Property Description
Welcome to 1285 Driftwood Drive, a beautifully maintained home in a desirable waterfront community offering peaceful views of Hancock Creek leading to the Caloosahatchee River. Enjoy watching manatees and other Florida wildlife right from your own backyard. Situated at an impressive 8-foot elevation, this property offers the perfect combination of Florida lifestyle, functionality, and peace of mind—with no city taxes, community fees, or deed restrictions. Enjoy the beauty of the outdoors from the backyard, featuring a magnificent mature Live Oak and Mango tree. A circular driveway provides plenty of parking and attractive curb appeal. The spacious 3-car garage features separate bays and 230-volt electrical service, making it ideal for a workshop, welding, hobbies, or additional storage.

The interior was painted and new carpet installed in 2023. In 2026, the bathrooms received new cabinetry, the exterior was freshly painted, and the garage interior was also painted. Additional features include transferable flood insurance and a complete set of the home's original plans. Enjoy the convenience of Judd Park, a county-maintained community amenity located within walking distance, offering two dog parks, multiple tennis courts, a tot lot, a FREE public boat ramp, and an illuminated baseball field. The location is exceptionally convenient—approximately one-half mile from the Cape Coral city limits and approximately one mile from the Edison Bridge connecting North Fort Myers to Fort Myers.
