103 SPORTSMAN RD Rotonda West, FL 33947

There are no other waterfront lots like this one for sale in Rotonda West! Here’s why: Like everyone else, you want your attractive new home to have a nice lanai, pool, decking, and plants lining the cage. Unfortunately, you have no control over what you see beyond your own backyard. Now picture this! Bordering the backyard of this choice lot is the Broadmoor Waterway which connects to Rotonda West’s 26 miles of fresh-water canal. And just beyond that is a gorgeous array of homes with dozens of stately crown palms and other subtropics swaying high overhead. And, then there’s the solitude of the privacy due to the configuration of the homes across the water. To fully understand the beauty of this place, please watch the DRONE VIDEO on the VIRTUAL TOUR. And that’s just the beginning. One of the advantages to this lot is that it has higher-than-average elevations. The county’s contour maps shows it has elevations ranging from 12’ to 13’, which is 3’ higher than many RW lots. This provides the potential for reducing construction costs by eliminating and/or reducing the need for fill and stem walls. That also has the potential to minimize and/or eliminate the need for stairs leading up to porches, side entries, garage-to-interiors, and pool decks. Eliminating these steps creates additional value as your home therefore becomes more suitable for aging in place. Another testimonial to the elevation of this lot is the abandoned gopher tortoise hole near the NW corner of the lot. Another consideration is that this lot has already been cleared and is ready for construction. And that, too, presents another reason to build on this lot! Once you have completed building your home on this lot, there are NO other nearby lots to build on next to you. The Rotonda West Canal System, which the Broadmoor Waterway flows into, provides 26 miles of fresh waterways, which are stocked with fish. The abundance of fish is a magnet for other wildlife and creates non-stop wildlife shows. Common sightings include bald eagles, osprey, great-blue heron, American egrets, wood storks, king-fishers, wild ducks, and much more. These wind-driven waterways also serve as hosts to bird migrations from Wisconsin to Central America. The area surrounding this property is in a designated bird sanctuary. It also explains why the beautiful homes lining the banks of the waterways are so inviting, as residents are entitled to pump their irrigation water for free. And finally, this prime building lot measures very close to 10,000 SqFt, with the rear facing West for exceptional sunsets.
