The Harborage: Fort Myers Waterskiing Community

Southwest Florida is ideal for a boating lifestyle, and The Harborage certainly makes that possible. This South Fort Myers waterskiing community has the distinct advantage of two fresh-water lakes with Gulf access.

The aquifer-fed lakes total more than 100-acres, each of which includes its own sandy beach and boat launch. This makes it possible for an array of watersports close to home, including waterskiing, jet-skiing, fishing and even swimming.

The Harborage community connects up to Estero Bay and the Gulf by way of Park Road Canal, Ten Mile Canal and Mullock Creek. The convenience means it’s easily possible to head out on open water, or even head over to Lovers Key State Park or Fort Myers Beach in about 20 minutes.

Besides waterskiing and other watersports, The Harborage also offers its residents access to two lighted tennis courts, a swimming pool, basketball and volleyball courts. In addition, you’ll find such amenities as a half-mile long jogging, biking and walking trail for recreation, plus picnic facilities and a party room on the property.

The gated, waterfront community contains around 130 single-family homes for buyers to choose from, some of which come with private boat docks themselves. As well, The Harborage offers some private boat storage.

Some of the well-designed homes of The Harborage contain four- or five-bedrooms, with large home designs that often exceed 3,000 or even 4,000 square feet of living space. Some of the newer construction homes in The Harborage additionally come with private swimming pools and spas, along with summer kitchens and fantastic views overlooking the waterfront.

There are also some more established canal front homes in The Harborage with plenty of upgrades. The Harborage sits in South Fort Myers, just off US 41. This puts residents of the community within easy reach of local beaches, shopping and restaurants.
