Set along quiet, storied Binder Drive—where Captiva’s most beloved waterfront homes line the bay—15009 Binder Drive, known as Limoncello, is a rare bayfront estate that seamlessly blends classic island character with refined coastal living. With sweeping water views, deep-water dockage, and a thoughtfully reimagined design, this property offers an exceptional Captiva lifestyle both on land and sea. The main residence is light-filled and expansive, showcasing panoramic bayfront vistas, soaring vaulted ceilings, and impact-rated windows and doors that frame the natural beauty of the surroundings. The floor plan features three spacious bedrooms, four full baths, and a powder room, designed for both everyday comfort and elegant entertaining. The gourmet kitchen is a true centerpiece, complete with top-of-the-line appliances, waterfall quartz countertops, custom wood cabinetry, designer lighting, and a paneled refrigerator. A stylish wet bar with refrigerator drawers, ice maker, and custom shelving enhances the home’s effortless flow for hosting. The bayfront primary suite is a private retreat, offering tranquil water views, dual walk-in closets, a private balcony, and a spa-inspired bath with soaking tub and walk-in shower. Outdoors, the property unfolds into a private tropical oasis featuring a fenced pool, lush landscaping, artificial turf, a putting green, expansive decking, and a screened porch. Boating enthusiasts will appreciate the deep-water dockage with a 32, 000-lb boat lift, two jet ski lifts, and a kayak/paddleboard platform—perfect for watching the Lady Chadwick pass by or heading straight out to the Gulf. Two additional guest residences complete the estate: a charming one-bedroom cottage and an elevated one-bedroom suite with a mini kitchen, ideal for hosting friends, family, or creating private retreats. Originally built in 1964—just one year after the Sanibel Causeway connected Captiva to the mainland—this home sits on land once part of the homestead of William Herbert Binder, Captiva’s first modern settler, later incorporated into Captain Frank A. Lane’s historic “Lane’s Bay View.” Today, Limoncello honors that legacy while delivering modern luxury in one of Captiva’s most treasured settings. 15009 Binder Drive is more than a home—it’s a front-row seat to Captiva’s past, present, and timeless waterfront lifestyle.
