More about Jesse McGreevy, Marc Comisar and our team on the McGreevy and Comisar about page.
McGreevy and Comisar are a Bonita Springs buyer’s team, and this is our buying plan for a home in Barefoot Estates at Barefoot Beach, six single-family homes on seven roll parcels inside the gate of Barefoot Beach. The full neighborhood record sits in our Barefoot Estates guide. This page turns it into steps.
Bonita Springs or Naples? The mailing address says Bonita Springs, ZIP 34134, but the Estates sit in unincorporated Collier County, inside neither city, so the county sets taxes, flood rules, permits and schools. This is not a condominium: owners hold deeds and belong to the Barefoot Beach Property Owners Association under chapter 720. It is also not Barefoot Beach Club, the 348-unit condominium community, and not The Club at Barefoot Beach, a private member club whose membership does not convey with a deed. The Southwest Florida MLS figures on this page were pulled October 3, 2026.
To buy a home in Barefoot Estates at Barefoot Beach in 2026, start with paperwork, not price: get the Florida Statute 720.401 disclosure summary before you sign, get the Association’s lease position in writing, order an elevation certificate, and price from the nearest recorded sale, because the county holds one qualified Estates sale in five years.
These are the nine facts a Barefoot Estates buyer should know in October 2026, each explained in the section that covers it.
Each link below jumps to its part of this page.

Recent Barefoot Estates buyer track record (last 12 months): The Southwest Florida MLS, pulled October 3, 2026, shows 1 Barefoot Estates closing in the 12 months to that date and 2 in the last 60 months. Our Estates buyer count is zero, and our share of transactions is 0 of 1 in the last 12 months and 0 of 2 in the last 60: McGreevy and Comisar closed no sale at Barefoot Estates through the Southwest Florida MLS in the 60 months to October 3, 2026, on either the listing or the buying side. What we can document is what we tracked: we tracked every one of the 6 Barefoot Estates sales in the county record, going back to 1997, and all seven roll parcels. The team-wide totals above are not Estates numbers.

Barefoot Estates recorded 1 county-qualified sale in the 60 months since October 2021, $7,800,000 on April 22, 2026, and 6 in all recorded history since March 1997. These are county records of qualified Department of Revenue sales, not Southwest Florida MLS closings, and a handful of deeds across 29 years cannot set a price.
Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser public data files, 2026 preliminary roll, sales through August 24, 2026)
We widen the window to 12, 24, 36 and then 60 months until it holds 10 qualified sales, and list the sales when it does not. The Estates never reach 10. The county files are dated August 29 and 31, 2026, and the newest recorded sale in them is dated August 24, 2026.
| Window | Qualified sales (n) | Lowest | Highest |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last 12 months (since October 2025) | 1 | $7,800,000 | $7,800,000 |
| Last 24 months (since October 2024) | 1 | $7,800,000 | $7,800,000 |
| Last 36 months (since October 2023) | 1 | $7,800,000 | $7,800,000 |
| Last 60 months (since October 2021) | 1 | $7,800,000 | $7,800,000 |
| All recorded history (since March 1997) | 6 | $1,000,000 | $7,800,000 |
Each row is a county-qualified sale. Price per square foot divides the price by the county base area, which is not an MLS living area.
| Date | Address | Year built | Base area (sq ft) | Price | Per base sq ft | Official Records |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| March 24, 1997 | 109 Felipe Ln | 2000 | 3,079 | $1,000,000 | Not computed (deed predates the house) | OR 2297 PG 1737 |
| October 3, 2011 | 105 Felipe Ln | 2008 | 2,744 | $6,300,000 | $2,296 | OR 4725 PG 1064 |
| December 10, 2014 | 215 Barefoot Beach Blvd | 2000 | 2,263 | $3,300,000 | $1,458 | OR 5105 PG 1065 |
| April 27, 2017 | 101 Felipe Ln | 2001 | 2,600 | $3,700,000 | $1,423 | OR 5388 PG 2677 |
| January 21, 2021 | 105 Felipe Ln | 2008 | 2,744 | $5,630,000 | $2,052 | OR 5881 PG 2730 |
| April 22, 2026 | 105 Felipe Ln | 2008 | 2,744 | $7,800,000 | $2,843 | OR 6581 PG 255 |
The six sales total $27,730,000. Three are the same house, 105 Felipe Ln, at $6,300,000, $5,630,000 and $7,800,000. No qualified sale is on record for either Saint Eustacius Ln home.
