Gated golf course community with the Gulf of Mexico nearby

Spanish Wells is an active gated community nestled in the heart of Bonita Springs, surrounded by classic country club amenities and the natural attractions of Southwest Florida. Golf courses, tennis courts and a swimming pool are in the neighborhood, while city-maintained parks and downtown Bonita Springs are just a short drive away. With ample recreation, residents could choose to stay behind the 24-hour staffed gate, but the nearby Gulf of Mexico encourages outdoor excursions. “It’s a straight shot to the beach,” says Michelle Abner, local Realtor with John R. Wood Properties, Christie’s International. “It’s two miles away; that’s really the biggest thing.”

Golf at the Spanish Wells Country Club

Spanish Wells Golf and Country Club, the hub for recreation, features 27 holes of championship-level golf that wind through water features, sand bunkers and mature palm trees. The country club also offers 3 Har-Tru tennis courts, a heated tropical swimming pool, and a recently renovated 32,0000-square-foot clubhouse. Membership in the club is optional for residents, and different levels are available. Bonita Community Park is 3.5 miles away and has numerous athletic facilities ranging from disc golf to baseball diamonds. And, of course, a day on the beach is never far as the lapping shores of Bonita Beach Park are just 2 miles away. Residents enjoy launching a paddleboard or just kicking their feet back to bask in the year-round sunshine of Southwest Florida. Barefoot Beach is nearby, and while it may be a little hard to find, it offers a more intimate beachfront setting. “Getting there, you have to drive through what looks like a closed-off community,” says Dirk Fischer, real estate broker and owner of 5th Homes. “But it’s the most beautiful beach in Southwest Florida; it's really a hidden gem.”

Three-bedroom single-family houses sell from $700,000 to $1 million, although the price has increased in recent years. “After 2021, prices here shot up,” Fischer says. “With all the improvements to the community, the neighborhood really started gaining traction from the outside public.”
