Imagine South Florida private island life in an area more protected and secluded than the ocean or gulf, which still showcases the state’s famous sunrises and sunsets. Located 30 miles east of Fort Myers, Raven’s Nest Island is nestled between two locks on the tranquil, fresh waters of the intracoastal waterway. This charming tropical haven offers a hurricane escape for boaters with views taking in the native beauty of the Caloosahatchee River. The oak-filled triangular island is accessed from Fort Denaud Road via its own gated and asphalt-paved driveway, which leads to an updated scenic bridge of steel and wood construction with a dock on each side of the oxbow.

The island’s Sanibel-style one-bedroom, two-bath home was recently renovated, accentuating its light-infused and easily adaptable floor plan. Nearly 2,000 square feet of living space includes a great room for lounging and dining as well as a kitchen, full bath, office, and a river-view master suite with newly installed hurricane windows, laundry, full bath, and walk-through closet. The heavy-duty construction is high-quality frame, with open-beamed ceilings, decorative cupolas, two open porches, a rooftop sun deck, and 718-square-foot garage. Back across the bridge on the mainland, a second home site with its own dock and septic system expands the property’s options; it’s large enough for another home, guesthouse, or “RV port” with second-floor apartment—ideal for visitors, a caretaker, or an Airbnb rental.

Surrounded by the citrus groves and cattle ranches of Florida’s Hendry County, Raven’s Nest Island is in the historic town of LaBelle, sometimes called “the City of Oaks” or “the Belle of the Caloosahatchee,” and home to the unique Swamp Cabbage Festival every February. Chic downtown Fort Myers, just a 30-minute drive west, places an abundance of dining, shopping, and cultural options within easy reach of this distinctive private island retreat.
