Shadow Wood Preserve Is The Best Kept Secret in Fort Myers

Shadow Wood Preserve offers the feel of a traditional small town village with the advantage and amenities of a bigger community. Nestled between the Estero Bay Nature Preserve and historic Mullock Creek, Shadow Wood Preserve is a private, gated master-planned community surrounded by the native beauty of its environment with 400+acres.  Shadow Wood Preserve is just 5 miles from shopping, dining and entertainment at Coconut Point, Gulf Coast Town Center and Miromar Outlets; and Southwest Florida International Airport is 20 minutes from the gated community. Entertainment and sports venues close by include the Germain Arena, the Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall, JetBlue Park spring training facility for the Boston Red Sox, and Hammond Stadium, the spring training site for the Minnesota Twins. The community includes single-family homes, coach homes, carriage homes and villas with 293 home sites. Amenities for residents include kayaking and canoeing, tennis, walking trails, children’s playground, a picnic area with pavilion, and an 18-hole, par 72 Arthur Hills-designed golf course. The Shadow Wood Preserve Community Association has no CDD fees and owns the common area. Residents can join the Commons Club, composed of a Beach Club, enrichment center, fitness center, spa and an exclusive restaurant located within the Town Center at The Brooks. The Town Center is in a park-like setting with walkways and an interactive fountain that leads to a lake and playground. The enclave of Cypress Bend within Fort Myers’ Shadow Wood Preserve overlooks an Audubon sanctuary. The lakes and fairways of The Preserve’s golf course offer marvelous views and a wealth of pristine beauty among 400+ acres of nature preserves. Shadow Wood Preserve offers several low-maintenance single-family home designs from the high $500s. The homes range in size from 3 BR/2.5-4.5 BA/2,713-3,259 SF with 2 and 3 car garages. WCI Communities offers a list of Dream Ready homes available for immediate move-in. Shadow Wood Preserve is located west of Tamiami Trail/U.S. 41, just south of Harborage and Mullock Creek.
