16500 Captiva Drive $6,995,000

Captiva Gold Coast sanctuary, where coastal luxury meets wellness living. Welcome to one of Captiva Island’s offerings—a private, contemporary estate tucked away at the end of a winding 200-foot drive, set on 1.3 acres along the elite Gold Coast. With 100 feet of direct Gulf frontage and unobstructed western exposure, this is a front-row seat to nature’s most spectacular show with nightly sunsets over the water. Thoughtfully designed for the wellness-minded, the home centers around an open-air solarium—an architectural centerpiece featuring a 44-foot lap pool that invites morning swims, cold-plunge recovery or meditative moments surrounded by sea air. Two casita-style guest suites, each with private entrances from the solarium, offer luxurious privacy for family and friends, evoking the intimacy of a boutique retreat. For the investment-minded property owner, this home has an established track record of repeat rentals that have consistently generated approximately $600,000 annually in gross rents. The flexibility of the space and the fact that every bedroom has a dedicated bath ensure the home remains a popular short-term rental. This low-profile contemporary residence channels the spirit of mid-century California beach bungalows, with clean lines, organic textures, and a seamless flow between indoor serenity and outdoor splendor. Deeded walking access to Roosevelt Channel adds yet another layer of coastal freedom to this already rare property. Zoned RSC-2, this estate is more than just a home, it’s a foundation for legacy living. The expansive grounds offer space for a guest house, caretaker’s cottage, resort-style pool, pickleball court or freestanding pool house cabana with a full gym. Here, possibilities aren’t limited—they’re invited. For those who measure time in sunsets, long dinners and quiet luxury, this is your canvas.
