Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This waterfront residential development site offers a prepared foundation for a custom home on the banks of Clam Bayou. The property includes a cleared building site, an existing in-ground pool, and a newly constructed private dock. With nearly one acre of land (0.859 acres per the listing), the setting is positioned for water views across protected waters and surrounding natural habitat.
The property is located within the Ecological Zone Upland Wetland (D2). The listing reports approximately 25% allowable impervious coverage and 30% allowable developed-area coverage, based on the Lee County Property Appraiser’s reported lot size of 37,407 square feet.
A dock provides direct access to the surrounding waterways, supporting private recreation by small boat and paddle craft from the property itself. The combination of existing site improvements and stated development-coverage limits creates a straightforward starting point for planning a residence that fits within the property’s environmental framework.
