Here are the top 5 reasons to build your home on this beautiful waterfront lot. ~~(1): This waterfront lot backs up to a unique, 26 mile, fresh-water canal system that is the crown jewel of Rotonda West. These scenic banks are lined with manicured lawns, mature trees, beautiful homes, docks, and open spaces. Enjoy boating, fishing, and amazing wildlife shows from the comfort of your own backyard. Docks are common and permitted throughout this waterfront community. Pontoon boats are the most common craft, with kayaks, canoes, and small fishing trawlers a close second. Imagine the exciting lifestyle and opportunities this waterfront property opens up to you. For example, indulge yourself, friends, or that special someone in a scenic pontoon-boat cruise from your own back yard dock to The Rotonda Golf & Country Club. Park your boat at the marina and enjoy a round of golf, followed by an evening of southern hospitality that includes fine wines, the chef's specials, special dinner shows, and dancing. Or grab a thermos of coffee and chase the rising sun all the way to the southern most tip of Rotonda West via The Rotonda River. The waterways of Rotonda West are in a designated wildlife sanctuary. You are likely to experience large jumping fish, bald eagles, osprey, egrets, heron, alligators, great horned owls, turtles, and amazing bird migrations. Occasional sightings include otters, bobcats, foxes, and wood storks. This scenic waterway also provides a lifetime of free irrigation. That explains why so many homes on this street have lush sub-tropical landscaping. That will save you a bundle, year after year. ~~(2): The backyard has direct western exposure, perfect for enjoying spectacular sunsets and maximizing afternoon sunshine on the pool deck and pool. ~~(3): Does your household enjoy a busy, “on-the-go” lifestyle? This property, according to MapQuest, is just a 1-minute drive to Rotonda's main entrance. That will save you time, money, and vehicle costs with every trip you make. ~~(4): Nearby amenities are conducive to healthy lifestyles. They include 5 popular golf courses, and private community center with hiking trails and meeting halls, and a community park with tennis courts, pickleball courts, picnic pavilions, a soccer field, walking trails, and playgrounds. ~~(5): Public records indicate that the majority of this lot is in an x-flood zone due to its high elevation. This provides peace-of-mind. It also has the potential to reduce construction costs related to fill and stem walls. It also has the potential to minimize and/or eliminate the need and costs of stairs leading up to porches, side entries, garage-to-interiors, and pool decks. Eliminating these steps creates additional value as your home becomes more suitable for aging in place. This X-Flood zone classification also means that this section is NOT in the 500-year flood plain. This provides peace-of-mind and additional monetary rewards year-after-year. Lenders typically waive the requirement for flood insurance. That can potentially save you thousands of dollars annually. And if you elect to voluntarily carry flood insurance, the X-Flood status may create huge discounts to reflect the reduced risks. Disclaimer: In order to benefit from the large insurance discounts associated with an X-Flood zone, the structure needs to be built within the X-Flood Zone section of the lot.
