***MULTI-GENERATIONAL OPPORTUNITY. A 1.8 ACRE COASTAL COMPOUND WITH BEACH ACCESS AND ENDLESS POTENTIAL*** Tucked away along the quiet stretch of West Gulf Drive, this 1.8-acre property presents a rare opportunity to create a truly exceptional coastal estate in one of Sanibel Island's most desirable and private settings. Set beside protected conservation land and just moments from deeded beach access, the value here lies in what cannot be replicated: expansive acreage, privacy, elevation, and location. Originally built in 2005 by a general contractor for his family, with a high-elevation design, hurricane impact windows and doors, and a long-lasting metal roof, the property is structurally positioned for its next chapter. The existing layout features two separate living spaces connected by a breezeway, offering a flexible foundation for a custom multi-generational retreat, guest compound, or reimagined luxury residence. THIS IS FOR THOSE WITH VISION. The interiors require renovation, presenting the opportunity to design and curate every finish to your exact taste while capitalizing on the scale, layout, and irreplaceable setting. Outdoor living is where this property truly shines. Expansive porches and second-floor balconies overlook the serene West Sanibel River Preserve, delivering uninterrupted views of mangroves, wildlife, and protected natural beauty. Just a short walk or golf cart ride leads to the beach, where daily shelling, sunsets, and Gulf breezes become part of your lifestyle. Opportunities like this are increasingly rare on Sanibel, offering nearly two acres of land, dual living structures, privacy, and proximity to the beach. Whether you envision restoring, redesigning, or creating a completely reimagined coastal compound, this property offers the foundation to build something truly special. For those seeking potential, location, and the ability to create something exceptional for years to come... this is where it begins!
