17021 Upriver Dr Lot 198, North Fort Myers, FL 33917

Maybe You've Reached the Point Where Less House Means More Life. Some people buy square footage. Others buy the view. Imagine morning coffee overlooking the canal, fishing from your private dock, boating on the Caloosahatchee River, and ending the day watching the sunset from your patio. This isn't about downsizing. It's about right-sizing your life. Whether you're retiring, working remotely, becoming an empty nester, or simply looking for a more relaxed way to enjoy Southwest Florida, this home offers something that's becoming harder to find—an affordable canal-front lifestyle. One of the reasons I bought this home wasn't just the location—it was the feeling. The peaceful canal, friendly neighbors, and relaxed pace of life made Upriver feel like home almost immediately. The only reason I'm selling is because unexpected family circumstances require me to permanently return to Canada. Otherwise, I would happily stay and continue enjoying this wonderful community.
