4521 Smugglers Dr Captiva, FL 33924
Estimated payment $928/month
About This Lot
Here's your opportunity to own a piece of one of Southwest Florida's most coveted private islands. This vacant lot on Smugglers Lane offers a clean slate to build your custom island retreat on North Captiva — a boat-access-only barrier island where the pace slows, the crowds disappear, and the Florida you've been searching for actually exists.
No bridge. No cars. No worries. North Captiva is one of the last truly undeveloped islands in Lee County, and this lot sits on a fantastic walkable location — steps from the beach, where bare feet replace car keys and the Gulf is always within reach. Whether you're envisioning an elevated coastal home, a private fishing retreat, or a high-performing vacation rental, this lot delivers the fundamentals: a prime island address, a natural setting, and the kind of scarcity that protects long-term value. Short-term rental demand on North Captiva is strong and new construction commands premium nightly rates. Details on the building process, preferred island contractors, and revenue potential are available upon request
