1328 Via Milanese, Punta Gorda, FL 33950

Property Description

Gulf access waterfront lot in the heart of Punta Gorda Isles, on a quiet cul-de-sac street. This 9,600 square foot homesite at 1328 Via Milanese measures 83 feet of road frontage, 120 feet deep, with 77 feet of concrete seawall on a wide canal. The lot widens toward the street, giving you a generous front setback and driveway while holding substantial water frontage at the rear. Charlotte Harbor is under 15 minutes by boat, with the Gulf of America beyond. Add a dock and lift and you are running the boat out on the water from your own backyard. The seawall is the detail that sets Punta Gorda Isles apart, and it is worth understanding before you compare this lot to waterfront anywhere else. In PGI, the City of Punta Gorda owns and maintains the seawall and seawall cap through its Canal Maintenance Division, which looks after roughly 91 miles of seawall and 45 miles of canals. If the wall fails, cracks, leans, or collapses, replacement is the city’s responsibility, not yours. Compare that to markets where a failing seawall lands entirely on the owner and routinely runs well into five figures. The program is funded by a non-ad valorem special assessment billed annually with property taxes, so the cost is spread across every parcel in the district over time rather than arriving as one devastating invoice. Docks and lifts remain the owner’s to maintain and insure. CITY WATER AND SEWER ARE AVAILABLE! The rear of the lot faces east, which puts sun on your pool and lanai through most of the day and morning light across the water. Historic downtown Punta Gorda and Fishermen’s Village are both close, with harborside restaurants, boutique shopping, art galleries, the weekly farmers market, and seasonal waterfront events. Walking and biking trails, waterfront parks, fishing piers, the public library, and medical facilities are all within easy reach. Golfers have an enviable problem here, which is choosing where to play. St. Andrews South Golf Club and Twin Isles Country Club are both right in Punta Gorda Isles, and dozens of additional courses are scattered across Punta Gorda, Deep Creek, Rotonda, and Port Charlotte, enough variety to play somewhere different every week of the season. When you want a change of scenery from your own dock, Ponce de Leon Park sits at the western edge of the city on Charlotte Harbor. The 16-acre waterfront park includes a public boat ramp with trailer parking, fishing piers, a sandy beach, a quarter-mile boardwalk through the wetlands, picnic pavilions, a playground, and the Peace River Wildlife Center. It is the spot locals claim for sunsets, watching the boats run the channel back into the Isles canal system. US-41 is less than five minutes down the street, Interstate 75 is roughly ten minutes out, and both Punta Gorda Airport and Fort Myers International (RSW) are an easy drive for travel or arriving guests. Charlotte Harbor is among the best fishing and cruising water in Florida, with the barrier islands and Boca Grande Pass a short boat ride away. Secure the lot, build your home with the dock, and start using it. Dont miss your opportunity on this property today!
