Welcome to Beach Haven, a thoughtfully designed coastal estate ideally positioned along prestigious Middle Gulf Drive, offering sweeping views of the Sanibel River and protected wildlife preserve, all just steps from deeded beach access to the Gulf. Located directly across from Sundial Beach Resort & Spa, with convenient access to dining, tennis, and island amenities, this property captures the very essence of Sanibel living, where mornings begin with beach walks and evenings end with unforgettable sunset skies over the water. Built in 2005 to full hurricane standards with impact windows and doors, this elevated 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath residence offers over 3,600 square feet of versatile living space designed for both privacy and comfort. All bedrooms are en-suite, including a spacious primary retreat with adjoining office/den, spa-style bath, generous walk-in closet, and its own private laundry. Two additional guest suites are also en-suite and include additional laundry access, creating exceptional flexibility for extended family or guests. The chef’s kitchen is equipped with a 6-burner gas range, granite countertops, opening to multiple living and entertaining spaces including a refined sitting room with fireplace and wet bar. Expansive glass captures tranquil river views throughout the home. Outdoor living is equally impressive. A gas-heated pool with waterfall and spa overlook the river, framed by screened lanais designed for year-round enjoyment. An elevator services all levels, and the generous lower level offers additional space ideal for recreation, storage. A finished 3-car garage with workshop provides ample storage for island living. With its prime mid-island location, riverfront tranquility, and close proximity to the Gulf, 1460 Middle Gulf Drive presents a rare opportunity to own a substantial estate in one of Sanibel Island’s most coveted corridors. The exceptional layout offers both comfort and flexibility, ideal as a full-time island residence or a refined second home with established income-producing potential. All of this is complemented by the scale, privacy, and construction quality expected of a premier Sanibel address. Detailed features and recent updates available upon request.
