Land with Home for Sale in Fort Myers, Florida

Built by renowned architect Arthur Rutenberg, this estate represents a rare pairing of custom craftsmanship, true acreage, and the perfect location, a combination that has become nearly impossible to find in Fort Myers. Set within the private, gated community of Brynwood, the property spans over 2.5 acres, offering space and privacy few homes can match. A circular drive lined with mature palms and old Florida landscaping leads to a porte-cochere entry, setting an elegant tone before you even step inside. Through the front double doors, the home unfolds across more than 7,000 square feet of living space, with six bedrooms and five bathrooms. Fourteen-foot ceilings and marble accents carry a sense of grandeur through the main living areas, while a wall of fully pocketing lanai doors draw the outside in, framing the pool and courtyards beyond. The home was designed with entertaining in mind. A mirrored wet bar anchors the family room, complete with built-in glass shelving, a refrigerator, and a freezer, beside a coral stone fireplace sourced from the Florida Keys in 1988. A second wet bar sits within the primary suite. The home also offers a dedicated exercise room with panoramic window views and a built-in wooden hot-coal sauna. Enjoy movie night with the convenience of your own media room and execute deals with an in-home office with the option of a 7th bedroom. Outdoors, an expansive 3,700+ sq/ft of screened lanai encloses the pool and spillover spa, complete with a built-in table and bench seating for entertaining. The primary suite opens to its own private courtyard with wooden decking and a fountain, perfect for a quiet retreat. A three-car garage with one air-conditioned bay offers ample room for vehicles and storage. The grounds are supported by a private well and full irrigation system. Mature Banyan, Gumbo Limbo, Fig, and Papaya trees complement the grounds. Located in an X500 flood zone, so flood insurance isn't required. Per the owner, the property has never experienced hurricane flooding. This estate is ready for its next chapter. You have the rare opportunity to restore a home of this scale and character, on acreage that is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find in the heart of Fort Myers.
