Pine Ridge Estates, 50 Cajeput Dr

This is where Pine Ridge's next landmark estate begins. Over the past few years, this neighborhood has become Naples' busiest stage for new luxury construction. Drive these streets and you'll see original 1970s ranches giving way to custom estates, one after another. Builders and buyers are betting on Pine Ridge, and the finished homes are coming to market in the eight figures. 50 Cajeput Drive sits on 1.2 acres in Pine Ridge, what sets this parcel apart is its southern exposure. In Southwest Florida that's the orientation buyers ask for first and rarely get: sun on the pool from morning to evening, a backyard that stays bright through the winter months, and a site plan built around light. Add the size and privacy of the lot, mature landscaping, and city water (uncommon in Pine Ridge), and you have a site ready for a serious architectural statement. Imagine a gated motor court, a resort-style pool facing the southern sun, a guest house, and a garage for the collector. The existing 1970 home gives you flexibility while you plan. The land is the real asset. You're minutes from the Gulf beaches, Waterside Shops, Mercato, and Fifth Avenue South, but Pine Ridge still feels like a private estate enclave. Prime south-facing acreage here is scarce, and it doesn't come back once it's built on. Don't wait, bring your architect today.
