Experience the engineered peace of mind and golf-course beauty of 1073 Sand Castle Rd, an expertly renovated 3BR/2BA home offering 2,179 sq ft in Sanibel’s desirable Dunes community. Overlooking the 3rd fairway and lake, this high-elevation lot home blends luxury finishes with uncommon structural confidence. Set on a certified lot elevation of 6.47 ft above sea level, it features a new metal roof, full impact-rated doors and windows, and a comprehensive flood-protection system including 45" Watergate flood and storm surge barriers (bringing the home and barriers to 10.22 ft above sea level) as well as a whole-home backwater valve installed at the main line—automatically sealing to prevent any reverse flow before water can enter the home’s drains. Together, these systems provide protection engineered beyond FEMA’s coastal resilience benchmarks. Inside, nearly everything has been rebuilt new and upscale -- transforming this residence into a modern island home with the confidence of new construction. A reimagined open kitchen anchors the living space, featuring custom cabinetry, upscale stainless appliances, full quartz countertops and backsplash, and elegant task lighting. Both bathrooms were completely rebuilt with designer tile, frameless glass showers, new vanities, fixtures, and flooring. Every surface and system has been renewed, including luxury vinyl plank floors throughout, all new interior doors and hardware, new electrical and lighting throughout, and a brand-new HVAC system with UV air purification for enhanced indoor air quality. The 350 sq ft glass-enclosed Florida sunroom, fully integrated under air, offers panoramic golf and lake views—perfect for relaxed mornings or sunset entertaining in total comfort. All just a short walk or golf-cart ride to The Dunes Golf & Tennis Club and pool. Rebuilt from the inside out, this home unites new-construction quality with precision craftsmanship and coastal engineering—delivering lasting comfort, security, and style.
