Ranch, Single Family

A private 5-acre estate surrounded by conservation and water in the heart of Fort Myers is a rarity — and opportunities like this are disappearing quickly. Located at the end of a quiet dead-end road in Briarcliff, this AG-zoned property offers the quiet luxury of space, privacy, and natural beauty just minutes from I-75, RSW Airport, Alico Road, Michael G. Rippe Pkwy, and the Beaches of Fort Myers, Sanibel/Captiva. Even more compelling — 5 acres of county-owned conservation land directly to the north will never be built on, creating a permanent natural buffer that protects your privacy and preserves the natural views long term. Privacy like this is increasingly difficult to find in such a rapidly growing area. This estate offers exceptional flexibility for expansion, additional structures, agricultural operations, nursery use, or long-term hold potential. Nearly 5 acres, AG zoning, and existing infrastructure provide unique flexibility for estate expansion or future land investment. Water and power already run to the rear of the property, and underground electric supports dual power systems along with separate well systems (with crossover capability), preserving the clean, estate-like feel of the property. The property features approximately 1,000 feet of 60-foot-wide canal frontage — fish for snook, tilapia, and bass while enjoying frequent visits from egrets, herons, woodpeckers, and eagles. Mature oak trees, bamboo, Foxtail, Coconut, Royal, Canary Island Date, Bismarck, and Phoenix Reclinata palms create a lush tropical setting alongside mango, avocado, orange, and lime trees. The landscaping creates timeless character that complements the natural surroundings. Inside, double glass doors open to views of the canal and landscape beyond. The family room, formal dining area, and kitchen serve as the heart of the home, ideal for entertaining while enjoying the outdoor setting. The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, double ovens, and a gas cooktop. The split floor plan provides privacy, with two guest bedrooms and a full bath on the left wing. On the right side is an additional bedroom with its own bathroom (also serving as a guest bath), along with the primary suite positioned toward the rear for added privacy. The primary retreat includes dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a walk-in shower with dual shower heads. A separate ensuite with its own entrance and private bath is ideal for multigenerational living, guests, or a private office. The home also features impact windows and doors, tile flooring, coffered ceilings, rope lighting, generous closet space, and a fenced front yard. Acreage. Infrastructure. Conservation buffer. Location. This property is for the buyer seeking quiet luxury — space to breathe, privacy to enjoy, and a home crafted with purpose.
