wildblue

WildBlue is a gated master-planned community in Fort Myers near Estero, located along the Corkscrew Road corridor east of I-75. The community is distinguished by its expansive natural setting, with more than 800 acres of freshwater lakes and approximately 1,300 acres of preserve land incorporated throughout the development. WildBlue consists of single-family homes in a wide range of residential settings, including lakefront, lake-view, preserve-view and interior homesites. Multiple builders contributed to the community, creating greater variety in architecture, home size and design than buyers might find in a development constructed exclusively by one builder.

Water is central to the WildBlue lifestyle in a way that goes well beyond simply providing attractive views. The community's large freshwater lakes support boating, fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding and other water recreation, with community launch facilities and private docks available in select locations. WildBlue complements its lake lifestyle with an extensive collection of resort-style amenities, including swimming, fitness, tennis, pickleball, bocce, basketball, dining, trails and social spaces. There is no golf course or mandatory golf membership, allowing the community to focus instead on water, recreation, fitness and an active social lifestyle.
