About This Home

Experience the ultimate Southwest Florida waterfront lifestyle at this extraordinary custom riverfront estate. Privately set on 2 fully fenced acres along the Caloosahatchee River in Alva, the property combines protected dockage, expansive outdoor living, and clean, modern architectural design to create your own private resort. It offers approximately 4,200 square feet between the main home and poolside cabana, along with 125 feet of protected oxbow frontage. Built in 2015 and featured in Grandeur magazine, the home was thoughtfully designed for boating, entertaining, and comfortable everyday living. The main home offers approximately 3,800 square feet with 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, two large bonus rooms, an oversized 1,100 square foot three car garage, and a 1,000 square foot covered lanai. Polished concrete floors, clean lines, and an efficient layout maximize water views, functionality, and usable living space. Completed in 2021, the separate 400 square foot poolside cabana includes a full bath, a spacious bonus room currently used as a gym, and a true summer kitchen with an EVO grill, searing grill, Big Green Egg, nugget ice maker, beverage refrigerator, and beautiful river views. Just outside, the heated pool features a waterfall and rock slide, along with an oversized heated spa large enough for a crowd. The expansive dock includes an outside slip for up to a 60 foot vessel, an inside slip for up to a 40 foot vessel, 50 amp shore power, Tide Slides that automatically adjust with changing tides, and a fish cleaning station. The protected oxbow location provides direct river access while shielding boats from the constant wake and traffic of the main channel. The fully fenced grounds feature mature oaks, park like landscaping, landscape lighting, a large driveway with excellent guest parking, raised garden beds, an open air barn, and a spacious front field for sports and recreation. Built with hurricane preparedness in mind, the home sits at more than 9 feet of elevation, and the living areas remained high and dry during Hurricane Ian. A 20 kW solar PV system with 6 Enphase batteries provides backup power for essential systems, including air conditioning. During Ian, the home maintained uninterrupted power even as many nearby generators flooded or failed. As an added benefit, the system reduces monthly utility costs by approximately 50 to 75 percent depending on the season, even while charging two EVs. Additional features include Starlink internet with fiber now also available, Sonos audio throughout, whole home reverse osmosis providing bottled water quality at every faucet and shower, and a second well for irrigation. Furnishings are negotiable, allowing the property to be nearly move in ready if desired.
