Lots For Sale in The Estates

World Class Luxury Real Estate

"World-class" sounds insufficient when one tries to describe the luxury homes that comprise The Estates area of Marco Island.  The homes here were built with little respect for budgets and compromise.  They were built with dreams driving the production and, as a result, some incredible masterpieces materialized.  The architecture, the landscaping, the site planning all have been refined to the maximum.  The views of Roberts Bay and Caxambas Pass are stunning.  When you own a home here, you have an asset in one of the most coveted places on Earth.

As an investment, The Estates may be one of the best in the coming decade.  Astute value buyers have watched what happened to the real estate values on Marco Island and all agree the market here is still over-sold and buying opportunities exist.  In the high-end luxury market, investors have been seizing these opportunities.  There have been several multi-million dollar sales recently, as the consensus remains that the market continues to show huge upside potential.

Boating and Fishing From The Estates

The waterfront lots and homes in The Estates neighborhood are all "water-direct." Ironically, this is an "indirect" way of saying, "no bridges" to go under on your way to the Gulf. Not only are you unrestricted in terms of boat height, the location of The Estates is only a short ride to the Gulf, as well. If chasing big fish out in the Gulf of Mexico isn't your style, the fishing is incredible just minutes south. The backwaters are full of Snook, Redfish and Sea Trout.

Or, forget fishing altogether and just go find your own private beach in The 10,000 Islands. The south end of Marco Island is the best when it comes to dolphin watching and pelican watching.

Fuel, food and supplies for your boat trips are all readily available at Caxambas Park.

The Mini Estates

Located just east of The Estates is a luxury neighborhood we refer to as The Mini Estates. Don't let the name fool you. There is nothing "mini" about these amazing properties.

Collingswood Avenue and S Heathwood Drive feed the fourteen fingers of land that make up the Mini Estates. The same quick water access that The Estates enjoy is here, as well. With the exception of only the string of properties that back up to the park on Winterberry Drive, all of the homes and lots are waterfront and "water-direct."

Five Things to Know

1. Not all of the property in The Estates is waterfront. While the non-waterfront lots can be as expensive as waterfront lots on other parts of the island, it may be just what you're looking for to build your dream home.
2. The Estates contain some of the highest ground on Marco Island. Some parts of Inlet Drive, Watson Road and Ludlow Road are high enough to preclude the need for flood insurance.
3. Beach Access is available at Residents' Beach or by purchasing a membership to the Marriott Resort.
4. If you'd like high ground with spectacular water views, the east side of Inlet Drive offers both - no boat docks, though.
5. Fuzzy Zoeller, Shania Twain and other celebrities have called The Estates home at one time or another.
