Cape Coral Vacant Land for Sale

Thinking of building a new home? Cape Coral’s vacant land for sale offers a wide range of possibilities. On the top end are direct access canal lots which will allow for sailboat access to the Gulf of Mexico. There are also more affordable canal lots which simply require navigating under a bridge(s) and fresh water canal lots which give you a canal system with lakes but no Gulf access. For those not requiring a canal there are a multitude of dry land lots.

Cape Coral covers an area of almost 150 miles. This means that there is still plenty of space for all, even as it is listed as one of the fastest growing cities in the country. Cape Coral’s vacant land for sale is still abundant and affordable.

The modern city of Cape Coral came into existence in the late 1950’s as a planned community. It was developed by the Rosen brothers who dug more than 400 miles of canals and marketed the property to snow-weary visitors from the north, as a place to retire or a new home in the sun. The brothers called the city a “Winter Wonderland” that would have more canals than the city of Venice, Italy. Today, Cape Coral attracts people from all over the world.

Investing in Cape Coral vacant land is also a popular option for those feeling limited by the investment options they have for their retirement funds. Self directed IRA’s allow the investor to choose where to invest their IRA money, as permitted under IRA rules. This includes real estate and many vacant land parcels have been purchased for this purpose. If you are interested in this as an investment alternative I can work with you to help you determine whether this may be an option for you.
