Iconic Vacant Lot - known as "Stairway to Heaven" on social media. Seize a unique opportunity to own a piece of Fort Myers Beach history with this remarkable lot at 5851 Estero. Famously dubbed the "Stairway to Heaven," this property gained national attention after a resilient white staircase was all that remained of a charming 1950s cottage that washed away by Hurricane Ian. The staircase, celebrated in an inspiring Naples News Press article, has become a symbol of hope and renewal. This property offers a blank canvas for your dream beach home. Whether you envision a private coastal retreat, a modern residence, or a boutique vacation rental, the lot’s unique story, prime location, and weekly rental zoning advantages promise to make it an extraordinary investment. Located in a prime spot on the island that is a convenient mile south of Publix and a mile north of CVS and Santini Plaza with soon to come restaurants and shopping.
