Property Description
Each home offers its own unique character and at least one — and in most cases two — large screened lanais, perfect for enjoying Florida's outdoor lifestyle year-round. The main home features 3 bedrooms + den, 2 bathrooms, and approximately 1,700 sq ft of living space. The second home offers 2 bedrooms + den and 1 bath (~900 sq ft), and the third is a charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage (~800 sq ft). All three residences are furnished and move-in ready, with private lanais and peaceful views of the lush grounds.
Additional structures include a 1,250 sq ft greenhouse, detached garage, cozy casita, and two 30-amp RV hookups — ideal for guests or expanding income potential. A communal firepit sits at the heart of the property, perfect for relaxing evenings under the oaks. There's also ample space to add a pool, pole barn, or additional buildings, allowing new owners to grow and customize this already impressive estate.
Zoned AG-2, the property supports a wide range of permitted uses, including short-term rentals (no minimum stay), bed & breakfast, agricultural operations, caretaker's residence, administrative office, and more. A meandering creek connects to the Caloosahatchee River, attracting wildlife such as owls, turtles, fish, and the occasional gator. The former owner, a botanist, curated the land with an extraordinary mix of tropical and native plantings — including starfruit, ginger, crotons, royal palms, and mature oaks that create a serene, park-like setting.
Currently, all three homes are active in short-term rental programs, providing immediate income and turnkey operation. The property is sold fully furnished, including a side-by-side Toro utility vehicle, Starlink internet system, private well, and a 1,000-gallon reverse-osmosis water system servicing the entire estate.
There is also tremendous opportunity to further increase revenue through enhanced rental management, event hosting, or additional on-site amenities — the possibilities are endless.
Located in beautiful Alva, Florida, this property combines rural charm with convenient access to nearby shopping, dining, and Southwest Florida's world-class beaches. Truly a must-see to appreciate its rare beauty, versatility, and income potential.
