Property Description
Premier opportunity offered on Lighthouse Way, one of Sanibel's most premier East End streets, this property presents a rare opportunity to create a custom waterfront residence in a location where finished homes consistently command top-tier value. Just minutes to the Gulf with deep-water, direct-access boating, the property features a seawall, generous dock area, a 16,000-lb boat lift, and two additional davits, a true boater's setup seldom available on the East End. The home offers all-concrete block construction on both the first and second floors, providing a solid structural base for future plans. A new $90,000 commercial-grade standing-seam metal roof and fascia are already in place, representing a significant investment and a meaningful head start for the next owner. Outdoor elements include a pool and spa footprint, mature tropical landscaping, and space for outdoor living and entertaining, ready to be reimagined to today's standards. The East End location allows for easy on-and-off island access, avoiding mid-island traffic, while remaining within walking distance to the Sanibel Lighthouse, beaches, restaurants, shops, and local favorites. This is a rare chance to secure a Lighthouse Way address with direct Gulf access and build or renovate to suit your vision. Owner financing available.
