Custom built in 1993 on .88 acres along the deepwater Boca Grande Bayou, the house at 1500 E Railroad Avenue is reached through a two-gate entry and a circular driveway with a fountain, under a Spanish barrel tile roof and a turret-style portico hung with double mahogany doors. Its September 14, 2026 closing led five reported home sales that came to $18.82 million across the Cape Coral, Florida metro area for the week ending September 20, 2026.
No two of the week’s closings landed in the same municipality β Boca Grande, Bonita Springs, Miromar Lakes, Fort Myers and Sanibel each contributed one β and the houses behind them date from 1989 to 2020. Water runs through most of the list in different forms: a deepwater dock on the bayou, a marina and private beach park at Bonita Bay, a 700-acre lake at Miromar Lakes, and a lake and golf course framed by the windows of a Fort Myers house.
No. 1 — $7,720,000 · 1500 E Railroad Avenue, Boca Grande, Florida

Inside, the entry rises into a two-story foyer. The living room is anchored by a double-sided fireplace under a cypress wood beam ceiling, with arched windows fitted with interior shutters and triple sets of French doors facing the pool and the bayou.

A custom-designed pool sits between the house and the water. The dock is deepwater, with a covered boat slip and lift plus a small floating dock for launching kayaks, and the property has direct access to the Intracoastal Waterway. At ground level, shelled wraparound walkways connect multi-level spaces and storage, and the house includes a drive-in garage and a full basement, with further garage space beneath the main floor.

No. 2 — $3,750,000 · 27241 Ibis Cove CT, Bonita Springs, Florida
A renovated house on Ibis Cove Court in Bonita Springs sold for $3,750,000, second on the week’s list. The transaction closed September 16, 2026. Built in 1998, the four-bedroom residence carries four full bathrooms and a half bath across a reported 5,127 square feet, with an oversized three-car garage.
The interior was reworked from top to bottom before the sale, with new materials, finishes and cabinetry throughout. Soaring ceilings and an open-concept plan set the scale of the main level, where a climate-controlled wine wall holding 600 bottles stands as an architectural feature. The kitchen was rebuilt as the centerpiece of that plan, the bathrooms were finished to a spa specification, and the bedroom suites were appointed to match. Furnishings were offered as an option with the house.
Outside, a custom-designed pool anchors a private retreat, in a landscape worked by migrating ibis, heron and roseate spoonbills. Ibis Cove sits within Bonita Bay, a gated community whose amenities include an optional championship golf membership, a private beach park, tennis and pickleball, several dining venues including a waterfront restaurant, a full-service marina and miles of walking and biking paths.
