5345 Nautilus Drive

Description

This exceptional riverfront estate presents a rare opportunity to acquire true estate-scale living with irreplaceable waterfront infrastructure—elements often overlooked or undervalued in comparable properties. Priced at just $423.50 per square foot, it represents an outstanding riverfront value south of the Cape Coral Parkway Bridge, offering true direct sailboat access for vessels with masts over 55 feet—an increasingly scarce advantage. The property also includes a transferable flood insurance policy of only $1,468 annually (btw the home had no flooding inside the residence). Set on an oversized nearly half-acre lot with sweeping Caloosahatchee River views, the residence spans 6,588 square feet of living space. Nearly every room in the southeast wing enjoys panoramic water vistas, all enhanced by hurricane-impact windows. Major capital improvements include a tile roof (2020), new A/C system (2025), and updated copper plumbing (2013). The main residence has no history of interior flooding, and the city completed canal dredging to approximately 8–10 feet roughly 15 years ago—supporting deep-water boating and long-term navigability. The boating amenities are exceptional and increasingly difficult to replicate under current regulations: • Two boat lifts, including a 40-foot lift • Dedicated jet ski lift • Captain’s walk • Direct Gulf access with no bridges Outdoor living is equally impressive, featuring a walk-down pool, tranquil koi pond with pump, mature avocado and mango trees, a rare specimen palm, and professionally landscaped grounds. Notably, all rear palm trees are fully within the property boundary. Inside, the home offers a refined blend of luxury and functionality, including: • Thermador appliances • Gas fireplace • Indoor spa with dedicated plumbing • Cedar sauna • Intercom system • Expansive primary walk-in closet • Additional attic storage • A dramatic 30-foot staircase and extended 10-foot architectural span • Impact sliders with shutters in the primary suite • All additions completed with hurricane-impact construction A circular paver driveway, expansive entertaining areas, and water views from nearly every major living space reinforce the estate-scale presence of the property—features that are increasingly rare and critical to long-term value. This is more than a home; it is a legacy riverfront compound offering land, depth, access, and infrastructure that cannot be easily recreated under today’s waterfront regulations without costly construction costs. To show the potential of this home it has been virtually staged. See it in person and imagine your life here. Don’t miss waterfront living at its best. Make 5345 Nautilus your next home.
