I have not been to captiva in years but back then there was no bridge leading to it. The only access was by aircraft or boat.

Still no (rebuilt) bridge but capable, full time shuttle, easy boat access, plane....Captiva isn't unique by a long shot for FL though. But few of the islands have their own airstrips which equates to a very unique living circumstance (as evidenced by the number of resales to average). Oh, even better, you can't get there from here! No wonder resales are hard. I giggle. Margy |

There are $10M homse on Captiva. The price of the home means nothing in terms of what I said, MOF, the higher the price of the home, including airstrip, further limits the resale market. These are not speculations, they are mathematical and historical facts. Duh, every "specialty" neighborhood poses a difficult time for resale. I for one would NEVER buy a house in a golf community, but I'm building in an aviation community. There are more golfers than pilots (sad, but true) so the market isn't as limited, but pilots are more fun :-}! It will be great when i's done!

P.S.. I was born and raised in Fla and you guys can have that god forsaken state now. Se habla espanol ?????????

Now who would want to live in one of those golf communities? Everyone knows that it is very dangerous to live on a golf-coarse. One of those errant hooks can come into your backyard, hit you on the head and kill you. |
