Rare, Private Creekfront Retreat on 1.5 Acres with Gulf Access.
Imagine waking up to peaceful creek views, towering oak trees, and the quiet beauty of nature—yet still being minutes from everything Southwest Florida has to offer. This beautifully remodeled 3-bedroom + den, 2-bath concrete block home sits on a private 1.5-acre wooded lot directly adjacent to 100 acres of protected county preserve, offering exceptional privacy, wildlife sightings, and tranquil surroundings.

Launch a kayak, canoe, or small boat from your own backyard and explore Southwest Florida’s waterways while enjoying the peace of a private retreat.
The property is shaded by beautiful mature oak trees and features a charming gazebo—perfect for morning coffee, evening relaxation, or entertaining while overlooking the creek and natural surroundings.
