Build your dream island retreat at 4560 Butterfly Shell Dr on North Captiva Island, where architectural plans by Bud Lawrence have already been created for a stunning custom home designed specifically for this homesite. Located just a short walk from the Gulf, this property offers the opportunity to bring a thoughtfully designed island home to life while enjoying everything that makes North Captiva so special. Accessible only by boat or ferry, the island offers a true escape from the mainland with no cars and no bridges. Golf carts, sandy roads, miles of beaches, boating, fishing, shelling and unforgettable Gulf sunsets are all part of everyday life here. North Captiva also offers more than just the beach. Cruise over to Mango’s for lunch or a drink, stop by Coconuts for a laid-back island atmosphere, enjoy waterfront dining at Over the Waterfront, or grab essentials and island favorites without ever leaving the island. Ferry service from Pine Island makes getting to and from North Captiva convenient while still preserving the secluded feel that makes the island so unique. With Bud Lawrence home plans already prepared, 4560 Butterfly Shell Dr gives the next owner a head start toward creating a custom North Captiva residence. Whether envisioned as a private getaway, vacation home or future island retreat, this is an opportunity to own and build in one of Southwest Florida’s most distinctive barrier-island communities.
