Less than a mile from the beach, this incredible Gulf access pool home is on a huge private lot with lush tropical landscaping and abundant opportunity to enjoy Sanibel's gorgeous west end. Meticulously updated and maintained, the spacious floor plan is both inviting and comfortable. Travertine tile throughout most of the home, beautifully appointed bathrooms and kitchen and plentiful windows create a fabulous living space. The property is adjacent to Sanibel's shared-use path, leading straight to Blind Pass where nightly sunsets, a general store and three restaurants are just a walk or bike ride away. Mature trees, thoughtful plantings, and meandering shell pathways surround the home, giving the property a magical quality. Appropriately named "Fern Gully", this property is captivating. A 7,500 pound boat lift adds to the appeal of the property: a perfect way to combine this tropical oasis with its quick trip to the beach with boat access to the Gulf through the majestic Dinkins Bayou. Boating, beach, pool, privacy, and a beautiful home. This is Sanibel at its finest.
