence incorporates Insulated Concrete Form construction along with extensive concrete components, including concrete construction through the main living level and subfloor and concrete front and rear lanais. ICF construction combines a reinforced concrete core with continuous insulation, creating a building envelope valued for structural resilience, energy efficiency, reduced outside-noise transmission and improved control of heat and humid-air infiltration, advantages particularly relevant to Southwest Florida. A metal roof and a whole-house 24-kilowatt propane generator with 1,000-gallon propane capacity further enhance the home’s infrastructure and preparedness. The main living level is designed for everyday comfort and entertaining. The kitchen features quartz countertops and a 40-inch gas range with six burners, griddle and two ovens, complemented by commercial refrigeration towers, a pantry and a beverage cooler. A separate office offers flexibility for potential use as a fourth bedroom. Privately positioned upstairs, the primary suite creates a retreat apart from the main living areas with vaulted ceilings, two walk-in closets, dual vanities, a soaking tub, a walk-in rain shower and electric window shades. Outdoor living is equally well considered. The pool and spa are surrounded by covered and uncovered gathering areas, while a reinforced pool enclosure with large panoramic panels preserves the expansive fairway outlook. An outdoor kitchen with a wet bar, beverage cooler and Coyote grill creates a complete setting for entertaining. Two single-width garages extend to double depth, offering exceptional storage and potential capacity for up to four vehicles. Beachview adds another dimension to the lifestyle. Sanibel Island Golf Club, its restaurant and pro shop are conveniently near the community entrance, with affordable memberships and daily rates providing the flexibility to play as frequently or casually as desired. When the beach calls, residents enjoy deeded Beachview beach access with parking for bicycles, golf carts and cars. The community also offers easy access to the Sanibel Causeway, the island’s extensive bicycle network and nearby resorts for dining or recreation.

On Sanibel, the best days often begin and end near the water. In Butterknife, that rhythm comes with a level of privacy and convenience found nowhere else along West Gulf Drive. The only gated community on this desired island corridor, Butterknife is a private enclave of just 34 homesites, with gated streets, and deeded beach access for pedestrians and golf carts. Approximately 344 feet from the community's deeded beach access, this turnkey-furnished beach house offers 3,634 square feet of air-conditioned living space with five bedrooms and three full baths. Built in 2015 by Seacoast Cottage Company, the residence captures a relaxed coastal character through bamboo plank accents along vaulted ceilings, generous gathering spaces and an elevator connecting all three levels. Above it all, a rooftop observation deck creates a private perch for Gulf views and the changing colors of the Sanibel sky. The kitchen is designed for everything from mornings after a beach walk to evenings spent entertaining, with custom-stained cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, farmhouse sink, wine cooler, KitchenAid appliances, cooktop and microwave drawer. The home is offered turnkey furnished, including a fully equipped kitchen, making the transition to island living refreshingly simple. Recent improvements add another layer of value. A standing-seam metal roof, irrigation system and hurricane-rated garage doors were added in 2023. Hurricane-rated windows and doors complement the home's Hardie board exterior. The setting extends the lifestyle well beyond the residence. Butterknife's newly completed sports and fitness facility features tennis, multiple pickleball courts, a sports and basketball court, and a shaded observation area with seating. The community pool is approximately 111 feet from the property. For those who envision a private pool, the property's 10,000 square feet of allowable impervious and developed-area coverage provides room for that possibility, subject to applicable approvals. There is also a compelling replacement-cost perspective. Based on an estimated $400,000 homesite value and approximately $1.8 million to construct a 3,634-square-foot residence, or about $495 per square foot, the estimated replacement basis is at least $2.2 million. Here, the appeal is as much about what is in place as what surrounds it, including a furnished beach house, gated island setting, recreation just outside the door and the Gulf only a short distance or golf cart ride down a private community path.

Outside, the home continues to impress with an oversized pool enclosed by a no-see-um screened cage, pressure-treated marine-grade decking with PolyRail vinyl railing, and a 30-foot dock with water, electric, and a 10,000-pound boat lift. With direct canal access and no bridges to the bay, this is a true boater’s retreat—enhanced by the quiet, private backdrop. Additional highlights include a 2017 roof, Trane A/C system, oversized garage with recessed doors and full-chip polyurethane floor coating, extended storage room off the pool area, bonus storage beneath the stairs, new soffit, fascia, downspouts, siding, irrigation, and beautifully maintained gardens that further enhance both privacy and curb appeal. Excellent spacing between neighboring homes adds to the sense of peace and seclusion. Centrally located with easy on-and-off island access, walking distance to the bay, and surrounded by nature, this home offers a rare blend of luxury, privacy, and premier boating access—an exceptional opportunity to own a fully updated waterfront retreat on Sanibel Island.
