About this home

We are proud to present your slice of paradise on Pine Island with this rare gulf-access waterfront lot located in the peaceful boating community of St. James City. This spacious lot offers 110 feet of direct frontage on the Dawson Canal, providing straight-out, unobstructed access to Matlacha Pass and San Carlos Bay—no bridges—just effortless boating to world-class fishing, scenic island hopping, and waterfront dining. The rear of the property is already secured with rip rap shoreline protection along the entire length, providing durability, erosion control, and added peace of mind for your future waterfront build. To make things even easier, the lot has been improved with approximately 100 loads of fill dirt—an estimated $40,000 value—already in place, helping reduce site prep costs and accelerating your timeline to break ground. Tucked near the end of a quiet dead-end road, this homesite enjoys minimal traffic and maximum serenity, surrounded by canal-front homes, tropical palms, and the natural beauty Pine Island is known for. Just minutes away, you'll find local favorites like The Waterfront Restaurant, Low Key Tiki, and Phuzzy's Boat Shack, along with the charming, artsy village of Matlacha, filled with galleries, shops, and island flair. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate nearby kayaking trails, birdwatching areas, and nature preserves, while boaters have endless options with direct Gulf access to Sanibel, Captiva, and Cayo Costa. This is a unique opportunity to own a build-ready, rip rap-protected canal lot in one of Southwest Florida’s most laid-back coastal communities. Whether you're planning a full-time residence or a weekend escape, this property offers the perfect gateway to island living at its finest.
