This is a very unique opportunity to purchase one of the largest bayfront lots in Fort Myers Beach, FL. The Town of Fort Myers Beach is at the beginning of a major, island-wide re-development with several luxurious condo and hotel complexes being planed or in the building process. The island is abuzz with the construction of new, high end homes and retail/restaurant facilities. This is the time to get a reasonably priced bayfront home, before real estate prices will sky-rocket.
Away from the the hustle of Times Square at the North end of the island, this unique home sits on a quiet residential cul-de-sac surrounded by high-end homes and nature. Opportunity is knocking and the future is bright!