The 1997 deed predates the house, so it reads as a homesite sale. The five sales of finished homes run from $3,300,000 to $7,800,000, a spread explained by year and house, not market direction. One house sold three times is one line of evidence, and we draw no trend from it. Treat the six deeds as the full list of known comparables, and read our Barefoot Estates guide and the neighboring lanes for a second opinion.
The county’s index shows one more recorded deed in the last 60 months that it did not flag as qualified: December 8, 2022, $16,100,000, at 110 Saint Eustacius Ln, OR 6198 PG 83. It is a separate series and never folded into the counts above. We draw no conclusion about why it was excluded, but a buyer should know that the highest recorded deed on this street is not in the qualified record, so ask any agent which deeds sit behind the comparables.
The Southwest Florida MLS, pulled October 3, 2026, shows 1 Barefoot Estates closing in the 12 months to that date and 2 in the last 60 months. The 12-month sale, on Felipe Lane, closed April 24, 2026 at $7,800,000, which is 91.8% of its final list price of $8,500,000, after 99 days on market. The other, on Saint Eustacius Lane, closed December 12, 2022 at $16,100,000 against a final list price of $16,875,000, with 1 day on market recorded. We publish no median on 2 sales. No Barefoot Estates home was listed for sale or under contract on October 3, 2026, so months of supply is zero, an indicative figure on 1 closing in 12 months. We keep these figures apart from the county record, because the two sources count differently.
Barefoot Estates holds six homes built from 1997 to 2008, with county base areas from 2,263 to 3,112 square feet and 2026 preliminary just values from $5,616,107 to $14,286,845. Two sit on parcels that reach the Gulf and four are near-Gulf, so the right home depends on which coastal exposure you want to carry.
Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser public data files, 2026 preliminary roll, sales through August 24, 2026)
| Address | Lot | Year built | Base area (sq ft) | 2026 preliminary just value | Position |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 110 Saint Eustacius Ln | 1 and 2 combined | 1997 | 2,370 | $14,286,845 | Parcel reaches the Gulf |
| 102 Saint Eustacius Ln | 3 | 1999 | 3,112 | $5,707,618 | Near-Gulf |
| 215 Barefoot Beach Blvd | 4 | 2000 | 2,263 | $5,733,120 | Near-Gulf |
| 101 Felipe Ln | 5 | 2001 | 2,600 | $6,782,867 | Near-Gulf |
| 105 Felipe Ln | 6 | 2008 | 2,744 | $5,616,107 | Near-Gulf |
| 109 Felipe Ln | 7 | 2000 | 3,079 | $8,737,312 | Parcel reaches the Gulf |
Just value is the county’s valuation for tax purposes, not a price or an appraisal. Base area is the county’s field for the largest building, not living area.
A 1995 plat divided the old Block E lots and a beach garden tract into seven homesites plus a common tract. Lots 1 and 2 sit under one house at 110 Saint Eustacius Ln, which is why seven lots carry six homes. The seventh roll parcel, Tract A at 115 Felipe Ln, is the common area, valued on the roll at $100, never a home. Every homesite is improved.
By our reading of the public map layers, three of the seven roll parcels reach the Gulf: 109 Felipe Ln, 110 Saint Eustacius Ln and the common tract. That makes two homes Gulf-reaching, and we will not call the whole enclave Gulf front. Recorded beach rights for each lot are a question for the title commitment and the Association’s documents, and we found no public statement of them.
A buyer who wants a large house on a very small street inside a gated barrier island, and who will buy on documents instead of a brochure, fits here. A buyer who needs a published fee schedule on day one, short-term rental flexibility, or one flood and rebuild answer for every lot should look harder.
