Just off the Tamiami Trail, Winding Cypress combines the scenery of a nature preserve with the convenience and security of a gated community. Part of the Picayune Strand Forest surrounds the east side with thick trees and fills the neighborhood with egrets, turtles and other wildlife. A home in Winding Cypress also comes with access to on-site amenities and activities, from hobby club meetings to dinner at the exclusive clubhouse restaurant. “If you love the lifestyle of Florida, it’s like that island living, but it’s not crazy expensive like downtown Naples,” says Chelsi Murphy, the activities director for Winding Cypress, who has lived in Naples for 30 years. “It’s almost affordable luxury living; you get good bang for your buck.”
Winding Cypress has four brand new pickleball courts.
Winding Cypress is adjacent to the beautiful scenery of Picayune Strand Forest.
