Step into a world of timeless elegance and refined luxury with this extraordinary custom residence by one of Florida’s premier luxury home builders. Designed by the legendary W.A. “Bud” Lawrence, this architectural masterpiece blends the rich influences of Spain, France, and Italy into a harmonious sanctuary of style and sophistication. Renovated to the studs in 2022 (prior to Hurricane Ian), this home has the perfect balance of modern luxury and old world character.

Positioned in one of Fort Myers’ most coveted waterfront locations, this estate boasts serene, unobstructed views of tranquil mangroves and water—no neighboring homes facing the back, only privacy and natural beauty. With direct access to the Caloosahatchee River in mere minutes, this is a true boater’s dream, complete with two boat lifts, and a private dock. There is ample outdoor entertaining space that is centered around the sparkling pool and spa.

Every detail of this home reflects impeccable craftsmanship and discerning taste. From the moment you enter, you’re greeted by luxurious designer finishes, top-of-the-line appliances, and custom selections that speak to a lifestyle of effortless elegance. The all-new, just-completed flat tile roof crowns the home with modern distinction, while upgraded all-impact doors and windows provide peace of mind and effortless beauty.

Importantly, the inside of this home has never experienced any flooding or stormwater intrusion—even through Hurricane Ian—underscoring the integrity of its construction and its exceptional elevation.

Inside, the ambiance is one of European charm fused with modern convenience. Tall ceilings, handcrafted detailing, and a flowing layout create a warm, welcoming environment that is as functional as it is beautiful. Three bedrooms, plus a den, sprawl throughout the main part of the house. An additional bedroom and bathroom are separate in an in-law suite format. This is perfect for visiting family, a live-in nanny, or older child that desires more privacy. Whether you're entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet evening overlooking the water, every space in this home has been thoughtfully designed to elevate your everyday living.

This is more than a home—it is a rare opportunity to own a European-inspired waterfront jewel, where no expense has been spared and every moment is touched by grace and grandeur.

Luxury, privacy, and effortless waterfront living—this is Fort Myers at its finest.