Ordinance 2019-44 reads as a Tract D rule of three habitable floors that extends to the Estates section, while the county’s staff report for it describes three habitable floors over parking and a 70-foot height. The lanes received three stories and 70 feet in Ordinance 2001-35. A written zoning verification from Collier County Growth Management settles which reading applies to a lot.
An owner in Barefoot Estates at Barefoot Beach pays county property tax, insurance and association assessments, but no public record states a dollar figure for the assessments, so the number comes from an estoppel certificate. This section names each layer, quotes the recorded fee rules and gives the route to the real figure.
The Barefoot Beach Master Association owns the roughly 1.8-mile boulevard and staffs the gate around the clock, and the Property Owners Association is one of its eight member entities. We could not confirm how its cost reaches Estates owners and found no Master Association budget, so ask for it.
The 2009 declaration, OR 4430 PG 3692, sets a late fee of the greater of $25 or 5 percent of the unpaid amount and fines of up to $100 per violation. A 2010 amendment, OR 4586 PG 823, added a board-set Resale Assessment in section 7.10 with no dollar figure. The Estates count as 11 of the community’s 136 shares, about 8.1 percent, and we found no dollar allocation among the seven plots.
The 1995 covenants name Beach Garden “E” Association, Inc., which merged into the Property Owners Association on March 27, 2000, according to the state’s corporate record. We found no separate Estates dues figure, so if a seller cites one, ask for the instrument.
Under Florida Statute 720.30851, an owner or the owner’s agent can request an estoppel certificate stating all assessments, any resale assessment and unpaid amounts, issued within a fixed number of business days for a capped fee. We request it for every buyer and budget from it, and our Barefoot Estates guide lists every fee layer.
Four layers of recorded documents govern a Barefoot Estates home: the 1995 covenants, the Property Owners Association’s 2009 declaration and amendments, the Master Association’s documents for the gate and boulevard, and the planned unit development ordinances. Under chapter 720, a buyer asks for these papers because the statute does not require the seller to deliver them.
Under Florida Statute 720.401, the seller must present a disclosure summary before the buyer signs. The 3-day cancellation right exists only when the summary was not provided before signing: the buyer may then cancel within 3 days after receiving it or before closing, whichever comes first. The statute does not require delivery of the governing documents or the budget.

Milestone inspections and structural integrity reserve studies apply to condominium and cooperative buildings of three habitable stories or more, under Florida Statute 553.899 and Florida Statute 718.112. Six detached homes under chapter 720 are outside both. Ask instead for the Association’s budget, reserve schedule and financial statement, the plan for the twelve side lanes including drainage, the Master Association’s boulevard and gate reserve, and a home inspection.
Barefoot Estates owners can lease, but two recorded documents give two different minimum terms: the 1995 covenants allow leasing to a single family for at least one month, and the 2009 Property Owners Association declaration allows one lease a year with a 90-day minimum. We do not pick one as settled; get the Association’s answer in writing before you sign.
The 1995 covenants, OR 2120 PG 1745, allow leasing to a single family for at least one month, and the scan of the word month is partly garbled, so confirm it against the original image. The 2009 declaration, OR 4430 PG 3692, section 10, allows one lease per calendar year with a 90-day minimum and a one-year maximum, 30 days’ notice to the Association, board approval and no subleasing. No document we read says expressly which prevails.
Ask the Association in writing, before you sign, which rule it enforces on the Estates, and attach the answer to the contract. Until you have it, price the stricter reading into your plan. Collier County Ordinance 2021-45 also requires registration of a home rented for fewer than 30 days more than three times a year, with fines of up to $500 per violation per day.
The 1995 covenants allow dogs, cats, caged birds and aquarium fish on a leash, and other animals with approval. The 2009 declaration, section 8.22, allows pets in reasonable numbers on a leash. We found no breed or weight limit, so ask what number the board treats as reasonable. Barefoot Beach Preserve does not allow dogs, according to the county. Architectural approval for exterior changes or rebuilds is not stated in the passages we read, so ask for the current guidelines before you plan work.
