440 Useppa IslandCaptiva, FL 33924Price: $750,000

This oversized lot 440 in the Collier Preserve section of Useppa Island boasts 150 feet of water frontage on Pine Island Sound. Sharing a 2-slip dock with the adjacent owner, soo the boating life is conveniently at your doorstep. Useppa Island Club and Marina is a private community and members-only club. With no need for gates or walls, it is surrounded by water, in the pristine Pine Island Sound and Charlotte Harbor aquatic preserves. Geographically it is in the same chain of barrier islands as Sanibel-Captiva, visible to the south, although one island east of the Gulf. Accessible only by boat (or aircraft), the commute to the mainland is in a special class of its own. Just a 15-minute joyful boat ride will deliver you to Boca Grande or Pine Island, and thence to all “civilized” conveniences of the mainland. The commute is special in a way that you will never tire of it. Just think-you are not stuck in traffic, or waiting for a light to change, fretting over the packed roads ahead. You are just watching the dolphins play and the birds dive, waving to passing boats with smiling passengers. Yes, not like the mainland! You might be sitting next to one of your Useppa neighbors, who has all their goods delivered to the Shore Port, where the staff will transport them to the island, and her home. Who said it is inconvenient when you don't have roads? And this beautiful lot will let you build the house of your dreams and join the ranks of the smart and lucky who have already landed on Useppa as a lifestyle choice.
