This turnkey residence offers everything you've been dreaming of—cozy window seats, elegant plantation shutters, and breathtaking long views down the fairway with sparkling water and lush greens as far as the eye can see. Never flooded and perfectly located west of 41 within the desirable, gated community of The Forest Country Club, this home sits high and dry on a beautifully landscaped homesite. Inside, discover over 3,000 sq ft of thoughtfully designed living space featuring 3 large bedrooms plus a den and 3 full bathrooms. The enormous primary suite includes a relaxing sitting area and adjoining office—perfect for quiet mornings or work-from-home days. The custom chef's kitchen showcases quality wood cabinetry, seeded glass accents, and modern updates throughout. The cozy great room centers around a handsome fireplace framed by a grand hearth and surrounded by stately architectural transom windows that fill the home with natural light.
Step outside to your 1,500 sq ft lanai—ideal for entertaining—with a sparkling pool and spa, full pool bath, and plenty of covered seating to enjoy the serene fairway views.

The Forest Country Club offers resort-style amenities: two 18-hole golf courses, a newly renovated clubhouse with outdoor bar, tennis, pickleball, bocce ball, and a full fitness facility. Club membership is optional, not mandatory! Exciting news—the Bear Championship Course is undergoing a $10.6 million renovation, set for completion in December 2025, promising one of the finest golfing experiences in the region. With a low annual HOA of just $2,900, mature trees, spacious homesites, and 24/7 manned gates, The Forest remains one of South Fort Myers' most coveted addresses.
