Private Island Sale Is Southwest Florida’s Largest Ever

Little Bokeelia Island Sells For $14.5 Million.

Little Bokeelia Island, a private island situated just minutes off Southwest Florida’s Gulf Coast, midway between Sarasota and Naples, sold today for $14.5 million, establishing a new record price for a single residential property sale in Southwest Florida.

Co-listed by agents Klaus Lang and Jennifer Calenda, and sold by Victoria Stultz, all with Michael Saunders & Company.

Little Bokeelia Island was listed for $24.5 million, a price that included its 104 acres of waterfront land, a 1920’s Spanish-style estate home with attached guest wing, a cluster of several old Florida cottages that have been beautifully restored then neatly arranged around a village green; and the basic infrastructure and permitting rights for 29 construction-ready home sites.

“To sell a property of this magnitude takes time; so the sellers knew they had to be patient until a buyer finally emerged who felt as passionate as they did about owning such a unique and high-value property,” says Lang. “Earlier this year, their desire to pursue new lifestyle goals after 26 years on the island prompted them to offer-up the island for immediate sale with the guarantee that all reasonable offers would be considered. By the April 30 deadline, offers had poured in from such far-flung places as India, South Africa, China and Canada, as well as from Florida and several other U.S. states.”

“This is yet another instance in which our agents connected a motivated seller with a qualified and motivated buyer; and both parties to the transaction came out on top,” adds Michael Saunders. “As was their wish, the sellers were able to sell very quickly and begin the next chapter of their lives; while the buyers took ownership of a magical property at an exceptional price. I am tremendously proud of the agents who participated in transacting this very complicated sale, as well as the MS&C marketing team who left no stone unturned in making sure that qualified buyers around the world were made aware of the opportunity to purchase this extremely unique property. Congratulations to all for a job well done.”
