Some properties offer room to build. Others offer a reason to escape. This three-parcel offering on 47th Avenue NW in Naples brings together approximately 7.54 acres in a natural setting at the edge of more than 40,000+ acres of protected lands. The properties are to be sold as is and together creating a compelling opportunity for the buyer who values privacy, open space, and a deeper connection to the outdoors. The three properties, located at 43, 67, and 89 47th Avenue NW, feature a landscape of cypress, native palms, pines, and wetland hardwoods that gives this setting its distinctive Old Florida character.
Here, the attraction is as much the surroundings as the land itself. Approximately five minutes from the Bird Rookery Swamp trails and ten minutes from Audubon’s Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, the property places birding, nature walks, wildlife photography, and quiet exploration close to home. Imagine mornings beneath the trees, afternoons exploring nearby trails, and evenings removed from the pace of everyday life. For the outdoor enthusiast, this is an opportunity to envision a personal sanctuary in a landscape where nature remains the defining feature. Considerable investment has already been made in planning, infrastructure, and site improvements. Underground electric has been extended to the property, with two transformers installed to serve the two previously planned residential sites. The seller’s improvement records also document exotic vegetation removal, surveying, environmental permitting and mitigation expenditures, building-pad preparation, a well, a septic system and drain field, two bird nesting platforms, a metal building, and a teak gazebo and boardwalk. Together, these efforts represent a substantial history of investment beyond the acquisition of the land itself.
Prior property plans received approval from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. The accompanying planning materials show proposed residential layouts for 67 and 89 47th Avenue NW, including access, well and septic locations, and an elevated boardwalk in the plans for 89. These materials provide useful background for the next owner’s vision; new or revised plans must be resubmitted for approval, and future development remains subject to applicable permitting requirements.
Whether the vision is a thoughtfully designed residence immersed in nature or a private escape from a more demanding daily routine, this offering invites a different measure of luxury: space, solitude, and the freedom to slow down. This is land for the buyer who wants more than an address—someone who wants a place to step away, breathe deeply, and experience the quieter side of Naples.
