One of only two new construction homes currently available on all of Sanibel Island, this brand-new (2026 Yr Built) Coastal Contemporary residence presents an exceptionally rare opportunity to own a newly built island retreat just moments from Sanibel’s world-renowned shell-strewn beaches and turquoise Gulf waters. Recently praised by Southern Living as an “old-school beach town” with “near-perfect weather” and “pristine” sands, Sanibel’s timeless coastal charm is beautifully reflected in this thoughtfully designed home. Built to the latest construction standards for durability, longevity, and peace of mind, this elevated residence features solid concrete construction with a concrete base and pilings, a standing seam metal roof, impact-resistant windows and doors, custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, premium tilework, and a sophisticated coastal-inspired palette. Soaring ceilings, expansive windows, and an airy open floor plan fill the home with abundant natural light and invite in refreshing Gulf breezes, creating a bright and tranquil island sanctuary. Designed for both comfort and future flexibility, the home includes a pre-planned elevator shaft and an inviting outdoor living space complete with a private pool—perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach. Ideally located in one of Sanibel’s highly sought-after East End neighborhoods, residents enjoy exceptional proximity to the beach, the causeway, and the very best of island living. A rare chance to enjoy the ease, efficiency, and beauty of brand-new construction in one of Southwest Florida’s most beloved coastal destinations.
