About this home
2755 CUSSELL DRIVE
Welcome to an extraordinary waterfront estate where 3.4 acres, exceptional boating access and resort-style living come together in one remarkable property. With approximately 1,561 feet of deep-water canal frontage, commanding wide-water views and boating access leading out to the harbor and beyond, this is the kind of Southwest Florida estate that immediately stands apart. On 9/9/26, two parcels were legally combined to create an exceptionally unique waterfront footprint. The consolidation may also provide an opportunity for reduced property taxes. Enter through the gated entrance and follow a palm tree lined driveway to this custom Stearns-built residence, offered fully furnished. Inside, the dramatic great room rises approximately 21 feet, with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, maple ceilings, cherry built-ins and an impressive open staircase. High-end craftsmanship and substantial architectural details carry throughout the home. A dedicated office and separate media room provide spaces designed specifically for working from home and relaxing or entertaining. Open up to the outside and the property transforms into a waterfront resort. The expansive lanai overlooks a zero-edge infinity pool and whirlpool, with a full outdoor kitchen, cypress ceilings, fire feature and generous entertaining areas. Watch manatees move through the canal, dolphins pass the dock and boats cruise by while entertaining poolside. From sunrise coffee by the water to sunset cocktails around the pool, this is a home built for the Florida lifestyle—where weekends feel like vacations and the hardest decision may be whether to take the boat or the golf cart. For boaters and anglers, a custom boathouse features a captain's walk and an 8,000-pound boat lift, while a 90-foot dock provides additional room for larger or visiting vessels. From here, explore Pine Island Sound, Sanibel, Captiva, Cayo Costa, Cabbage Key and the Gulf, with world-class fishing, waterfront restaurants and island destinations accessible by boat. The infrastructure behind the lifestyle is equally impressive, with impact windows, a whole-home and pool equipment generator, whole-house dehumidification system, 1,000-gallon buried propane tank, multi-zone air conditioning and ultra-high-speed internet connectivity. Even more impressive for a waterfront estate of this scale, current flood insurance is less than $1,700 annually. Two garages accommodate six vehicles, with high ceilings offering the potential to add lifts—an incredible setup for the car enthusiast, collector or anyone who needs room for the toys. Located just one mile from the heart of Saint James City, you can hop on your golf cart and enjoy local restaurants, bars, marinas and the laid-back island atmosphere that makes this community so unique. The real story here is difficult to duplicate: 3.4 acres, 1,561 feet of waterfront, serious boating infrastructure, a custom estate and resort-style outdoor living in one of Southwest Florida's most distinctive boating communities. After all, why own any old waterfront home when you can own one that is truly remembered?

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
