Exceptional Double-Lot Island Retreat! Ideally positioned on a rare double lot, this beautifully maintained North Captiva Island home offers enhanced privacy, extra space, and low-maintenance coastal living. This North Captiva retreat offers more than just a home; it presents a rare opportunity for the lucky buyer to own an exclusive separate membership in Captiva Castaway Beach. Just a short, scenic stroll from your front door, this membership grants you deeded access to arguably the finest 'sugar sand' private beach on the island. Enjoy this ultimate Gulf-front luxury beach with its pristine, secluded shoreline reserved for a select few, ensuring your piece of paradise remains private and protected for years to come. Designed with a reverse floorplan, the home is filled with natural light and opens to lush tropical surroundings. The main living area, with its full-length sliding glass wall, allows the inside to flow seamlessly onto a spacious screened lanai (with premium “no-see-um” screen comfort) for bug-free open-air entertaining, lounging on the double hammock, or just enjoying the soft gulf breezes, creating indoor-outdoor living ideal for any occasion. The galley-style kitchen features a generous dining bar and walk-in pantry, while two private primary suites with en-suite baths and walk-in showers offer comfort and privacy. A versatile bunk room serves as a fourth sleeping area for additional guests. Extensive exterior “maintenance-free” recent upgrades set this home apart: impact-resistant doors and sliders, PGT energy-efficient low-E impact windows, composite decking, powder-coated aluminum railings, and premium composite siding (rated for up to 150-mph winds) that you never need to paint! Additional improvements include a new roof with transferable warranty, energy-efficient HVAC systems with Wi-Fi thermostats, and updated appliances—delivering durability and low-maintenance ownership so you can spend more time on the beach and less time working on your house. Let your imagination wander! Create your personalized island paradise, as the adjacent surveyed lot, cleared free of Brazilian pepper, provides valuable flexibility—ideal for lush gardens, a swimming pool, a 2nd guest house or creating an even larger private compound. Conveniently located near the beach access, ferry landing, and island amenities, this property has a history of strong rental potential. A rare opportunity to own a double-lot island home with upgrades, privacy, and expansion potential—all offered well below reconstruction cost.
