Light and bright, calm and soothing. These are your first thoughts as you enter this beautifully appointed Castella residence. The open space allows for entertaining family and friends with separate ensuite baths to ensure complete privacy. The beautiful kitchen gives space for everyone to gather. In addition to the oversized, screened lanai, there are over 1,000 square feet of additional outdoor space, suitable for additional furnishings, potted plants, and maybe a putting green! This tranquil setting is perfect for that morning cup of coffee while you listen to birdlife in the preserve area. Storm protection gives you peace of mind. Castella offers arguably the best, resort-style pool for enjoying the sun or napping in the shade with a comfortable beach entry for the little ones. The Colony Golf & Bay Club offers a private beach island, canoe and kayak, pickleball, bocce, and tennis, all included in your monthly fees, and no additional membership is required. Optional memberships are available at two golf clubs, The Colony and Pelican's Nest, contact membership directors for availability and potential wait lists. The Colony Bay Club is exclusive to residents with spectacular views overlooking Estero Bay. Restaurants and entertainment are five minutes away and SWFL airport is a 20-minute drive.
