ONE-OF-A-KIND NATURE LOVER'S RETREAT! Registered with the National Wildlife Federation as a certified botanical wildlife habitat since 2007, this San Carlos Park home is a rare find for buyers seeking privacy, character, and everyday comfort. NO FLOOD ZONE and set on an oversized .30-acre homesite, this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath home

with a 2-car garage offers an open split-bedroom floor plan with soaring cathedral ceilings, a comfortable flow for daily living, and a mix of hardwood flooring, travertine, ceramic plank tile, and select carpeted spaces. Major updates add peace of mind, including a NEW ROOF in 2022 and electric SOLAR PANELS for energy efficiency.

The true centerpiece is the backyard, an enchanting botanical retreat where meandering pathways, vine-covered arbors, fragrant jasmine, lush tropical landscaping, and a multi-level pond system create a setting that feels more like a private resort than a residential yard.

Water plants provide natural filtration through cascading waterfalls that flow into a goldfish pond beneath a charming bridge, framed by bright yellow water lilies and frequent visits from butterflies, dragonflies, and birds. A custom screened butterfly cabinet on the lanai has been used to incubate and release over 1,000 butterflies per year and may convey with the home.

With a 66-foot buffer/preserve beyond the rear fence, the outdoor space feels incredibly secluded, making it ideal for entertaining, relaxing, gardening, or simply enjoying the view. Host friends on the spacious open deck, grill with ease using the custom-built charcoal grill with propane starter, gather around the firepit after sunset, or cool off in the above-ground pool while surrounded by your own tropical sanctuary.

An oversized driveway and additional gravel parking offer plenty of room for family and guests. Ideally located close to US-41, you'll enjoy effortless access to Southwest Florida's best beaches, dining, grocery options, Hertz Arena, Miromar Outlets, Coconut Point, I-75, RSW Airport, Estero, Bonita Springs, and Naples. This is not just another home-it is a one-of-a-kind retreat filled with beauty, privacy, and a true connection to nature.
