From the moment you enter this Castella residence, you'll appreciate the light and bright décor and wide-open plan, ideal for welcoming family and friends. The beautiful kitchen gives space for everyone to gather. Guests enjoy privacy on opposite side of the residence with full bath and access to the spacious lanai. The screened lanai is among the largest in the community and offers a tranquil setting 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 & 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.
