About this home
Tucked away on over 10 acres in St. James City, this is a truly one-of-a-kind island retreat. Surrounded by a shallow saltwater bay and natural beauty, this private estate is perfectly positioned for peaceful living and vibrant wildlife watching—yes, even flamingos! The 3-story home offers over 3200 square feet of living space, with a spacious layout designed for comfort, entertaining, and relaxation. On the ground floor, enjoy a full game room, movie theater, guest bedroom, and bath. The second floor features a bright kitchen with quartzite countertops, marble flooring, handmade stained-glass lighting, and 2023 Bosch appliances. Glass doors and storm-rated windows bring in stunning bay views, while the wraparound screened porch invites you to unwind and take it all in. The top floor is dedicated to the expansive primary suite, complete with a luxurious bath, custom closets, and a private balcony with views stretching from Sanibel to Boca Grande. Outside, the newly added Michael Phelps swim spa is the ultimate upgrade—perfect for exercise or soaking under the stars—surrounded by a beautiful deck and terrace. Additional features include a massive 2,400 sq ft garage, upgraded 300-amp electric service, smart home lighting, two new A/C units, whole-house dehumidifiers, and even fenced enclosures for pets or livestock. Flood insurance is surprisingly affordable at just $2,929 per year. This is island living—reimagined.
