This is one of them. Sunshine through the palms, the soft shimmer of your own private pool, and the kind of quiet you only get when a home backs to preserve. This Raphael floor plan in Bella Terra feels less like a house and more like a personal retreat tucked inside one of Estero’s most loved, tree lined communities.
With 2,433 square feet, four bedrooms, three full baths, and a split three car garage, the layout gives everyone their own space while still feeling open, connected, and easy to live in. The moment you walk in, you notice how bright and cared for it feels. Formal living and dining rooms set the tone for holidays and gatherings, while the kitchen flows right into the family room so real life never feels divided. The built in bar with a wine cooler adds just the right touch for entertaining or winding down at the end of the day.
And then there is the backyard. This is the showstopper. An oversized screened lanai wraps around a heated pool and spa, all overlooking a peaceful preserve. No neighbors behind you, just nature, sunshine, and privacy. The extended covered lanai means you can enjoy the outdoors year round, whether you are floating on a summer afternoon or soaking in the spa on a cool Florida evening.
The home also checks all the practical boxes. Newer roof in 2019, full hurricane protection, not in a flood zone, and southern exposure that fills the home with natural light all day long. It is the kind of peace of mind buyers are always hoping for but rarely find all in one place.
And of course, it is all inside Bella Terra. Nearly 1,000 acres of lakes, preserves, and resort style amenities, including a clubhouse, fitness center, water aerobics, pickleball, tennis, walking trails, and a full social calendar with bingo nights and food trucks. Kids love the playground and pools. Adults love the butterfly garden, the community feel, and the fact that neighbors actually know each other.
This is not just a home. It is a place to relax, recharge, and truly enjoy the Florida lifestyle people move here for. Once you see it, it is easy to imagine staying.
