Paradise found on 23+ acres of Sanibel history. Almost an island on an island. 1600 feet (1/4 mile) of Bay frontage once known as Reed’s Landing; home of Sanibel’s first post office, the Sanibel House hotel & the shipping docks. Time has stood still here & privacy abounds. What a place to social distance!

Almost an island on an island. 1600 feet (1/4 mile) of Bay frontage once known as Reed’s Landing; home of Sanibel’s first post office, the Sanibel House hotel & the shipping docks. Time has stood still here & privacy abounds. What a place to social distance! Mesmerizing bay views transfix you in this 4 bed, 4 bath Old Florida home flooding it w/natural light, soaring cypress ceilings with windowed cupola, oak floors throughout, huge pool/spa, 2 story pool cage, elevator, tennis court, wrap-around Trex decks, spacious lanai with glass sliders overlooking the bay. Plenty of space to work remotely with an office in the home as well as a custom-designed separate, private guest suite/office. High-speed ethernet wired data cable throughout & WiFi capabilities. Video security. The best part: A 200’ long Trex dock with 2 boat lifts – a rarity on the Bay that is no longer allowed. This is grandfathered in. Furnished with exceptions. A real boater's - or mermaid's dream. This is the rarest of the rare on Sanibel to be appreciated by a true lover of the islands & privacy. Go to www.sanibelbayviewparadise.com for more information.
