5697 Bay Point Road $950,000

Tucked away on 2.58 private acres in Bokeelia, this striking Pine Island estate delivers a rare combination of structural resilience, elegant design, and natural tranquility. Originally built in 1984, the home was completely rebuilt in 2006 with a deep emphasis on hurricane protection and longevity, blending modern engineering with warm, upscale finishes. Spanning nearly 4,000 square feet under air, the three-story residence offers five spacious bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and a flexible den or office space. A separate wing with two bedrooms and a private entrance is ideal for extended family, guests, or potential rental use. Large impact-resistant windows throughout the home offer serene views of the spring-fed pond, pool, and wooded surroundings while maximizing energy efficiency and natural light. Designed with extreme weather in mind, the home is elevated on 18 concrete pilings and fortified by a metal threaded rod system that connects the foundation to the roof for exceptional wind resistance. The roof and impact windows are newer, and the only remaining structure from the original build is a solid concrete block garage from 2002. Interior spaces are both refined and practical. Travertine stone floors with mosaic and granite accents highlight the main level, while bamboo flooring warms the bedrooms. The open-concept design includes multiple living areas such as a family room, great room, loft, and screened lanai. The kitchen is outfitted with a gas cooktop, double wall ovens, stainless appliances, granite countertops, and reverse osmosis filtration. Adjacent dining areas include both casual and formal options, all framed by custom cabinetry and ample pantry space. The primary suite features a spa-style bathroom with a jetted tub, walk-in shower, and dual vanities. Additional bedrooms are well-separated for privacy and comfort. Bathrooms are finished with tasteful tile and high-end fixtures. Outdoor living is a highlight, with a large screened-in lanai surrounding a gas-heated pool and spa. The concrete pool deck faces the tranquil spring-fed pond and tropical landscape. Other features include a patio, fruit trees, fenced sections, and an outdoor shower. The four-car, air-conditioned garage provides extensive storage with space for an RV or boat. A 500-gallon buried propane tank supports the gas systems. Additional utilities include central HVAC, a tankless water heater, security system, high-speed internet wiring, and modern plumbing. With a 337' x 337' lot in a no-HOA community, the property offers unmatched freedom and space for future expansion, gardens, or recreation. Located on a quiet street yet within reach of Pine Island amenities, this home blends retreat-style living with daily convenience. A rare opportunity to own a structurally fortified, elegantly appointed, and beautifully situated home in one of Florida’s last truly peaceful coastal communities.
