Secluded residence in Pineland on Pine Island. This private five acres includes a restored historic bungalow originally built in 1910 by Captain John Smith, a classic 2-story Florida barn/garage nestled in an oak hammock, and equestrian amenities. The home has been meticulously and professionally restored and updated. Walk upon the brick walkway among tropical vegetation to the broad spacious front porch. The front door opens to the kitchen with handcrafted cabinets made from the original structure's heart pine exterior siding milled at Captain Smith's turn-of-the-century Pineland saw mill. Also, find the original brick chimney, modern appliances, and a pantry with washer and dryer. The bedroom includes a large walk-in closet and the newly renovated bathroom, a glass enclosed walk-in shower and double sink vanity. The living area is surrounded by large windows looking out upon the pasture and lush vegetation. The home features tongue & groove oak floors, storm ready impact-resistant and insulated windows throughout, three mini-split AC units, and high open ceilings. As per the Lee County Historic Preservation Board... "The home's design is an excellent example of the traditional Coastal Florida Architecture known as Florida Cracker". The very generous barn/garage (approx. 50'x50') contains a spacious open workshop (currently a sculptor's studio) a one car garage area, a large screened lanai for entertaining, two 12'x12' horse stalls opening onto fenced paddock, and a brick-paved back porch. The barn's second floor loft has lots of storage and potential for a private art studio with windows on all four sides. This one of a kind property is the definition of peaceful old Florida and is within walking distance of excellent fishing in Pine Island Sound, the Pineland Marina, and the historic Tarpon Lodge and Restaurant. The property has a fenced horse pasture, beautiful large oaks, 100 year old mango trees, tropical and native flora, and a controlled artesian well. It is bordered on the west and north sides by the Florida Museum of Natural History's Randell Research Center archeological site, which prevents further development and ensuring privacy.
