Welcome to your Gulf Access Country Estate in the serene Riverwind Cove Community-where classic country charm meets waterfront living. This beautifully remodeled 3-bedroom + den, 2-bath, 2-car-garage home rests on 1.01 acres along the Caloosahatchee River in Alva-the last rural gem of Lee County. An inviting entrance opens to sweeping views of the lanai and river beyond. Designed for comfort and entertaining, the open-concept plan offers 10-foot ceilings throughout (12-foot in the Great Room), designer lighting, plantation shutters, Italian-tiled wood fireplace, beautiful flooring, quality cabinetry, and a pavered driveway. The gourmet kitchen is truly the heart of the home, showcasing a 15' x 4' Italian marble island, new appliances (oven, dishwasher, washer/dryer 2020; water heater 2024; fridge 2025), and a generous dining space overlooking the outdoors. Spa-style bathrooms feature custom tile, sleek fixtures, and walk-in showers. The Owner's Suite feels like a private retreat, with tray ceilings, crown molding, and a sun-lit bay window perfect for curling up with a book- the bench doubles as a cedar chest! French doors open directly to the pool area. Custom closets provide abundant storage, while the spa-inspired bath boasts dual sinks, a stately soaking tub, a walk-in shower with custom tilework, and a private water closet. Outdoors, life flows as easily as the river. Lush tropical landscaping frames the pool with waterfall, expansive screened lanai, and covered sitting area. Kick back on the 37' brick front porch shaded by mature banana and avocado trees (producing over 200 avocados annually) or gather around the outdoor fire pit for evening storytelling under the stars. A lighted 100' wooden walkway winds through the nature preserve to your private dock with 13,000-lb covered lift (10' x 40' slip), 220/110 electric, and fresh water-perfect for casting off to fish the Caloosahatchee's calm waters or cruising to the Gulf of Mexico or even the Atlantic. (It's a boater's dream with a country soul.) Inside, the oversized laundry room is as stylish as it is practical, offering abundant cabinetry, folding space, and a built-in dog-washing station to keep pets and outdoor gear fresh. Riverwind Cove itself is a close-knit waterfront neighborhood known for its festive spirit-especially dazzling Halloween and Christmas displays-though participation is purely optional. Residents also enjoy exploring the quiet streets via golf cart, a true country-living pastime. Bonus: A golf cart and select furnishings may also be available for purchase, making your move-in even easier. Recent upgrades include a 2022 new well and sewer pump, full irrigation system, and a 2025 pool pump replacement. This home shows like new-country comfort meets coastal adventure.
