13230 Linton RD FORT MYERS, FL 33908
LISTING #2026033951More than a waterfront home, this extraordinary gated estate spans roughly 2 private acres along the Caloosahatchee River, combining panoramic sunset views, quick Gulf access, a natural lagoon flowing beneath the residence and Caribbean-Coastal inspired luxury in a setting unlike anything else on the Fort Myers waterfront. A long, winding, palm-lined drive introduces a rare sense of privacy and scale close to town. Surrounded by lush tropical grounds and water on multiple sides, the property features a natural cut from the river that travels alongside and beneath the home, creating a secluded lagoon-like environment reminiscent of a private island retreat. Completely redesigned by Clive Daniel, the residence pairs exceptional craftsmanship and refined materials with comfortable, casual luxury. All-concrete construction and weather-resistant materials provide a substantial foundation for waterfront living. European white oak floors, soaring beamed ceilings and walls of glass fill the interiors with natural light while maintaining a constant connection to the river. The expansive great room offers a fireplace, multiple gathering areas, generous dining space and remarkable water views. The chef's kitchen features state-of-the-art appliances, an oversized gathering bar and a separate full-service prep kitchen with additional ovens, refrigeration and cabinetry, ideal for entertaining or catered events. The impressive primary suite is a private waterfront sanctuary with dramatic ceilings, a spacious sitting area, dual walk-in closets with custom built-ins and a luxurious bath with separate vanities, shower and soaking tub. Generous, privately positioned guest suites each feature an en-suite bath, with two enjoying beautiful water views. Balconies and terraces extend the living spaces outdoors, including a large screened patio and two spiral staircases leading to an expansive rooftop sun deck with commanding river and sunset views. A resort-style pool and spa are surrounded by tropical landscaping and generous outdoor entertaining areas. Beneath the residence, the sheltered lagoon and extensive dock space offer exceptional potential to create the ultimate setup for yachts, fishing boats and personal watercraft. Automobile enthusiasts will appreciate the existing 4 to 6-car garage, providing substantial space for a prized collection and additional storage. The estate also offers tremendous flexibility for future expansion, whether envisioned as an addition to the primary residence, guest house with additional garage space, tennis or pickleball court, or private recreational compound, subject to applicable approvals. Private yet convenient to downtown Fort Myers, Bonita, Naples, beaches, dining and entertainment, with the bay, Gulf and barrier islands quickly accessible by boat. This is a singular waterfront estate defined by land, water, privacy, architecture and possibility.
