Exquisite Luxury Riverfront Estate in Alva! Welcome to this remarkable riverfront estate nestled on nearly 6 acres of pristine land in the heart of Alva. This one-of-a-kind property boasts two beautifully renovated residences, offering a unique blend of luxury living, privacy, and income potential. Main Residence: The primary home features 3 spacious bedrooms and 2 modern bathrooms, with 1,742 sq. ft. of thoughtfully designed living space. Recently renovated throughout, it showcases cathedral ceilings with exposed wood beams, impact-resistant windows, and an expansive screened balcony offering panoramic views of the Caloosahatchee River. The gourmet kitchen is outfitted with top-of-the-line appliances, sleek finishes, and custom cabinetry.

Currently operating as a highly successful vacation rental, this guest house offers excellent income-generating potential while maintaining privacy thanks to the generous acreage separating the two homes.
