Description

SAILBOAT ACCESS, NO BRIDGES. That combination is the top tier of Southwest Florida waterfront, and it is what you get at 10868 McAlester Cir in South Gulf Cove. This .23 acre homesite measures a full 10,000 square feet, 80 feet of road and canal frontage by 125 feet deep, on the Winnipeg Waterway. From your dock you run out to the wide outer canal, into the neighborhood lagoon, then through the community lock into Charlotte Harbor where the Myakka and Peace Rivers meet, and lead out to the Gulf. No bridges to duck, no mast to drop, no limits on the boat you buy.Public water and sewer are available to build. Zoning is RSF-3.5, Charlotte County's residential single-family district, which means one single-family home for each lot and expressly permits swimming pools and similar backyard recreation. There is ample room here for a large custom home with a screened lanai and a pool out back overlooking the canal.Two green lights heading into permitting: the property is NOT located in a Scrub Jay review area, and the National Wetland Inventory mapper shows no wetlands on site.South Gulf Cove is one of Florida's premier boating communities, built around roughly 55 miles of navigable canals. The community's own park features a public boat ramp along with fishing, picnic shelters, BBQ grills, a playground, and restrooms, and there is a recreation center and additional parks throughout. The homeowners association is OPTIONAL at roughly $120 a year, with an optional yacht club as well, so you buy in on your own terms.Golfers are exceptionally well placed. The five distinct courses at Rotonda Golf and Country Club, the Palms, Pinemoor, Hills, Links, and Long Marsh, sit minutes up the road, with dozens more across Englewood, Port Charlotte, and North Port. You can genuinely play a different course every day of the week without leaving the area.Beach days are short from here. Englewood Beach, Manasota Key, and the Old Florida charm of Boca Grande are all roughly 15 to 20 minutes away. Baseball fans have Charlotte Sports Park, spring training home of the Tampa Bay Rays, about 15 to 20 minutes out, and CoolToday Park in Wellen Park, home of the Atlanta Braves, a short drive north.Shopping, restaurants, grocery stores, schools, churches, and medical care are all close. I-75 is roughly 25 to 30 minutes for easy travel north and south throughout the state. Punta Gorda Airport is a short drive for regional flights, and Fort Myers International (RSW) runs about an hour for longer trips and arriving guests.Sailboat access with no bridges, utilities in place, and an optional HOA. Waterfront like this is finite.
