Experience a side of Florida that’s becoming harder and harder to find. Nestled on 2 private acres along the historic Peace River, this peaceful getaway offers a rare blend of nature, privacy, and easy access to everything Southwest Florida has to offer. Developed by the property owner over the years and located at the end of a quiet road, you'll be the only guest staying on a street with just one resident. Wake up to birdsong instead of traffic, spend your days fishing or kayaking directly from the backyard, and enjoy some of the darkest night skies on Florida’s Gulf Coast. With no streetlights nearby, the stars, moon, and peaceful sounds of nature take center stage. The Peace River has long been known for world-class fishing, wildlife, and outdoor recreation. Local lore says even Ernest Hemingway traveled to this area in search of great fishing. Today, visitors come for the same timeless Florida experience—river adventures, hunting opportunities, wildlife viewing, and the relaxed pace of life that has largely disappeared elsewhere. Despite the secluded setting, you're just minutes from modern conveniences. Downtown Punta Gorda is only 8 miles away, while Interstate 75 is about 5 miles from the property, making it easy to explore nearby beaches, waterfront restaurants, nightlife, shopping, and destinations like Venice, Englewood, and Naples. Hosted by a retired businessman, sailor, and photographer who fell in love with the area's natural beauty, this property offers a genuine glimpse into what many call the "last Old Florida" on this stretch of coast. Think small-town charm, friendly locals, little traffic, and a slower pace of life reminiscent of a simpler era. Whether you're looking to fish, paddle the river, explore Southwest Florida, or simply relax beneath a sky full of stars, this peaceful riverside retreat is the perfect place to unplug and reconnect with nature.
