Pre-construction opportunity. To be built. Sale is for the lot with an existing structure, approved remodel permit with all fees PAID, and pool permit in hand with Design Concepts. Buyer need only submit an owner/builder affidavit with the building department or have their contractor provide required contractor information to the County. All remaining construction and development costs are the Buyer’s responsibility.

The remodel permit took over a year to obtain, and the home is fully prepared for transformation. The existing structure requires remodel per the approved building plans, with the planned addition built on top of the existing concrete block walls—no costly house lifting required. The home has been completely gutted, concrete has been cut and hammered for new thickened footings, and all that remains is removal of the trusses and roof.

Property includes two existing boat lifts (10,000 lb and 20,000 lb). The approved design features a beautiful open floor plan with vaulted ceilings, blending modern style with classic Old Florida appeal. Planned improvements include 2,075 sq ft of finished living space, a two-car garage, and approximately 1,215 sq ft of flex space on the lower level. Pool design does not encroach beneath the home, as shown in renderings.

Enjoy a 10-minute boat ride to open water via the Philips Canal, with easy access to Sanibel, Captiva, and Fort Myers Beach. Located in the heart of golf cart–friendly St. James City, close to the general store, fish market, Galt Preserve, St. Jude Nature Trail, Calusa Heritage Trail, and Pine Island Sound Aquatic Preserve. Community amenities include Civic Association Park events, free concerts, biking and walking paths, tennis and pickleball courts, a heated community pool, playground, tiki restaurants, and weekly live entertainment.

Come experience the laid-back island lifestyle you’ve been looking for.
