Brand new in 2024. Gulf access. And the sunset comes with it.

This is a 2024 custom build by Hanson Homes, and it still feels brand new. Nothing needs updating and nothing needs explaining. The kitchen was designed for people who actually cook: double ovens, a walk-in pantry, and an island with room for the whole crew to gather while dinner comes together. Tray ceilings detail the main living areas, tile runs underfoot, and the laundry lives inside the house where it belongs.

Here is what almost nothing else on this canal system offers. Two true primary suites. Each one is private and each has its own full bath. Bring aging parents south without anyone surrendering their independence. Host in-laws for a month and stay on speaking terms. The den earns its keep too, with a real closet and certified building plans, so call it a fifth bedroom or claim it as the office you have been promising yourself.

Storm season looks different from inside this house. It sits in FEMA flood zone X, outside the flood hazard area, and every opening is protected by impact-resistant windows and doors. No shutters to hang, no flood premium shock. Insurance carriers notice. City water and sewer are connected, and there is no HOA, so there are no dues and nobody votes on what color your front door should be.

The oversized three-car garage runs 874 square feet, wider and deeper than standard because the builder offered the upgrade and these owners took it. In a state without basements, that space is the difference between a garage and a storage problem solved. The backyard is fully fenced with gates, so the dog and the little ones roam free while you watch from the heated saltwater pool and spa under the screened lanai.

The concrete seawall already runs the full 80 feet of water frontage, on a gulf-access canal that is 81 to 120 feet across, so the view reads more like a basin than a ditch. The shallowest point of the route runs about 6 feet, and bridge clearance is roughly 8 and a half feet, numbers worth knowing before you pick the boat.

Rather than guess what a dock costs, we had one drawn and priced for this exact seawall: a 260 square foot PVC-decked dock with a 10,000 pound aluminum boat lift, engineered drawing included. The estimate came in at $30,201 from a licensed marine contractor. Build that plan, change it, or design your own. The point is you inherit a blank, ready canvas instead of paying for somebody else's choices.

Cape Coral is built around more than 400 miles of canals, and the southwest Cape is where the newer, larger waterfront homes cluster. This stretch sits just south of Trafalgar Parkway: quiet streets, no through traffic, and water behind the houses. The Pine Island Road corridor is minutes north for groceries, restaurants, and everyday errands, and a neighborhood park with its own coffee shop is close enough to become a morning habit.

Trafalgar Elementary sits about a quarter mile away, close enough to walk. Middle and high school assignments run through Lee County's school choice program, so families pick from the zone's options.
