About this home
One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged, AI generated or rendered. Bring your friends and family because this spectacular home has a fully detached guest house and a huge bonus game room. Enjoy the kind of space and stillness that is becoming harder to find in Southwest Florida. This 1.59 acre Alva property does not require flood insurance, and sits just outside Fort Myers city limits, so you skip city taxes while still enjoying easy access to shopping, dining, and the airport. Here, mornings start with hot coffee on the lanai, birds chirping in the pine trees, and evenings end sitting in the hot tub with easy conversations. This home sets itself apart with mature landscaping, a paved driveway, and a 3 car garage that offers room for vehicles or a workshop. The main house has 3 bedrooms, a den, and 3 bathrooms, built in 2005 and freshly painted. An open, light filled layout flows easily from room to room, and the kitchen is made for a true cook with double islands, built in cooktop, and hood vent. A detached guest house adds even more living space with kitchenette, private bedroom, and full bathroom, ready for visiting family, a home office, or extended stay guests who want their own space and their own front door. Step outside and the property truly opens up. A large covered lanai overlooks a sparkling pool and spa, wrapped by a pool deck sized for real gatherings, not just a quick dip. Picture Sunday afternoons drifting in the water with the game on TV, evening cookouts with your favorite people, and plenty of open ground to stretch out, plant a garden, or simply enjoy the acreage without another rooftop in sight. For horse owners, on site stables are available for an additional monthly fee, a rare find this close to town and a genuine draw for anyone who wants their animals home with them every single day of the year. Alva has quietly become one of the most sought after corners of Lee County, prized for its rural character, its river access, and its horse friendly roads and trails. You are minutes from boat ramps on the Caloosahatchee River, close to the growing shops and restaurants along State Road 31, and just down the road from Babcock Ranch, where new town centers, walking trails, fresh retail, and solar powered innovation continue to reshape what is possible in this fast growing part of Southwest Florida. Fort Myers is a short drive away whenever you want the energy and convenience of the city, then it is right back to your own private acreage the moment you are ready for quiet again. Homes with this much land, this much privacy, and true equestrian potential are so very rare, especially with stables already in place and a guest house ready to go. If open space, serenity, and the freedom of country living on your own terms sound like what you have been searching for, 18241 Riverwind Drive is ready to show you what a peaceful life really feels like every day.