Every Barefoot Estates address we tested sits in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, in zone AE at base flood elevations of 11 to 12 feet NAVD88, and by our reading of the public map layers three of the seven parcels also reach the VE zone at 13 to 16 feet. We publish no premium, because the elevation certificate and carrier decide it.
We queried FEMA’s flood layer and the county’s parcel layer on October 1, 2026, for five addresses on FIRM panel 12021C0179J, effective February 8, 2024. Footprint shares are our reading of the public map layers and not a flood determination.
| Address | Zone and base flood elevation at the point | Building footprint by zone (our reading of the public map layers) |
|---|---|---|
| 101 Felipe Ln | AE 11 | AE 11 98%, AE 10 2% |
| 115 Felipe Ln (Tract A) | AE 12 | No footprint matched |
| 102 Saint Eustacius Ln | AE 11 | AE 11 100% |
| 110 Saint Eustacius Ln | AE 12 | AE 12 68%, VE 13 32% |
| 215 Barefoot Beach Blvd | AE 11 | AE 11 100% |
We did not test 105 or 109 Felipe Ln at the address point. In our parcel screen of all seven parcels, VE touches 109 Felipe Ln, 110 Saint Eustacius Ln and 115 Felipe Ln, and 105 Felipe Ln shows AE only. A building in more than one zone is rated in the more hazardous zone, so 110 Saint Eustacius Ln deserves an elevation certificate before an offer. A parcel touching a zone does not mean the house is in it.
Collier County requires new floodplain residences to be built with the lowest living floor at least 1 foot above base flood elevation, and its Ordinance 2019-01 requires a repair or improvement costing 50 percent or more of the building’s value to meet current standards. Ask the county’s floodplain staff before pricing a renovation. FEMA’s preliminary map, dated March 20, 2025, re-issues the panel as 0179K with the same zone and elevation at every point we tested, and it is not final until adopted.
No tested point is inside a Coastal Barrier Resources System unit, so federal flood insurance is available. Under Florida Statute 627.351, Citizens may not insure a major structure that was newly built, or rebuilt or enlarged by more than 25 percent, under a permit applied for after July 1, 2015 and seaward of the coastal construction control line. We do not state whether any Estates home qualifies. The National Flood Insurance Program caps building coverage at $250,000, according to FloodSmart, so owners at these values ask about private excess flood coverage. Ask the seller for a wind-mitigation inspection, which Florida Statute 627.0629 requires insurers to credit, and quote the exact address.
Barefoot Estates is in Evacuation Zone A, the first zone ordered out, and the only way off the island is the gate and then Bonita Beach Road east. Follow Collier County’s orders and check your zone at Florida’s Know Your Zone.
We found no building-level damage report or permit history for any Barefoot Estates home, and we assert none. Hurricane Ian made landfall on September 28, 2022, with 8 to 12 feet of inundation above ground reported by the National Hurricane Center in Bonita Beach, Bonita Springs, Estero and North Naples, so request each home’s permit record.
The county roll shows no Estates home built after 2008, and we draw no storm conclusion from that, because a home repaired in place or rebuilt under an old date would not change the field. A U.S. Geological Survey high-water mark of 11.76 feet NAVD88 on Barefoot Beach Boulevard at Anguilla Lane is in the northern part of the community, so we use it only to say that Ian’s surge on the island exceeded the mapped base flood elevation at one recorded point.
Ask the seller and the county for the permit history for the house and any pool, dock or seawall, and ask whether every permit was closed. For work seaward of the state’s coastal construction control line, ask for the state permit and its date, because under Florida Statute 161.053 most construction seaward of the line needs one, and the date can decide insurance eligibility. Sea turtle lighting limits apply within 300 feet of mean high water under Collier County Land Development Code section 3.04.02.
A buyer can finance a home in Barefoot Estates at Barefoot Beach, and lenders will ask for the Association’s documents, a flood determination, wind and flood insurance and an appraisal built on very few recent sales. There is no condominium questionnaire here, because the homes are fee-simple parcels under chapter 720, and we name no lender.
