Gated golf course community with the Gulf of Mexico nearby
Spanish Wells is an active gated community nestled in the heart of Bonita Springs, surrounded by classic country club amenities and the natural attractions of Southwest Florida. Golf courses, tennis courts and a swimming pool are in the neighborhood, while city-maintained parks and downtown Bonita Springs are just a short drive away. With ample recreation, residents could choose to stay behind the 24-hour staffed gate, but the nearby Gulf of Mexico encourages outdoor excursions. “It’s a straight shot to the beach,” says Michelle Abner, local Realtor with John R. Wood Properties, Christie’s International. “It’s two miles away; that’s really the biggest thing.”

Residents enjoy launching a paddleboard or just kicking their feet back to bask in the year-round sunshine of Southwest Florida. Barefoot Beach is nearby, and while it may be a little hard to find, it offers a more intimate beachfront setting. “Getting there, you have to drive through what looks like a closed-off community,” says Dirk Fischer, real estate broker and owner of 5th Homes. “But it’s the most beautiful beach in Southwest Florida; it's really a hidden gem.”

Three-bedroom single-family houses sell from $700,000 to $1 million, although the price has increased in recent years. “After 2021, prices here shot up,” Fischer says. “With all the improvements to the community, the neighborhood really started gaining traction from the outside public.”
