Lot 15 RICE ROAD Exceptional Waterfront Homesite with Direct Gulf Access! Build the waterfront home you’ve always envisioned on this outstanding property located in the desirable Pine Island Estates community. One of the property’s most unique features is the unspoiled natural setting. With protected marshland and county-owned property across the canal, you’ll enjoy peaceful water views, added privacy, and very few neighboring homes.

Along the way, you’ll often encounter Florida’s incredible marine life before reaching open water, where world-class fishing, boating, island hopping, and spectacular sunsets await.
