Welcome to 1285 Driftwood Drive, a beautifully maintained home in a desirable waterfront community offering peaceful views of Hancock Creek leading to the Caloosahatchee River. Enjoy watching manatees and other Florida wildlife right from your own backyard. Situated at an impressive 8-foot elevation, this property offers the perfect combination of Florida lifestyle, functionality, and peace of mind—with no city taxes, community fees, or deed restrictions.
Enjoy the beauty of the outdoors from the backyard, featuring a magnificent mature Live Oak and Mango tree. A circular driveway provides plenty of parking and attractive curb appeal. The spacious 3-car garage features separate bays and 230-volt electrical service, making it ideal for a workshop, welding, hobbies, or additional storage. Additional storage includes space above the garage and a separate garden storage area.
Inside, enjoy beautiful views through a three-panel sliding glass door with an automatic shade, creating a seamless connection between the indoor living space and the outdoors. Hurricane shutters for the lanai provide added protection and peace of mind.
The home has been thoughtfully maintained and updated, including a new roof in 2018, water heater in 2021, new appliances including washer and dryer in 2022, and a new A/C system in 2022. The interior was painted and new carpet installed in 2023. In 2026, the bathrooms received new cabinetry, the exterior was freshly painted, and the garage interior was also painted. Additional features include transferable flood insurance and a complete set of the home’s original plans.
Enjoy the convenience of Judd Park, a county-maintained community amenity located within walking distance, offering two dog parks, multiple tennis courts, a tot lot, a FREE public boat ramp, and an illuminated baseball field. The location is exceptionally convenient—approximately one-half mile from the Cape Coral city limits and approximately one mile from the Edison Bridge connecting North Fort Myers to Fort Myers. Shopping, dining, entertainment, beaches, Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW), and Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport are all easily accessible.
With scenic water views, opportunities to watch manatees, desirable elevation, mature landscaping, abundant storage, an oversized 3-car garage, extensive updates, no deed restrictions, and an outstanding central location, 1285 Driftwood Drive offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the Southwest Florida lifestyle without the restrictions and fees found in many communities.
