About this home

Offered for the first time, this exceptional Gulf-access turnkey residence is tucked within the gated enclave of Hidden Harbor, one of Southwest Florida's best-kept secrets. Situated on a rare peninsula homesite with a deep setback, the property enjoys enhanced privacy, no home directly in front, and a tranquil backdrop overlooking the community's expansive harbor. Perfectly positioned on a premium southern-exposure lot, the residence captures spectacular sunset views, frequent manatee sightings, abundant fishing opportunities, and direct boating access to the Gulf of Mexico from your private dock via the Ten Mile Canal, Mullock Creek, and Estero Bay. Designed for both everyday living and grand-scale entertaining, the residence offers 4 bedrooms plus a den, 3.5 baths, and a thoughtfully designed floor plan that seamlessly connects indoor/outdoor living spaces. Hurricane-rated windows and doors provide peace of mind, while the home's elevated construction (built up 3 additional feet) remained dry inside during Hurricane Ian. The interior showcases a bright, open-concept design highlighted by oversized porcelain tile, wood-look flooring in select spaces, a spacious great room anchored by a built-in 98-inch television, and a beautifully appointed kitchen centered around an expansive island. The layout includes a luxurious primary king suite and a generously sized junior guest suite featuring its own king bed, creating dual-suite accommodations ideal for hosting guests, extended family, or multi-generational living while ensuring comfort and privacy for all. Outdoor living takes center stage. The extended screened lanai was designed to embrace Southwest Florida's year-round lifestyle, featuring a 450 square foot resort-style pool, raised spa, upgraded travertine 16x16 pavered decking, outdoor ceiling fan, fire pit stub-out, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen complete with a separate island and bar seating area. Beyond the lanai, a private dock provides immediate access to the harbor and serves as the perfect launching point for boating, kayaking, fishing, or simply enjoying the tranquil waterfront setting. Additional highlights include an EV charging outlet in garage, extra dryer and dryer hookup in the garage, an air-conditioned storage room, multiple televisions that convey with the home, and a kayak with paddles. Residents of Hidden Harbor enjoy access to an exclusive waterfront clubhouse featuring a social room, fitness center, lap pool, and kayak launch area. Ideally located near I-75, Gulf Coast Town Center, Miromar Outlets, Florida Gulf Coast University, RSW International Airport, dining, shopping, and professional sports venues, this residence offers a rare combination of luxury, privacy, boating access, and convenience. Whether seeking a year-round residence, seasonal retreat, investment opportunity, or an entertainer's dream home, this remarkable waterfront property delivers a lifestyle few communities can match.
