7169 BOUGAINVILLEA STREET, ENGLEWOOD, FL, 34224

Englewood's Gulf Coast lifestyle begins with this wooded homesite in FEMA Flood Zone X, outside the Special Flood Hazard Area, set on a residential street in the Port Charlotte subdivision. Approximately 7 miles separate the property from Englewood Beach and the barrier island shoreline of Manasota Key, where the Gulf of Mexico meets sand known for seashells and fossilized shark teeth. Zoned RSF3.5 for single-family residential use, the lot is a blank canvas for a custom Florida home designed around the way you want to live, from a screened lanai for evening breezes to room for kayaks, paddleboards, and fishing gear. The natural tree cover gives the site a green, established feel and the flexibility to shape a plan that suits your vision. There is no HOA and there are no deed restrictions, so the choices about style and design are yours to make within county building requirements. For builders and investors, the fundamentals are clear and easy to evaluate: single-family zoning, a standard homesite within a neighborhood of homes and vacant lots, a Flood Zone X designation, and no association oversight. It is a straightforward opportunity in one of Charlotte County's coastal communities. The setting is what makes Englewood special. Manasota Key offers Englewood Beach, Blind Pass Beach Park with nearly 3,000 feet of shoreline, and Stump Pass Beach State Park, about 8 miles from the lot, at the island's southern tip. On the inland side, Lemon Bay is a protected aquatic preserve of mangroves and seagrass, and Lemon Bay Park and Environmental Center is home to more than 150 bird species, with kayaking, fishing, and birding. About 7.5 miles away, historic Dearborn Street in Olde Englewood Village anchors the town with art galleries, antique shops, and local restaurants, plus a Thursday farmers market from October through May. The calendar fills with community favorites like the Lemon Bay Playhouse, the Fourth of July Firecracker Festival over Lemon Bay, and the Englewood Beach Waterfest with its offshore powerboat races. Waterfront dining, tiki bars, and bait shops keep the area's relaxed, old Florida character alive. Everyday needs are covered locally, with Publix, Walmart, Home Depot, and Bealls serving the Englewood area. Beyond town, Boca Grande and Gasparilla Island are about 14 miles away, and Charlotte Sports Park is about 9 miles. Travel is convenient with Punta Gorda Airport approximately 24 miles from the property, Sarasota Bradenton International Airport about 47 miles, and Southwest Florida International Airport about 61 miles. Whether you are planning a personal retreat or your next build, this homesite offers a chance to put down roots on Florida's Gulf Coast, with the beaches, bays, and village charm of Englewood close at hand.
