Marco Island Real Estate: Estate Homes

About Marco Island’s Estate Area:

Tucked in the southernmost part of the island, and the highest point above sea level in Southwest Florida, sits the beautiful estate area of Marco Island. Long known as one of the best fishing spots in the world, this charming enclave of Marco Island backs up to the Collier-Seminole State Park and lies moments from Ten Thousand Island and Gullivan Bay.

Estates Area: Amenities

There’s no shortage of delectable cuisine on the southern third of Marco Island. You’ll find fabulous steak and seafood restaurants, international flavors and healthy options. We also have several boutique shops combined with great eating at the Marco Walk Plaza. Because we’re located on the south end of Marco Island, everything you need is moments from your front door.

Aside from the beautiful beaches, world-class dining and shopping, and hours of sun-kissed, balmy breezes, residents here love the Marco Island Center for the Arts. The Marco Theater serves food and drinks, making it a wonderful place to catch the newest blockbusters while dining with friends and family.

Marco Island holds on to its local, community-centric feel by preventing franchises from taking over; you’ll find so many wonderful, locally owned shops, restaurants and service providers here that you’ll have a tough time finding elsewhere.

Parks and Recreation in the Marco Island Estates Area

The Marco Island Parks and Recreation Department offers several classes, activities and sports programs. You’ll find everything from bridge and canasta clubs to junior power tumbling and cardio classes. The Department also hosts concerts, movies in the park and the Marco Island Farmers’ Market, as well as maintain the public beaches in pristine condition.
