Imagine finishing a long, stressful week of work. Instead of driving home to a cramped subdivision where you can hear your neighbor’s TV through the wall, imagine pulling up to your own private electric gate.

The gates open, you drive onto over an acre of lush land, and the first thing you see is your own massive tiki hut and sparkling pool waiting for you.

This isn’t a vacation rental. This is everyday life at 7881 Buckingham Rd.

If you have been searching for homes for sale in Fort Myers that offer true privacy without forcing you to move to the middle of nowhere, here is why the Buckingham neighborhood—and this home specifically—should be at the top of your list.

1. The Luxury of Space (Without the Work)

In Southwest Florida, finding a home under $650k with more than a standard 0.25-acre lot is becoming impossible.

This property sits on 1.15 acres. That is more than enough room for:

• Parking your boat or RV.
• Letting the dogs run freely in a fenced yard.
• Hosting huge family reunions without worrying about parking space.

But the best part? It is manageable. It’s enough land to feel free, but not so much that you spend your entire weekend mowing the lawn.

2. A Backyard Built for Entertaining

Let’s be honest: You live in Florida for the outdoor lifestyle. This home delivers that in a way most luxury listings can’t even compete with.

The backyard features a resort-style pool and an incredible, expansive Tiki Hut. This isn’t a small umbrella; it’s a full entertainment zone. Whether it’s Sunday football games, evening cocktails, or summer pool parties, this space is designed to make you the host everyone loves.

3. Move-In Ready Peace of Mind

One of the biggest fears buyers have right now is buying an older home that needs work—or worse, uninsurable roofs.

This home solves that problem immediately.

• The Roof: Replaced in 2023 (meaning easy, affordable insurance).
• The Interior: Completely remodeled bathrooms and a modern kitchen.

You get the charm of an established estate with the reliability of a modern renovation.

4. The “Flex” Factor

Inside, the home offers 1,634 sqft of air-conditioned living space, including 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a private Den.

We are seeing a huge demand for “Flex Spaces” right now. Do you need a home office? A gym? A nursery? Having that extra Den gives you options that a standard 3-bedroom home simply doesn’t have.

Conclusion: Your Private Oasis Awaits

Properties with this specific combination over 1 acre, a pool, a new roof, and under $650k are rare finds in the current Fort Myers market. They rarely pop up, and when they do, they move fast.

If you are ready to trade your HOA restrictions for open space and sunset views under a tiki hut, you need to see this home in person.
