10118 Charlemont Avenue, Englewood, FL 34224

Property Description

Wake up to water views from your own backyard on this .23 acre homesite at 10118 Charlemont Ave in Englewood, FL 34224 (PID 412002102012). This 10,000 square foot parcel has 80 feet of road frontage and 80 feet along a peaceful freshwater canal at the rear, giving your future home a naturally private backdrop and the kind of everyday scenery that draws so many to Southwest Florida in the first place. Public water is available at the street, and septic would be needed to build. Zoned RSF-3.5, Charlotte County's residential single-family district, this lot is designated for a single-family detached home, which may include an attached guest suite. RSF-3.5 permits building heights up to 38 feet and lot coverage allowing as much as 4,000 square feet of coverage on a parcel this size. With setbacks of 25 feet in front, 7.5 feet on each side, and 20 feet from the water at the rear, you are left with a wide, deep building envelope of roughly 65 feet across and 80 feet deep, with room for a spacious home paired with a screened lanai and a pool area oriented toward the canal. Swimming pools and similar non-commercial recreational structures are expressly permitted in RSF-3.5, so a true backyard oasis overlooking the water is well within reach here. Buyers should verify exact setbacks and site plan requirements with Charlotte County before finalizing home plans. The property sits in an X flood zone, FEMA's lowest-risk designation, meaning it falls outside the high-risk Special Flood Hazard Area. In practical terms, flood insurance is not federally required in an X zone even with a federally backed mortgage, and when a homeowner does choose to carry coverage, premiums are typically far more affordable than high-risk AE or VE zones. On a waterfront parcel especially, that is meaningful long-term savings. The property is also NOT located in a Scrub Jay review area according to the CCGIS, and the National Wetland Inventory mapper shows NO wetlands on site, two more green lights heading into permitting. The location is every bit as appealing as the setting. You are just minutes from Englewood Beach and the sugar sand shores of Manasota Key, with the Old Florida charm and world-class tarpon fishing of Boca Grande roughly 20 minutes away. Golfers will feel right at home with dozens of courses in the surrounding area, including Lemon Bay Golf Club right in Englewood and the five distinct courses at Rotonda Golf and Country Club just a short drive away. Nearby restaurants, grocery stores, and shops cover your everyday needs, from casual waterfront dining to the shopping corridors along Placida Road and SR-776. Sports fans are well positioned too, with Charlotte Sports Park, spring training home of the Tampa Bay Rays, and CoolToday Park in Wellen Park, spring training home of the Atlanta Braves, both within an easy drive for Spring Training baseball each spring. I-75 is approximately 30 minutes away for effortless travel north and south throughout the state, and Fort Myers International Airport (RSW) is roughly an hour and fifteen minutes for convenient air travel. Whether you are planning a full-time residence, a seasonal retreat, or a smart investment in one of Southwest Florida's most beloved beach towns, this canal-front homesite delivers the setting, the space, and the location to make it happen.
