203 Useppa IslandCaptiva, FL 33924Price: $6,400,000

Located on the eastern shore of the reimagined and redeveloped private Useppa Island, the Aerie estate is the signature property on 30 miles of Pine Island Sound. With 250 feet of shoreline and views that capture 180 degrees of the Sound stretching for miles, the home is unique. Enter the foyer and take in a great room reminiscent of a century old fishing retreat, the pecky cypress ceiling soaring 25 feet above the fireplace gathering area, broad windows to watch passing boats and soaring birds. A mezzanine floor overlooking the great room boasts a kitchen with two of everything and room for multiple chefs-or dishwashers or bartenders. Overlooking the water from this level is a dining room for 12. Adjacent to the kitchen is a screened-in grilling and outdoor serving area, and a swimming pool with an expansive deck area. Also on this level is a half bath, and 2 bedrooms with ensuite baths. The second floor includes 2 bedrooms with ensuite baths and a massive 25x30 owners suite. A private dock, enclosed and conditioned garage, storage and equipment rooms provide the service areas needed to serve this expansive home. Useppa has all the services and amenities of a small town, and is a bridgeless island ensuring privacy and solitude. Yet an active lifestyle of boating and sporting activities for any that wish to participate. The island is known for its outgoing community of residents, and with only 118 homes, the nature of the island will not deviate from the tropical luxury and Old Florida ambiance that create this special place in the sun.
