$4,750,000

This secluded Captiva Island estate unfolds like a secret whispered along the shores of Roosevelt Channel, where privacy and natural beauty blend into an atmosphere of pure coastal enchantment. Approached by a modest shell drive softened by lush vegetation, the entrance is marked only by a discreet sign: Le Jardin:… Read More The Garden. It is an invitation into another world, where tropical abundance greets you in every direction. Swaying palms, fragrant citrus groves, and vivid blooms guide your journey through nearly two acres of waterfront paradise. As the winding drive gently curves beneath the canopy of greenery, the estate slowly reveals itself. At its heart stands an exquisite Old Florida inspired residence, perfectly poised along the serene waters of the channel. With three bedrooms and two and a half baths, the main home evokes the timeless romance of Florida’s classic coastal architecture, offering stunning water views from almost every room. Inside, the expansive kitchen becomes a natural gathering place, centered around a gas range ideal for culinary celebrations. Here, lingering conversations unfold beside the warmth of the fireplace, while large porches just beyond invite you to breathe in the salt-kissed breeze and watch as dolphins play and boats drift by in the afternoon sun. Steps from the water, your private dock extends into the channel, complete with two boat lifts ready to host your adventures. The days here are effortlessly filled with the best of island living: setting out on the boat to fish or explore nearby islands, cruising to waterfront restaurants, or slipping a kayak into the calm blue water to paddle toward the untouched sanctuary of Buck Key just across the channel. For quieter moments, a thatched tiki hut offers peaceful shade along the shoreline where you can savor the stillness of the island. Meandering deeper into the property, you arrive at the charming two bedroom pool house. Beamed ceilings soar above a warm, inviting space anchored by a stone fireplace. A cozy kitchenette, relaxed seating areas, and game spaces encircle the screened swimming pool, creating a private oasis for effortless entertaining and unforgettable gatherings. Further along the shell path, a generous garage and storage building awaits, designed to shelter everything from bicycles and beach gear to kayaks and boating essentials. At the very end of the lane, tucked elegantly within the gardens, sits a picturesque guest cottage complete with a full kitchen, living room, bedroom, and bath. It is an intimate hideaway perfect for visiting friends or attentive caretakers, enveloped in the tranquility of nature. Le Jardin is more than an estate; it is an experience. A retreat where the rhythm of island life guides each day and the outside world feels wonderfully distant. Here, time slows, the air sweetens, and the hurried pace of life is gently set aside at the entrance to your extraordinary garden sanctuary. Read Less