A cash buyer skips the appraisal and lender’s file, but not the estoppel, insurance quotes or title work. A loan also adds two state taxes, worked through below.
A Barefoot Estates buyer should budget about $58,838 a year in property tax on a home valued at the county median just value of $6,257,994, before exemptions, plus one-time closing costs. Florida’s deed tax on the recorded $7,800,000 sale is $54,600, which Collier custom assigns to the seller, and the buyer customarily pays the owner’s title policy.
Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser public data files, 2026 preliminary roll, sales through August 24, 2026)
The county’s 2026 preliminary millage on every Estates parcel is 9.4020 mills: county 3.9293, school 4.1470 and other 1.3257, with no municipal levy. Check: 3.9293 + 4.1470 + 1.3257 = 9.4020. As an illustration for a non-homestead purchase at the median just value, before exemptions and non-ad valorem charges: $6,257,993.50 divided by 1,000, times 9.4020, is $58,837.65. At the lowest just value on the roll, $5,616,107, the same arithmetic gives $52,802.64.
The county’s actual 2026 preliminary tax bills for the six homes are $22,124.13, $30,242.14, $50,868.27, $52,802.65, $63,772.52 and $134,324.92, a median of $51,835.46. The three lowest belong to homestead parcels, whose assessments are capped by law, so they do not forecast your bill.
After a sale, Florida resets the new owner’s assessment to just value as of January 1 of the following year, under Florida Statute 193.155, and section 193.1554 does the same for non-homestead residential property. If the county’s valuation of a home moved to the $7,800,000 recorded price, 9.4020 mills would produce $73,335.60 ($7,800,000 divided by 1,000, times 9.4020). That is arithmetic, not a forecast. A full-time resident can claim the homestead exemption under section 196.031, and the seller must give the tax disclosure that Florida Statute 689.261 calls for.
| Closing item on a $7,800,000 purchase | Arithmetic | Who customarily pays | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deed documentary stamps | 78,000 times $0.70 | Seller | $54,600 |
| Owner’s title policy and closing agent | Rates not computed here | Buyer | Not computed |
| Mortgage documentary stamps, example $5,000,000 loan | 50,000 times $0.35 | Buyer | $17,500 |
| Nonrecurring intangible tax, same loan | $5,000,000 times 0.002 | Buyer | $10,000 |
| Estoppel certificate | Capped by statute; no dollar figure here | Per contract | Confirm with the Association |
In Collier County the buyer customarily pays the owner’s title policy and chooses the closing agent, and the seller customarily pays the deed stamps under Florida Statute 201.02, $0.70 per $100. The loan taxes come from Florida Statute 201.08 and Florida Statute 199.133. The contract controls every line, and the loan amount is an example, not advice. A closing statement also carries recording fees, lender charges, a survey and prorations.
Since the National Association of Realtors settlement changes took effect on August 17, 2024, offers of compensation can no longer be published on an MLS, and a buyer and a buyer’s agent need a written agreement before touring a home. Compensation is set by agreement and is fully negotiable, not set by law or by the seller’s listing.
The association’s settlement FAQs and its Written Buyer Agreements 101 page describe the rules. Any agent should tell you in writing, before touring, how the agent is paid, by whom and what you owe if the seller does not pay. We put ours in the agreement before we tour, and our buyer representation page explains how we work. A buyer may ask a seller to pay the buyer’s agent as an offer term.
Collier County Public Schools’ 2026-27 locator, tested at 101 Felipe Ln, assigned Naples Park Elementary, North Naples Middle School and Aubrey Rogers High School. We tested one address, and attendance zones are assigned by address and can change, so verify your home in the district’s locator before you rely on this list.
Our driving estimates, measured from two other Barefoot Beach addresses and not from the Estates, ran from 7.7 to 9.2 miles to the three schools. We publish no school grades; the Florida Department of Education posts them on its school grade report, and the district’s transportation page states bus eligibility.
Daily life at Barefoot Estates runs through one staffed gate and one private road, Barefoot Beach Boulevard to Bonita Beach Road, with the beach preserve nearby. The distances below are estimates measured from a point near 260 Barefoot Beach Blvd, not from the Estates, and several services are not confirmed for these addresses.
