Gated communities are not so common in Englewood. Open subdivisions are predominant in this Old Florida beach town, but this does not mean you should overlook neighborhoods such as Eagle Preserve Englewood. Located just south of the Lemon Bay Golf Club in the Cape Haze section of Englewood, Eagle Preserve is where you can find some of the most spectacular real estate in Southwest Florida.

Development of Eagle Preserve Englewood dates back to the early 1990s; since then, more than 20 stunning spec homes and custom estates have been completed, most of them along the pristine waterfront of Lemon Bay. The properties that are not located right on the water enjoy views of lakes, ponds, canals, or nature preserves that have been certified as bird sanctuaries by the Audubon Society. Dozens of bird species, including bald eagles, nest in the wetland forests surrounding the Lemon Bay Golf Club.

To get an idea of the properties built on Eagle Preserve Englewood, let’s look at a listing available in September 2024: Three bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms on a three-story Key West home with more than 4,400 square feet of interior and a garage that can park up to eight vehicles. This waterfront estate has its own private pier and docking space, European cabinets, natural stone countertops, a solar power system, a gourmet kitchen equipped with SubZero appliances, plenty of Italian-style glass doors, and even an elevator connecting the three levels. This $3.4 million listing is one of the most impressive in this neighborhood, and its value has appreciated considerably since it was built in 2017. Latest pricing at Eagle Preserve Englewood will be found below if there is inventory.

Privacy is guaranteed for residents and guests of Eagle Preserve. The only ways to enter the community are by boat or through the private golf club. Nearby attractions such as Don Pedro Island State Park and the beaches of Manasota Key are just minutes away. Legendary seafood restaurants such as Rum Bay are also within easy driving distance, and the same can be said about the Cape Haze shopping center, where a Publix supermarket opened just a few years ago.
