* All or Part - Subdividable

 Nature Lovers Dream!  This is some of the last unspoiled and real  "Old Florida"  remaining!  Absolutely beautiful; this homestead property boasts of nearly 1,000 ft. on Fichters Creek, as well as 1/4 mile of private paved road frontage and a gated entry. Literally ride your horse out the front gate and into the 768 acre Caloosahatchee Regional Park, which in addition to equestrian facilities*, also includes camping, hiking, and kayaking. The north end of the property borders a 74,000 acre preserve recently aquired for conservation.   Of course without leaving your own private property you can follow along the various hiking and riding trails, as abundant wildlife can be found enjoying the spring fed creek.

* With the equestrian trails in the park next door, this is ideal income producing property, should you want to board horses.  Additionally, the property is currently under Greenbelt; an agricultural excemption set asside for bonafide commercial agricultral use.

The upstairs master overlooks the northern 7 acres with its native cypress and oak hammocks.   The master also includes 3 walk- in closets, tongue & grooved cypress ceilings throughout the bed, bath, and separate sitting area, as well as the srceened lania. The kitchen, and the butler's pantry located just off the dining room, have hand crafted solid oak cabinets and solid surface counter tops. Dining room and master bedroom furniture is all hand crafted Amish and is available with the home.  Enjoy his & her separate office areas; One is actually a loft overlooking the great room, with its own half bath, and could be used as an additional guest bedroom.  Dual zone HVAC. Security systems in both home & barn workshop. Professional landscaping & irrigation. Air conditioned garage.  There is a garden shanty attached to the home, as well as a separate 10' x 14' out building/pump house that is also air conditioned.  The barn measures 55' x 85' and is constructed from ruff sawn pressure treated pine, Hardi-Plank lap siding and is complete with tack & feed room, 4 stalls, a functional cupola and two 200 sq.ft storage/hay lofts.  The barn's work shop is air conditioned with full bath and office facilities.  All structures utilize the maintenance-free Galvalum metal roof system.

The Alva school system, located just 4 miles away, consists of both an elementary & middle school which are some of the best in the area. There is also the Alva Community Center and Alva Park next to the school, complete with ball fields and tennis courts.

When not catching Bass & Snook (seasonal) in your own back yard, the WP Franklin Lock Recreation Area is also located less than 2 miles away and offers public camping, boat ramps and fishing. Just 10 minutes from I-75, yet a world away out in the country.

As a lifelong resident of this area, I can assure you that this property is one of a kind! I have spent the past 29 years building this park-like setting with my own 2 hands.