The Master Association owns the boulevard and staffs the guardhouse around the clock under the 2009 Turnover Agreement, which bars public parking on the main roadway, and the Property Owners Association kept the twelve side lanes, including Felipe and Saint Eustacius. The State of Florida also holds a permanent 60-foot ingress and egress easement over the boulevard corridor, recorded in 1988. We characterize no dispute. The gate’s guest and broker procedure is not published, so ask for it in writing.
The county’s Barefoot Beach Preserve page describes 342 acres, open daily from 8 a.m. to sunset, with a $10 pay-to-park fee for visitors without a county resident permit and no dogs. The Estates have no amenities of their own that we could confirm. The Club at Barefoot Beach at 105 Shell Dr is a separate private member club, and nothing we found ties an Estates deed to membership.
From a point near 260 Barefoot Beach Blvd, our estimates are about 0.9 miles to the gate corner, 3.2 miles to US 41, 6.7 miles to Interstate 75 exit 116 and 22.2 miles to Southwest Florida International Airport. The water and sewer provider, gas, internet and trash pickup days are not confirmed for these addresses, so ask the county and your inspector.
Buy Barefoot Estates if you want six large Gulf-side homes inside the gate and can accept a very thin record, and buy Bayfront Gardens if you want a bay-side home with a dock question to answer and a few more sales to study. Bayfront Gardens has 27 homes on 33 homesites; Barefoot Estates has six on seven.
| Question | Barefoot Estates | Bayfront Gardens | Who it fits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Homes | 6 homes, 7 plots | 27 homes, 33 homesites, 4 vacant | Estates for scarcity, Bayfront for choice |
| Side of the island | Gulf side; 2 homes on Gulf-reaching parcels | Bay side, Little Hickory Bay | Gulf exposure against bay and dock |
| Flood zone | AE 11 to 12; 3 of 7 parcels reach VE (our reading of the public map layers) | AE 10 at every address we tested | Bayfront for a simpler zone picture |
| Associations | Property Owners Association plus 1995 covenants | Two associations on one plat | Read both sets of documents in either |
| Leasing | One month (1995) or 90 days, one lease a year (2009); documents differ | Bayside 30 days, three a year; Bayfront Gardens not published | Neither suits short-term rental |
| Qualified sales, last 60 months | 1, at $7,800,000 | 6, from $3,026,000 to $6,650,000 | Bayfront for a deeper record |
| Median just value, 2026 preliminary | $6,257,994 | $3,108,994 | Different price tiers |
| Fees | Not published | Not published | Estoppel in both |
Choose Barefoot Estates for a large house on a very small street with Gulf-side exposure, and expect to buy on documents. Choose Bayfront Gardens for a bay-side home with room to rebuild, since four homesites are vacant, and check each lot’s dock status, a survey and permit question. Our Bayfront Gardens buyer page walks that decision through.
Barefoot Estates has the second-highest median just value of the places below, $6,257,994, and one of the thinnest sales records, one qualified sale in 60 months. Only the beach lanes sit at a similar value, so the other places are a different product at a different price. Each figure carries its own window.
Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser public data files, 2026 preliminary roll, sales through August 24, 2026)

The Cottages are detached homes in condominium form and the Club is a condominium, while the other rows are fee-simple homes or villas under chapter 720. Turnover reads the same way: one sale in 60 months across six homes, against nine across the lanes’ 80. For a wider view, read our Barefoot Beach buyer page.
Barefoot Estates at Barefoot Beach offers scarcity, size and a gated Gulf-side setting, and it asks for patience with unpublished fees, a lease-rule conflict, coastal rules, flood and wind insurance and a thin sales record. Each item below can be answered with a document, and we say which one.
To see Barefoot Estates homes for sale, tell us your timing and budget, and we watch the Southwest Florida MLS for the six homes and send each match with its recorded sales, flood data and documents to request. With one qualified sale in five years, a saved search matters more than browsing.
