Experience an unparalleled waterfront lifestyle with this extraordinary Punta Gorda compound—an estate unmatched in privacy, land, and luxury throughout the surrounding area. Set on just under 2 acres with no deed restrictions, this private gated property offers resort-style living, exceptional boating amenities, and expansive grounds rarely found in Southwest Florida. Located on a quiet dead-end canal with minimal boat traffic and an easy idle-out to Charlotte Harbor, the setting is peaceful, private, and ideal for boating enthusiasts, and the home itself has never flooded. Built by Arthur Rutenberg and pristinely maintained by its original owner, the residence spans 3,279 sq ft with an open layout designed for elevated entertaining. The updated kitchen features Bosch black stainless appliances and generous workspace, while the living room showcases a Lake Como–inspired mural that enhances the Mediterranean feel of the home. The primary suite offers a spa-inspired bath featuring a stunning rain shower, an electric bidet, separate vanities, and a beautiful stone soaking tub framed by elegant rain glass, all positioned to capture serene morning sunrise views to begin your day. The kitchen, family room, and primary suite were all refreshed in 2022. The one-of-a-kind den is custom-built with five different woods, creating a warm, rich, and distinctive statement space ideal for an executive office or optional additional bedroom. Outdoor living defines this compound, featuring an open-air heated saltwater pool and spa, a private shell beach and firepit, and luxurious landscaping that adds a park-like setting, along with multiple seating areas both under-truss and within a charming gazebo off the guest room surrounded by a garden—perfect for enjoying expansive sunset views and watching boaters move through Buckley’s Pass. For boaters, the property offers two 40-foot docks, a boathouse over the boat lift with power and water, and a private boat launch—an exceedingly rare amenity in the area—along with smooth idle-speed access to Charlotte Harbor. Additional features include a 3-car epoxy-floor garage, impact windows and doors, a clay roof, an updated water heater and pool pump, and low Charlotte County taxes. With nearly 2 acres of usable land, the estate also provides ample space to add a pickleball court, tennis court, basketball court, or a full guest house for enhanced future value. This remarkable offering is more than a home—it's a private coastal compound delivering unmatched land, luxury, privacy, and boating amenities, standing alone as one of the most distinctive properties in all of Southwest Florida.

This custom-built waterfront home is positioned along the shoreline of Charlotte Harbor in Charlotte County. The residence sits on an estimated 275 feet of direct Saltwater, providing open water access and expansive views across Charlotte Harbor. The southwestern exposure allows for consistent natural light across the water during afternoon and evening hours. Constructed in 2013 by West Coast Builders, the home is supported by 38 concrete pilings driven approximately 12 feet deep. Exterior construction includes Hardie Board cement siding along with impact-resistant windows and doors throughout. The structure was designed with durability in mind and includes provisions that allow for a future elevator installation if desired. The property is accessed by a paver driveway bordered by mature tropical landscaping. Double front entry doors open into the main living area, with an open floor plan, and ceiling heights range from approximately 10 to 12 feet, including an 11-foot double-step tray ceiling. Light walnut-toned porcelain tile flooring extends throughout the primary living spaces, providing continuity and suitability for a coastal environment. The living room is oriented toward the water and features a built-in solid-wood entertainment center designed to conceal electronic components. Large windows throughout the home maintain a visual connection to the surrounding harbor setting. A built-in window seat is positioned between dual French doors that lead to two elevated open-air decks overlooking Charlotte Harbor, providing outdoor living space with wide water views. The large kitchen features a functional layout with modern finishes. Euro-style flat panel cabinetry in a dual-tone finish is paired with Oakhampton Cambria quartzite countertops. A central island includes a prep sink and ample drawer storage. Appliances include a 36-inch Wolf gas cooktop, a wall-mounted oven, and a convection microwave. An expansive walk-in butler’s pantry offers additional workspace and storage. The primary suite is a true oasis, with 8' sliding glass impact doors leading to a private deck with unobstructed views of the harbor. Dual custom walk-in closets and a linen closet provide ample storage. The Ensuite bathroom includes a soaking tub, a walk-in shower with multiple shower heads, a floating vanity with dual sinks, and a water closet. Situated off the kitchen is the guest wing, which consists of two bedrooms with built-in closets, one of which features sliding glass doors leading to the shared deck with expansive water views. The large full bathroom with a walk-in shower and linen closet completes the guest amenities. The main floor also includes a laundry room with a front-loading washer and dryer, plenty of cabinet space, a refrigerator, and a dumbwaiter, which makes bringing groceries upstairs a breeze. Outdoor amenities include a saltwater swimming pool, a heated spa, and a waterfront fire pit area. Shoreline improvements consist of a private tiki hut, dock, covered boat lift, and kayak launch. These features support direct access to Charlotte Harbor and accommodate boating, fishing, paddling, and other water-based activities directly from the property. Additional features include a three-car tandem garage with a dumbwaiter, multiple storage areas, a climate-controlled hobby room, a half bathroom, and an outdoor shower. .
