Property Description
Welcome to 5706 Sanibel Captiva Road — a truly exceptional offering on Sanibel Island's desirable West End. This massive 1.39-acre property is one of the rarest waterfront opportunities Sanibel has to offer, boasting 300+ linear feet of direct deep-water frontage that leads effortlessly to Pine Island Sound and the Gulf of America. Here, the water is alive — your backyard serves as nature's own highway for manatee, dolphin, a dazzling array of gamefish from Snook and Redfish to Snapper and Sheepshead, along with countless feathered passerby including Osprey, Hawks, and Bald Eagles. Adding to the allure, the seller already holds a permit to build a dock with lift for a 30+/- ft boat, creating a ready-made gateway to your boating adventures. A property survey, marine survey, engineering study, and architectural plans for a 3,000 sq. ft. elevated home have all been completed and can be transferred to the new owners — offering the opportunity to save significant time and money as you bring your island vision to life. Perfectly positioned on Sanibel's West End, you'll be immersed in laid-back island living while still just minutes (by foot or bike) from the island's best beaches, the historic Santiva neighborhood, Blind Pass, and Captiva Island's dining, boutique shopping, and touchstone landmarks like the Mucky Duck and historically registered “Island Store.” Nature surrounds you here — from the mangrove-lined canal and bayou waters to the pristine shell-laden Gulf shoreline. A new build on this remarkable site offers the potential for sweeping Gulf views over Silver Key and unforgettable sunsets over the preserve. Whether you're an avid boater, angler, beachcomber, or wildlife enthusiast, every day is an invitation to explore and connect with the island's extraordinary ecosystem and easy-going way of life. This is more than a property — it's a once-in-a-lifetime chance to create your personal paradise in one of Florida's most celebrated island communities. Secure this property today to capture your island dreams for a lifetime!
