Extra Land in SWFL

Frey & Son clients build their custom Southwest Florida dream home for access to beautiful sugar-sand beaches, turquoise waters, and endless sunshine. But some clients are seeking a lifestyle beyond the condo or gated community and choose to build a home on acreage. This path offers a world of possibilities, from equestrian pursuits to private retreats, tailored perfectly to your dreams. Here are just a few reasons why building a home on acreage in Southwest Florida might be the perfect choice for your forever home. 

 

Design Your Dream Home 

Choosing to build your home on acreage eliminates the limitations of pre-built homes and cookie-cutter neighborhoods. Building on acreage gives you the freedom to design your dream home from the ground up. Many unique styles of homes can work when you have the extra space to utilize. Consider a sprawling single story residence ideal for entertaining, a luxurious two-story masterpiece with stunning views, or even an eco-friendly dwelling that seamlessly integrates with the natural landscape. Southwest Florida’s mild climate allows for year-round outdoor living, so incorporate spacious lanais, screened porches, and expansive windows to truly connect with your surroundings. 

 

Unparalleled Privacy 

From a few sprawling acres to expansive estates, Southwest Florida boasts a variety of options that give you unparalleled privacy. Imagine stargazing from your backyard with no light pollution, or enjoying a peaceful morning coffee on your porch without the sounds of nearby construction. This seclusion fosters a sense of tranquility and allows you to create your own personal oasis. 

 

Store yours RV Without Compromise 

When you’re taking a break from the road, having a home base that includes a place to store your RV is priceless. Building on acreage eliminates the hassle of finding and paying for RV storage. Imagine dedicating a designated space on your property to park your RV, keeping it readily accessible for spontaneous weekend getaways or longer adventures. This convenience allows you to maximize your enjoyment of the RV lifestyle without any limitations. 

 

Home for your Horses 

Imagine creating a custom-designed stable, complete with ample paddocks and riding arenas, all within the comfort of your own property. Southwest Florida offers a vibrant equestrian community with numerous riding trails, events, and boarding facilities nearby. Whether you’re a seasoned rider or just starting out, having your horses at home allows you to connect with them on a deeper level and enjoy the therapeutic benefits of horseback riding whenever you please.