No Estates home was listed for sale or under contract in the Southwest Florida MLS on October 3, 2026, so there is no list price to quote and months of supply is zero, an indicative figure on 1 closing in 12 months. You can also browse current listings through Domain Realty Group, the team McGreevy and Comisar lead, and send us any Estates address so we pull the county record and documents before you tour.

A seasonal owner at Barefoot Estates leaves a large Gulf-side home empty for months, so plan the storm routine, a caretaker, the insurance and the lease rule before you leave, because Barefoot Beach lies in Evacuation Zone A and the two recorded lease documents set different minimum terms.
Ask the Association about caretaker, shutter and guest-access procedures. Collier County orders evacuation by zone, so a warning can reach an empty home before you can, and sea turtle lighting rules apply from May 1 through October 31.
Confirm wire instructions by phone, never from an email alone. Foreign buyers should plan with a cross-border tax adviser, since a future sale will generally face IRS FIRPTA withholding unless an exemption or certificate applies.

These are the questions Barefoot Estates buyers ask most, answered from the records cited on this page.
Barefoot Estates is an enclave of six single-family homes on seven roll parcels inside the gated Barefoot Beach community in unincorporated Collier County, platted in 1995 as a replat of Lely Barefoot Beach Unit One, Block E. It has no stand-alone association.
Barefoot Estates has a Bonita Springs, Florida 34134 mailing address, but it sits in unincorporated Collier County and belongs to neither city. Collier County issues its permits and runs its flood program.
Seven plots and six homes, because Lots 1 and 2 sit under one house at 110 Saint Eustacius Ln. The roll shows seven parcels: six homesite parcels and the common Tract A at 115 Felipe Ln. No homesite is vacant.
Only part of it. Three of seven roll parcels reach the Gulf, including the common tract, so two of the six homes are Gulf-reaching and four are near-Gulf. That is our reading of the public map layers, so check each survey.
The county roll gives 1997, 1999, 2000, 2000, 2001 and 2008. No Estates home is dated after 2008, which says nothing by itself about repairs or rebuilds.
The county’s 2026 preliminary median just value is $6,257,994, and the latest of six qualified sales since 1997 was $7,800,000 on April 22, 2026. The Southwest Florida MLS, pulled October 3, 2026, shows 2 closings in the 60 months to that date, at $7,800,000 on April 24, 2026 and $16,100,000 on December 12, 2022, and no home listed for sale on October 3, 2026, so there is no current list price to quote. Two sales support no median, and the two sources count differently.
Rarely. The county recorded 6 qualified sales in 29 years and 1 in the last 60 months, so expect a short list. One sale in five years across six homes is a count, not a pattern, and we claim no trend.
No public record we found states them. The 2009 declaration sets a late fee and a $100 fine cap, and a 2010 amendment created a board-set resale assessment with no dollar figure. An estoppel certificate gives the real number.
No. The association named in the 1995 covenants merged into the Barefoot Beach Property Owners Association on March 27, 2000, and the Estates now count as 11 of its 136 shares. The Master Association runs the gate and boulevard above it.
No. Owners hold deeds to parcels under a chapter 720 homeowners association, so the condominium purchaser package, seven-day cancellation clause and condominium inspection rules do not apply, and the chapter 720 disclosure summary does.
The seller must present it before you sign. If it was not provided first, you may cancel within 3 days after receiving it or before closing, whichever comes first. The statute does not require delivery of the governing documents or budget.
With limits, and the documents differ: one month in the 1995 covenants, and one lease a year at 90 days minimum in the 2009 declaration. Get the Association’s written answer before you sign.
Yes. The 1995 covenants allow dogs, cats, caged birds and aquarium fish on a leash, and the 2009 declaration allows reasonable numbers of leashed pets. We found no breed or weight limit, and Barefoot Beach Preserve does not allow dogs.
Yes. Every address we tested is in a Special Flood Hazard Area, zone AE at 11 to 12 feet NAVD88, and three of seven parcels also reach VE at 13 to 16 feet, on panel 12021C0179J. This is our reading of the public map layers, so get an elevation certificate.
