South Gulf Cove

Dreaming of upscale, tropical waterfront living? Picture a luxurious home set directly on the banks of a wide waterway.

All manner of watercraft pass by your own private dock as water-loving revelers wave a warm and exuberant “hello”. Some boaters are simply taking a motor through the extensive canal system, fishing for both freshwater and saltwater catches along the way. Others are steaming toward the lagoon where canals converge and the unique lock provides convenient passage from the serenity of this inland cove out to the bay and the stunning Gulf of Mexico.

Is the salty Gulf breeze calling you to set sail and join them? They’re having the time of their lives – every day of their lives, here in this naturally scenic, temperate and easy-going setting.

A lifestyle like this is not too good to be true...it is all very real and it you’ll find it in picturesque South Gulf Cove, a hamlet on Florida’s idyllic southwest coast.

Large in physical size and ever growing in new residents, there are 15,000 deed-restricted home sites – 4,700 are waterfront – on approximately 62,000 acres. 126 canals form 55 miles of interconnecting waterways with outlet to larger bodies of water through the lock.

The canals are wide with varying depths, some flow under bridges with 10 feet of clearance, while others are open all the way to the lock.

100 miles of roadway are integrated within the community, leaving a choice of easily accessible transportation options. But whether you choose to travel by land or by sea, South Gulf Cove is exceptional and presents an excellent opportunity to start to making all of your dreams come true.

Centrally located between Sarasota and Fort Myers, South Gulf Cove sits on the protected side of the Cape Haze peninsula. Punta Gorda is across the bay, Boca Grande is just south and Port Charlotte is to the north. Residents enjoy the nearby amenities, which include shopping, dining and good schools. Within minutes, golfers can find themselves at any one of the four nearby courses – Long Marsh, Palms, Oakland Hills and Cape Haze Links. Beaches are also a short drive away. Membership in the South Gulf Cove Yacht Club is available.

Residents are very involved in shaping their piece of paradise. They are establishing a “learning garden”. Visitors will take self-guided tours of the garden, which will display the best plants and the most effective methods for fertilization, irrigation and pest control for the region. It will also offer guidance as to the best landscaping and home maintenance practices for those living on waterfront property. Information on this project and other relevant topics is accessible through the community Web site.

Home prices in South Gulf Cove range according to location, style and size. There are build-able lots available as well, and these prices also reflect location and size.
