A private estate where acreage, architecture, and Southwest Florida living converge
San Carlos Estates is the only neighborhood in Bonita Springs where you can own 1.25 acres of high-and-dry land, live five minutes from downtown and eight miles from the Gulf, and answer to absolutely no one. No HOA. No CDD. No architectural review board. No rules about your boat, your RV, your workshop, or your chickens. In a region built on gated communities and deed restrictions, San Carlos Estates stands completely apart.
24000 Claire Street is located within San Carlos Estates — one of Bonita Springs’ most distinctive neighborhoods. AG-2 zoned, no HOA, no CDD, and Flood Zone X, with approximately 1.25-acre lots on private roads, all within Bonita Springs city limits. For a complete overview of the community — zoning, private road assessment, what AG-2 actually allows, and what buyers and sellers need to know — visit our San Carlos Estates neighborhood guide.
This is the single most important thing to understand about San Carlos Estates: there is no other neighborhood in Bonita Springs where you can own true acreage and still be this close to town. Five miles to downtown. Four miles to Coconut Point. Eight miles to the Gulf. Lots typically run 1.25 acres, with some larger and some smaller — but all generous. No other acreage community in SWFL offers this combination of space and location. The ones that do exist are far out — in the rural corridors of Estero or deep in unincorporated Lee County. San Carlos puts you in the center of everything while still giving you the land and freedom of estate living.
AG-2 agricultural zoning means San Carlos Estates operates by an entirely different set of rules than anywhere else in the area. Lots vary — most are 1.25 acres, some run larger — but all give you genuine room to spread out. RVs, boats, workshops, pole barns, guest houses, hobby farms, horses — all permitted. Want a detached garage with a guest apartment above? Done. A workshop for the car collection? Absolutely. Solar panels, a chicken coop, a greenhouse? No one is going to stop you. In a region saturated with HOA communities where you need permission to paint your front door, this kind of freedom is extraordinarily rare.
The trajectory of San Carlos Estates is unmistakable. New custom estates in the $2–4 million range are rising throughout the community, drawn by the same combination of acreage, freedom, and location that makes this neighborhood unlike anywhere else. Early buyers who recognized the value here have watched their investment appreciate as the neighborhood's reputation has grown. This is not a community that peaked — it is one that is still becoming what it will be.

In a state where flood insurance costs have become a defining financial burden for homeowners, San Carlos Estates sits in FEMA Flood Zone X — the preferred, minimal-risk designation. No flood insurance is required. High, dry, upland lots throughout the community mean no water intrusion anxiety, no costly elevation certificates, and none of the flood insurance sticker shock that has rattled coastal buyers across Southwest Florida.
San Carlos Estates has the rare quality of feeling like a private community without the restrictions of one. Privately owned streets and a semi-gated entry on one end discourage through-traffic, keeping the neighborhood quiet and safe for evening walks, golf cart rides, and kids on bikes. You get the benefit of a tight-knit enclave with none of the HOA enforcement, fees, or bureaucracy that comes with managed communities.
What if home felt less like a subdivision and more like your own private piece of Southwest Florida? Welcome to a lifestyle built around space, privacy, and freedom on 1.25 acres in San Carlos Estates. Tucked away at the quiet end of Claire Street with no pass-through traffic and a canal bordering one side, this special property gives you room to breathe, room to play, and room to live life on your terms — with sunsets and rainbows putting on unforgettable shows right from your own backyard.
Built in 2018, this beautifully designed 4-bedroom, 3-bath pool home offers 2,482 square feet of refined yet comfortable living with no HOA and flexible AG-2 zoning. Bring the RV, create the garden you've always wanted, enjoy space for horses, add a future workshop or office, or simply appreciate having open land around you instead of another home just feet away.
Inside, diagonally laid Coretec luxury vinyl plank flooring adds warmth and character throughout, while marble-appointed bathrooms and custom finishes create an elevated, resort-inspired feel. Thoughtful construction features include a metal roof, whole-house PEX plumbing, and R-30 blown attic insulation for durability and efficiency. The three-car garage carries the same attention to detail, with epoxied floors and even a Tonal smart gym for a private home fitness space, while a new LG matte-black washer and dryer add smartphone-scheduled convenience to daily life.
Then step outside and experience what Florida living is supposed to feel like. The heated pool, installed in 2020 and reaching six feet deep, is surrounded by an expansive 1,154-square-foot screened lanai and brick-paver patio — the perfect setting for morning coffee, lazy afternoons in the pool, weekend gatherings, and quiet evenings watching the sky change color over your own backyard. New landscaping and full-property irrigation keep the acreage lush and inviting, while a 30-amp RV hookup with water at the rear of the property provides a dedicated home base for your motorhome, guests, or next adventure.
Located in Flood Zone X, this property delivers the combination buyers search for but rarely find together: 1.25 acres, privacy, no HOA, AG-2 zoning, a heated pool, three-car garage, RV hookup, and a 2018-built home — yet you're still convenient to Bonita Beach, Coconut Point, I-75, RSW Airport, shopping, and dining. San Carlos Estates is about having the freedom to spread out, bring your toys, enjoy your land, and create the Southwest Florida lifestyle that fits you. This isn't simply a home — it's space to breathe, freedom to create, and the opportunity to live differently.

The Bonita Springs Lifestyle
Bonita Beach is an easy 8-mile drive — uncrowded, local, and spectacular. Barefoot Beach Preserve, one of the last truly undisturbed Gulf beaches in Southwest Florida, is minutes away. White sand, clear water, and golden sunsets are part of your daily life here.
Downtown Bonita Springs has undergone a genuine renaissance. Riverside Park hosts live concerts, kayak launches, and Saturday farmers markets. Shangri-La Springs brings organic farm-to-table dining. The Sugar Shack delivers live music. A real, walkable downtown — just 5 miles from your door.
The Bonita Estero Rail Trail (BERT) — an 11.4-mile walking, running, and cycling greenway — is set to run directly through Bonita Springs. With over $7M pledged and a purchase agreement signed, this is one of SWFL's most anticipated infrastructure investments. Trail access is a proven driver of home values.
Launch a kayak from Riverside Park into the Imperial River, a gateway to the 190-mile Great Calusa Blueway. Paddle through cypress-shaded freshwater with eagles, osprey, and manatees for company. CGT Kayaks rents paddlecraft right downtown. Water life starts five miles away.
One of Southwest Florida's most anticipated projects is transforming this region. BERT will convert 11.4 miles of unused Seminole Gulf Railway corridor into a world-class multi-use trail running directly through Bonita Springs and Estero. Collier County has pledged nearly $7 million, a $60 million purchase agreement is in progress, and 31 communities representing over 25,500 homes have formally endorsed it. Research consistently shows trail proximity increases home values and drives economic activity — making BERT not just a lifestyle win, but a smart bet on the future of this neighborhood.
One of Florida's most pristine Gulf beaches — no high-rises, no overdevelopment. White sand, clear water, gopher tortoises, and unspoiled SWFL. Perfect for shelling, kayaking, or a long sunset walk.
