3011 & 3003 Riverside Drive, Punta Gorda, FL 33950

Property Description

Canal front property with the dock and lift already built. This sale combines two parcels at 3003 and 3011 Riverside Dr in Punta Gorda, totaling .33 acres, 14,280 square feet, with 119 feet of road frontage, 120 feet of depth, and a concrete seawall across the back of the property. The larger parcel at 3011 Riverside measures 80 x 120; the adjoining half lot at 3003 Riverside measures 39 x 120. Together they give you what a standard lot cannot: genuine room to set a custom home, a pool, and a yard without pressing against your side lines. Out back there is already a dock and a 10,000 pound boat lift in place. That is thousands of dollars and months of permitting, engineering, and marine construction you do not have to take on. From the canal you run out and west, under the I-75 bridge, toward Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf waters, or stay on the east side of the bridge and head up the Peace River for a quiet cruise. Zoned RMF-10, Charlotte County’s residential multifamily district, which permits up to 10 dwelling units an acre, or roughly three on this combined parcel. The immediate neighborhood reflects that flexibility, with single-family homes on adjoining RMF-10 parcels and duplexes just beyond. Build one substantial custom home and absorb the extra lot as side yard, pool deck, and privacy, or build income. Public water is available and a septic system would be needed to build. Buyer should confirm permitted uses with Charlotte County Zoning and request a site evaluation from the Florida Department of Health in Charlotte County before finalizing plans. The property is NOT located in a Scrub Jay review area, and the National Wetland Inventory mapper shows no wetlands on site. Boaters have options beyond their own dock. The Darst boat ramp is just down the street on Darst Avenue, launching into the south side of the Peace River, and the Laishley Park ramp sits in downtown Punta Gorda with parking, a fishing pier, and waterfront dining on site. Golfers are spoiled for choice, with Aileron Country Club, St. Andrews South, Twin Isles Country Club, Deep Creek Golf Club, and dozens more courses across Punta Gorda, Port Charlotte, and North Port. Sports fans have Charlotte Sports Park, spring training home of the Tampa Bay Rays, roughly 25 minutes out, and CoolToday Park in Wellen Park, home of the Atlanta Braves, an easy run up the interstate. The location is hard to beat. I-75 is about 5-minutes away for quick travel north and south throughout the state. Punta Gorda Airport is a short drive down the road for regional flights, and Fort Myers International (RSW) is about 45 minutes away for longer trips and arriving guests. Historic downtown Punta Gorda, Fishermen’s Village, shopping, dining, and medical care are all close. Beach days are roughly 45 minutes to an hour away, whether you point toward Englewood Beach, Boca Grande, Fort Myers, or Siesta Key. Two parcels, a dock and 10,000 pound lift already in place, Gulf and river access out your back door, and zoning flexible enough to build what you want.
