Iconic Vacant Lot - known as "Stairway to Heaven" on social media. Seize a unique opportunity to own a piece of Fort Myers Beach history with this remarkable lot at 5851 Estero. Famously dubbed the "Stairway to Heaven," this property gained national attention after a resilient white staircase was all that remained of a charming 1950s cottage that washed away by Hurricane Ian. The staircase, celebrated in an inspiring Naples News Press article, has become a symbol of hope and renewal. This property offers a blank canvas for your dream beach home. Whether you envision a private coastal retreat, a modern residence, or a boutique vacation rental, the lot’s unique story, prime location, and weekly rental zoning advantages promise to make it an extraordinary investment. New home vacation rental has potential to do well over $100k in vacation rental income depending on size and #Beds and Baths based on rental performance of newer home builds on similar sized lots on Estero Blvd. Located in a prime spot on the island that is a convenient mile south of Publix and a mile north of CVS and Santini Plaza with restaurants and shopping.

Unique opportunity on San Carlos Island for an 80' wide waterfront lot moments to the Gulf of Mexico located on a quiet cul-de-sac! Oak St is mobile/manufactured home friendly but has a good mix of traditional homes as well. Most lots are 40 to 50 feet wide so to get a continuous 80 foot parcel is a rare find especially when adding in the NEW SEA WALL (2022). Build your custom dock to your specs & get ready to enjoy the waterways of SW Florida! Several new construction homes going up now & substantial sales of $1,050,000 in 2023 & another for $750,000 in July 2024 on the street. This is a great opportunity to get in on San Carlos Island! Investor friendly with potential for DUPLEX & WEEKLY RENTALS are permitted so would make an awesome rental property for a boater especially with potential of building a duplex. Have the best of both Fort Myers Beach & San Carlos Island without the "Island Traffic". With new marina being built nearby & potentially development now is the time to get in on San Carlos Island & be a part of something special!

Looking for that unique boating community, with deep water direct access out to the the Gulf of America and minutes to the beaches, well you just found it. The seller put in a new seawall, new dock, new electricity with two 50 amp and 30 amp services. Metered city water. There is currently one new pier, with boat slips on either side and you have the option of adding another pier to create two more boat slips for a total of 4 boat slips. (with Lee County Approval). An added bonus, directly across the street is a large vacant multi family lot ready to build on. There was a structure on this lot at one time which was scraped many years ago. You can build your multi family structure, rent out the other half or rent out the entire building and have your four boat slips right out your front door. The multi family lot and boats slips are sold as one property, one strap number. Can you imagine renting out the entire building and renting out all four boat slips, that could potentially be 6 income streams at one property. This is a unique property with the perfect set up for the avid boater, minutes out to the Gulf of America, beaches and barrier islands..
