Coming December 2026, this new-construction block home pairs an open, light-filled layout with a private inground concrete pool, the indoor-outdoor living Southwest Florida is known for. The home offers 2,249 sq ft of living space, and 3,340 sq ft under roof including the garage, lanai and covered entry. A covered entry with double doors opens to a spacious foyer with soaring 12' high ceilings. The great room, dining area and kitchen flow together under 13' tray ceilings. The kitchen has a large center island, a wall oven and a convenient laundry room nearby. Wide sliding glass doors open the living areas to a covered lanai with a built-in grill, overlooking the inground concrete pool. It's a setting made for entertaining, relaxing and year-round enjoyment. The owner's suite is a true retreat, with a tray ceiling, a walk-in closet and a bath with a walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms sit on the opposite side of the home for privacy, each with convenient bath access. A separate den offers flexible space for a home office, study or media room. A pool bath with exterior access means guests can come in from the pool without tracking through the house. Built with concrete block construction and a hip roof, the home is engineered for Florida living, with a 3-car garage for vehicles, storage or hobbies. Set in the deed-restricted South Gulf Cove community on Cape Haze, the home puts Southwest Florida's best outdoor living close at hand. Beaches: Englewood Beach and Stump Pass Beach State Park on Manasota Key are a short drive away. You're also close to the bridge to Boca Grande, with beaches on Gasparilla Island. Boating and fishing: South Gulf Cove's canal system connects to the Myakka River and Charlotte Harbor, with Boca Grande Pass and the Gulf of Mexico beyond. The harbor is known for snook, tarpon and cobia fishing. The community's public South Gulf Cove Park boat ramp is the closest launch. Golf: Several courses are nearby. Rotonda Golf & Country Club offers 36 holes across three courses, and The Cove of Rotonda Golf Center and Riverwood Golf Club are also close. Parks and entertainment: Enjoy Charlotte Harbor Preserve State Park and Tippecanoe Environmental Park for trails and wildlife.
