Imagine beginning your mornings on the lanai with a latte in hand as the first light stretches across the canal and the water quietly comes to life. Egrets and herons work the shoreline, roseate spoonbills add a flash of pink, and you may even catch a bald eagle soaring overhead. Welcome to South Gulf Cove — a true waterfront community where life naturally revolves around the water.

This just-under-a-quarter-acre homesite offers about 80 feet of waterfront along the Fond du Lac Waterway, with sailboat water and access through South Gulf Cove’s extensive canal system to the Myakka River, Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf of Mexico. Just imagine casting off from your own backyard and heading out whenever the water calls.


There’s plenty of room to envision a sparkling blue pool, generous outdoor living space and a lanai overlooking the canal. Public water and sewer are available, and with no designated builder, you have the freedom to choose your own builder and create the Southwest Florida island-life waterfront living you’ve always dreamed of.

South Gulf Cove has grown into a vibrant waterfront community with parks, fishing, kayak access, nature and fitness trails, playgrounds, picnic and gathering areas, and community spaces for social and private events. The community also has a voluntary Property Owners Association (POA), and its lock system helps keep water levels throughout the canals more consistent while still allowing access out toward the Myakka River, Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf.

For buyers bringing their Florida toys along, boats and RVs may be kept on residential property, subject to applicable deed restrictions, zoning and placement requirements — a meaningful convenience for owners who would rather keep them at home than pay for off-site storage.

When you feel like trading the canal for a chance to dip your toes into the sugary sands of the Gulf, you’re roughly 20 minutes by car from both Englewood Beach and Boca Grande on Gasparilla Island — with Boca Grande known for its striking aqua-blue Gulf waters, along with beautiful beaches, shops, waterfront dining and those unforgettable Southwest Florida evenings.

From peaceful, serene mornings beside the canal to spontaneous days on the water and afternoons along the Gulf, it’s time to stop imagining and start living the Florida Sunshine Days lifestyle you’ve not just wanted — but have always needed.
