Stunning Gulf views looking over Sanibel's majestic Clam Bayou make this home an incredible opportunity. The property combines access to the beach by water and by land with the ability to enjoy boating, kayaking, and fishing in the Bayou, all surrounded by nature and wildlife. Showcasing all of what makes Sanibel so incredible, this is the property of a lifetime and is ready to be turned into your spectacular island retreat. Low density on the beach with no condos in sight, this part of the island allows you to experience the splendor of the island in a quiet, peaceful setting where birds and the surf are the loudest things you'll hear. The elevated home has high ceilings, large rooms, open living areas, plentiful windows that perfectly capture the amazing views, and an elevated pool area that beautifully blends indoor and outdoor living spaces. The home needs a new roof and significant interior and exterior repair but the AC is running and the property is kept clean and maintained. There is a private elevator that travels from ground level to top floor, although it is currently not operational. The floor plans for the home are available and are attached to the listing: a great way to start planning your renovation! Opportunities like this one are extremely rare... don't miss it!
