Here's your opportunity to own a piece of one of Southwest Florida's most coveted private islands. This vacant lot on Hidden Lane offers a clean slate to build your custom island retreat on North Captiva — a boat-access-only barrier island where the pace slows, the crowds disappear, and the Florida you've been searching for actually exists. No bridge. No cars. No worries. North Captiva is one of the last truly undeveloped islands in Lee County, and this lot sits in the desirable Jose's Hideaway section of the island — walkable to the beach at the end of the street and close to all island amenities. Whether you're envisioning an elevated coastal home, a private fishing retreat, or a high-performing vacation rental, this lot delivers the fundamentals: a prime island address, a natural setting, and the kind of scarcity that protects long-term value.
