1018 Conecta Drive, Punta Gorda, FL

Under contract-accepting backup offers. One or more photo(s) was virtually staged. Welcome to 1018 Conecta Drive, where the screen door slides open and the canal stretches out in front of you, long, wide, and glittering all the way to the horizon. This is one of the most captivating waterfront settings available right now among homes for sale in Punta Gorda Isles. The draw here is the view, and it does not disappoint. From the moment you step onto the paver pool deck, a long, sweeping T-canal vista unfolds before you, framed by swaying palms and the quiet rhythm of boats drifting past. The free-form pool and spa anchor the outdoor living space, heated and ready for a sunrise swim or a sunset soak under the stars. A built-in BBQ and outdoor kitchen area make this lanai the kind of place where dinner parties migrate outside and never come back in. Gather around the glow of the spa, pour something cold, and let the evening stretch on long after the sun drops behind the palms. Step through the screen enclosure and the entertaining does not stop. A second, open-air patio sits just beyond the pool cage, perched right at the water's edge with seating built for watching boats drift by or hosting sunset cocktails in the open canal breeze. From there, a paver path continues down to your private 30-foot dock and 10,000-pound boat lift, set along 125 feet of seawall on deep, direct canal water. This is where the real magic of Punta Gorda Isles living happens. Climb aboard and in well under 15 minutes, crossing just a single bridge, you are tying up at Fisherman's Village for a long lunch on the water and a stroll along the boardwalk before casting off again. Time it right and you glide back in at golden hour, music drifting off the docks, the canal painted gold and pink. Mornings belong to quiet water and fishing the back bays; evenings belong to the harbor lights. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings carry an open, coastal feeling from the great room through to the primary suite,
