Discover a true waterfront escape in unincorporated Matlacha Isles-where quiet island living, direct Gulf access, and upgraded coastal comfort come together in one rare property. This home sits on a deep, wide canal with no bridges, offering fast boat access to Matlacha Pass, Cayo Costa, Boca Grande, the mangroves, and some of Southwest Florida's best fishing and boating waters. The outdoor living space has been significantly improved for long-term peace of mind: in 2025 the boatlift was fully serviced with updated gears and electrical, a brand-new boat canopy was added, the dock was reinforced and repaired, and the seawall received structural reinforcement with fresh gravel along the shoreline. A heated pool allows year-round enjoyment, supported by a 2023 pool heater and a 2025 automatic-fill system that keeps the water level ideal without constant monitoring. New front and rear steps with updated railings were installed in 2024. Inside, natural light fills the home and highlights the open, relaxed layout with serene canal views from the main living spaces, creating the perfect setting for morning coffee by the pool, afternoon boat rides, and evenings watching the water glow at sunset. With unincorporated zoning, you gain flexibility and fewer restrictions than typical city-regulated properties. Matlacha Isles is known for its peaceful vibe, deep-water canals, incredible wildlife, quick access to the colorful Matlacha arts district, waterfront restaurants, kayaking routes, and the natural beauty of the surrounding aquatic preserves. Whether you're seeking a full-time island home, a winter getaway, or a waterfront retreat with strong lifestyle appeal, this upgraded and well-maintained property offers the rare opportunity to own in one of Southwest Florida's most distinctive boating communities.
