Picture yourself standing on your porch, salt air surrounds you, the rhythmic sound of waves lapping the shoreline just beyond the dunes. Every evening, the sky melts into golds and pinks over the Gulf—right from your own front-row seat. This slightly oversized 0.27-acre homesite in the desirable North Captiva Dunes neighborhood offers the perfect canvas to design your dream island escape. With ample space for a large luxury home, pool, and outdoor entertainment area, you can create the retreat you've always imagined. A short stroll to the beach and the 350-acre state preserve, you'll have access to miles of hiking trails, untouched coastline, and a long crescent-shaped beach where you can sometimes wander for hours without another person in sight. One of the few remaining vacant lots this close to the beach, this property is a prime opportunity to create a legacy home on a hidden gem of an island that has yet to be truly discovered. The adjacent lot to the west is also available for purchase, creating a fantastic and unique estate package.
