5489 Meadowlark Lane

Tucked on Meadowlark Lane in Bokeelia, Pine Island, Florida, this +/-0.19 acre property offers an accessible entry point into one of Southwest Florida's more laid-back coastal communities. Lee County Property Appraiser records show the home was built in 1972 on a lot of approximately 8,407 square feet, giving a new owner a manageable, low-maintenance parcel rather than a large yard to keep up. The street itself sees no through traffic, which keeps the immediate area quiet, and the property is close to the center of Pine Island, putting daily errands, local dining, and the town's marinas and waterfront within easy reach rather than a long drive away. Bokeelia sits at the tip of Pine Island, an 18-mile-long island in Charlotte Harbor known for its mangrove shoreline, working marinas, and a slower pace than the more built-up barrier islands nearby. The Greater Pine Island Chamber of Commerce describes the island as a place to enjoy fishing, birdwatching, local art, and waterfront dining, with year-round community events like the Island Market and MangoMania Festival. For anyone who fishes or boats, the Bokeelia Fishing Pier and Boat Ramp is a short drive from the property. The pier has drawn anglers for more than a century targeting snapper, redfish, and snook, and the adjacent boat ramp provides access to Charlotte Harbor and the waters around Cayo Costa State Park. That kind of nearby water access is a draw for both a primary homeowner or a rental tenant looking for a Pine Island base. Beyond the home itself, the property includes a shed or shop structure at the rear of the lot. This kind of bonus building adds real flexibility, whether it is used as a workshop, an art studio, or simply extra storage for boating and fishing gear, tools, or a small business. For a buyer who wants space to work with their hands or pursue a hobby without needing a large parcel, that separate structure is a meaningful asset. The combination of a small, manageable lot, a quiet no-through-traffic location, proximity to town, and a bonus shop building makes this a practical option for two different kinds of buyers. A first-time homebuyer gets an affordable way into homeownership on Pine Island without taking on a large property to maintain. An investor gets a rental-ready asset in a market where vacation and seasonal rental demand on Pine Island stays consistent thanks to the area's fishing, boating, and laid-back island appeal. Bokeelia's location also puts it within a reasonable drive of the broader Fort Myers and Cape Coral area, so residents and renters are not cut off from larger shopping, dining, and services while still enjoying the quieter island setting day to day.
