MLS Description of Property

Direct Riverfront Estate in Buttonwood Harbor, a gated luxury enclave along the Caloosahatchee River between Cape Coral and Fort Myers. This rare 0.51-acre parcel sits directly on the River with a groomed sandy white beach in the backyard and a private boat slip in the community-maintained canal—offering a lifestyle where every day feels effortless.

The 3,600 sq ft residence features an oversized 3-car garage, 4 Bedrooms, and 4 Full Bathrooms, anchored by a Standing Seam Metal Roof installed by Crowther Roofing in 2023—renowned for superior durability, wind resistance, and strong insurance appeal. Current policies reflect excellent insurability for a waterfront home, with flood coverage at $2,200/year and homeowners at $8,650/year.

The entire first floor was extensively remodeled with high-end finishes, including new engineered wood flooring, custom cabinetry, quartz countertops with a full kitchen backsplash, designer bath tile, new shower enclosures, 8’ solid-core interior doors, enhanced closet systems, and comprehensive plumbing and electrical upgrades. Sliding glass doors, drywall, paint, and finish carpentry were all refreshed, giving the main level a clean, refined, turnkey interior.

Upstairs, the primary suite—preserved with its original custom finishes—offers endless possibilities for you to personalize and create a sanctuary of your own.

Additional enhancements elevate both comfort and peace of mind: Electric roll-down shutters protect the southern exposure, while a whole-home generator with two underground propane tanks ensures uninterrupted power and provides instant heat to the open-air pool and spa. The propane system also fuels the poolside fire pit, creating the perfect setting for evenings by the water.

Living in Florida in a direct riverfront home is a dream come true at 12540 Panasoffkee Drive. Located just 10 minutes to Downtown Fort Myers, this boating community offers tennis and pickleball courts—close enough to stay connected, yet secluded enough to unwind and disconnect. Grab a good book and a cold drink; listen to the waves touch your private beach as you read. Host holidays with ease, with plentiful parking and generous gathering spaces. Live your best Florida life—the way it was meant to be lived.
