Located within close proximity to the prestigious golf and beach community of The Sanctuary, this exceptional Shearwater residence offers generous living spaces, high ceilings, and thoughtfully designed interiors ideal for those who desire room to entertain without the full-time demands of estate ownership. With few properties on Sanibel offering this combination of size, amenities, and low-maintenance convenience, Shearwater represents a truly unique market opportunity.

Shearwater appeals to: • Golfers wanting immediate access to premier fairways • Beachcombers who value privacy and proximity to the Gulf • Single-family homeowners ready to simplify without downsizing dramatically • Luxury condo owners looking for significantly more square footage • Captiva residents seeking a refined Sanibel alternative This is not just another property — it is a different product entirely.
