5243 Indian CourtSanibel, FL 33957Price: $1,399,000

On the tranquil western end of Sanibel, this waterfront retreat offers direct access to the Gulf and a life shaped by sun and sea. Soaring 14' ceilings and a wide-open living space create an atmosphere of effortless elegance, while a wall of pocketing glass doors dissolves the boundary between indoors and out. Step onto the expansive deck, where a spa invites calm reflection, the staircase leading to a shimmering pool and generous patio, and beyond, to a private 15-foot canal side dock. From here, drift past serene tidal bays through Blind Pass to the open waters of Pine Island Sound and the Gulf. The primary suite is a sanctuary of light and space, wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass with tranquil views of the canal and deck. Its spa-like bathroom-complete with dual vanities, a walk-in closet, soaking tub, and separate shower-offers indulgent comfort. A private guest suite with ensuite bath ensures a warm welcome for family and friends. On the south eastern side of the property rests a rare and storied treasure: a historic Calusa Indian mound, honoring the legacy of the ancient mariners who once sought these elevated shores close to rich coastal estuaries.
