    Investment Insights

    Based on property information with market context.

    Located in the Caloosahatchee River within the Miserable Mile at Marker 93, just south of Tarpon Point Marina, Little Shell Island offers approximately 0.7 acres of natural beauty. This private island is surrounded by calm waters and breathtaking views. Zoned AG-2, the property offers a range of potential uses. City and County staff have previously recognized the inherent challenges of island development and have granted a variance waiving the standard setback conditions typically required along similar waterbodies in Southwest Florida. Accessible only by boat, Little Shell Island offers a secluded retreat. The island has a colorful history, once serving as a popular restaurant destination for locals and passing boaters in the 1970s and 1980s. A previous dock serviced the island, and there may be an opportunity to rebuild, subject to permitting. Additionally, the current owner had previously applied for a variance to build a solar-powered lighthouse-style structure featuring a one-bedroom residence. The property presents an opportunity to create something special, with potential for a private escape, an eco-resort concept, or a return to commercial hospitality.

    Key Highlights

    • Private island (.7 acres) in the Caloosahatchee River.
    • Zoned AG‑2, offering a wide range of potential uses.
    • Variance granted waiving standard setback conditions.
