55-plus gated community with a campground lifestyle
Corkscrew Woodlands is a 55-plus gated community in Estero with a unique layout featuring homes on perfectly circular streets. About 40 homes comprise each circle, with gardens and recreation centers in the middle. The design creates communities within a community and makes it easy for neighbors to get to know one another. "If you've ever camped, you understand the lifestyle, and that's what you're buying into," says Candace Farmer, a Realtor with Local Real Estate who specializes in selling manufactured homes. "People drive around in their golf carts, and they play pickleball and swim together. It's a very active community." Along with a central lake, two communitywide rec centers offer additional resort-style amenities and provide spaces for residents to socialize and gather for special events.
Corkscrew Woodlands is a unique neighborhood nestled in the heart of Estero, FL.

Manufactured and contemporary homes on circular streets
The residential circles are populated with two distinct options: Some feature contemporary homes and others manufactured homes. The contemporary homes are primarily two-bedroom, single-story dwellings that offer about 1,000 square feet of interior space. There are a few plans that offer three bedrooms, and the largest of those are multi-level homes that offer up to 1,600 square feet. Driveways, attached garages and back porches are standard features. Prices range from the low $300,000s to the mid-$400,000s. The manufactured homes offer one- and two-bedroom layouts. "I call them mobile home cottages," Farmer says. "And what's nice is you don't lease the land. You own the home and the land for under $200,000, which is a huge bargain for this area." These homes typically range from $125,000 to approaching $200,000 for the largest two-bedroom models along the lake. Palm trees dot the community, adding a tropical touch, and residents enjoy plenty of wildlife sightings amid the natural landscape of southwest Florida. Residents receive a monthly newsletter called The Woodlands, which provides information about the community, including upcoming events, such as luncheons, dances and more.

Activity is concentrated at a pair of community rec centers
The center of each circle has either a gazebo with a relaxing tropical garden or its own recreation center with resort-style amenities. The shared community centers allow all residents to stay active. They have access to a pool, fitness center, courts for tennis and pickleball and horseshoe pits. They also can relax at the spa. The central lake offers additional recreation, such as fishing and paddle-boating. Venturing outside the community, residents can take advantage of Estero Community Park's amenities. The lakefront setting offers paved walking paths, multi-purpose fields, a disc golf course and a dog run among its amenities. Golfers are well-positioned, as seven golf courses are located within a 5-mile radius, including the Stoneybrook Golf Community's public, 18-hole layout adjacent to Corkscrew Woodlands. The beaches of Bonita Springs are less than 10 miles away, and boaters can enjoy nautical adventures in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Fort Myers about 20 miles away.
Corkscrew Woodlands has several amenities including a swimming pool and tennis courts.
