This is a very rare opportunity, never before available, to build your dream home on a newly available lot literally one parcel back from the beach and behind a private gated entrance on Sanibel's famous and convenient East End. Sometimes setbacks present new opportunities. The older cottage that was previously on this site was damaged by Hurricane Ian and is being removed. What will be left is an extremely rare buildable lot, Behind the Gated of Colony Beach Estates, where a new home should have stunning Beach and Gulf views from multiple rooms and is literally just steps to the sugar sand world renown beach. The property lies within the Gulf Beach Ridge Ecological zone allowing for 25% (approximately 4,700 + sqft.) impervious and 30% (approximately 5,700 + sqft.)developed area coverage. This is a great building envelope for a new beachside home with stunning Gulf views, built to the newest codes, and offering the opportunity to create your very own modern beachside luxury.
