10731 Wintercress DR ESTERO FL 34135 MLS #226007476

Sun-soaked pool days, long lake views, and a front-row backdrop of Shadow Wood’s North Course set the stage for this pristine residence at 10731 Wintercress Drive on a rare oversized half-acre homesite. The Covington floor plan offers 4 bedrooms plus a den, 3 full baths (including a pool bath), and a hard-to-find 3-car side-entry garage with 700+ sq ft of air-conditioned, insulated storage—perfect for everything from golf gear and bikes to prized sports cars. Inside, volume ceilings and an easy, welcoming flow lead to an impressive wall of 15-foot pocketing sliders that open wide to a covered lanai, creating effortless indoor-outdoor living you’ll actually use year-round. Desirable southeast exposure keeps the sparkling pool in full sun all day while maintaining a serene, private feel with peaceful lake views and golf-course scenery. The generously sized kitchen is ready for real life and entertaining with 42-inch wood cabinetry, extensive counter space, a prep island with sink, a built-in desk, and all-new appliances added in January 2025. A significant bonus here is future flexibility: the lot is nearly 50% larger than many in Shadow Wood with approximately 225 feet of frontage, positioned along the golf course rather than directly beside a neighboring home, offering the potential (subject to approvals) for a substantial addition—an appealing long-term value whether you want to expand the already large footprint or preserve strong added value to the sale of the property by a future buyer. Optional memberships elevate the experience even further with three championship 18-hole golf courses, nine Har-Tru tennis courts, bocce, and miles of beautifully landscaped paths for biking and evening strolls, plus exciting enhancements underway including a resort-style pool, dedicated children’s pool, six indoor pickleball courts, and poolside food and beverage service. The Commons Club adds private beach access and an exclusive beach pavilion, a staffed fitness center with classes and personal training, additional pickleball, a lap pool, spa and massage services, social activities, a playground, and a members-only restaurant. Coming in 2026, Shadow Wood’s Lifestyle Center is slated to bring resort-style pools, a poolside restaurant and bar, indoor pickleball, a new racquets pro shop, and a grab-and-go café—planned with no assessment to members—while you enjoy a prime location near Coconut Point, Miromar Outlets, Hertz Arena, Gulf Coast Town Center, premier medical facilities, white-sand beaches, renowned dining, and RSW Airport.