No. None of our tested points is inside a unit, and the nearest federal unit we found, FL-65P, covers the preserve south of Shell Drive. The state’s coastal construction control line is separate and does affect the Estates.
We publish no premium, because it depends on the elevation certificate, construction year, foundation and carrier. The National Flood Insurance Program caps building coverage at $250,000, so owners at these values ask about private excess flood coverage.
The statute limits Citizens eligibility for a major structure newly built, or rebuilt or enlarged by more than 25 percent, under a permit applied for after July 1, 2015, seaward of the control line. We do not state whether any home qualifies.
The National Hurricane Center reported inundation of 8 to 12 feet above ground in nearby Bonita Beach, Bonita Springs, Estero and North Naples, and a Geological Survey mark on Barefoot Beach Boulevard read 11.76 feet NAVD88. We found no damage report for any Estates home.
No. They apply to condominium and cooperative buildings of three habitable stories or more, and Barefoot Estates is six detached homes under chapter 720. Ask for the Association’s budget and reserves, a home inspection and the elevation certificate instead.
At 101 Felipe Ln the district’s 2026-27 locator returned Naples Park Elementary, North Naples Middle School and Aubrey Rogers High School. We tested one address, and zones can change, so verify yours.
The Master Association staffs the guardhouse around the clock. The guest and broker procedure for the Estates is not confirmed in any public document, so ask the Association for it in writing before a showing or closing.
We found none attributed to the enclave in any public record. Barefoot Beach Preserve and the county’s Barefoot Beach Access point are the nearest public options, and any community walkway right would come from the recorded documents and title commitment.
No. Barefoot Estates is six single-family homes, Barefoot Beach Club is 348 condominium units, and The Club at Barefoot Beach is a private member club. We found nothing tying an Estates deed to membership in either.
Ordinance 2019-44 addresses three habitable floors for the Estates section, and the county’s staff report describes three floors over parking and 70 feet. Flood, coastal rules and Association approvals also apply, so get a written zoning verification.
The 2026 preliminary bills for the six homes run from $22,124 to $134,325, median $51,835, at 9.4020 mills. A new owner’s bill is based on just value after the assessment resets, so do not assume the seller’s bill.
None as of October 3, 2026: no Barefoot Estates home was listed for sale or under contract in the Southwest Florida MLS on that date. Homes come to market rarely, with 2 MLS closings in the 60 months to October 3, 2026. We can send current Southwest Florida MLS listings when you contact us.
The Southwest Florida MLS, pulled October 3, 2026, shows 2 Barefoot Estates closings in the 60 months to that date: one after 99 days on market, closed April 24, 2026, and one with 1 day on market recorded, closed December 12, 2022. Two sales give no median. The county shows one sale in five years, and the two sources count differently. Either count says the pool is small, not how long a well-priced home waits.
The Estates are six homes with one qualified sale in 60 months. The lanes are 80 homes with nine such sales, and both share the gate and the Property Owners Association. Our Barefoot Estates guide compares them side by side.
Under the 2009 Turnover Agreement the Property Owners Association kept the twelve side lanes, including these two, while the Master Association took the main roadway. Ask who maintains drainage, paving and lighting and how it is funded.
The contract controls. In Collier County the seller customarily pays the deed’s documentary stamps, and the buyer customarily pays the owner’s title policy, chooses the closing agent and pays lender and inspection costs.
We recommend one before any offer. It states the lowest floor against base flood elevation, and insurers use it to rate flood coverage. The county’s index lists eight certificates on the two lanes, unmatched to homes, so ask the seller for the one on file.
Yes. For a Gulf-side home add a wind-mitigation inspection, and a pool, dock or seawall inspection where they exist. Check roof age, window and door ratings, foundation and water intrusion.
Often, because there is no appraisal or underwriting, but cash does not remove the need for an insurance quote, an estoppel certificate or clear title. Expect the seller to ask for proof of funds.
A July 14, 2010 amendment, OR 4586 PG 823, created a board-set Resale Assessment in section 7.10 with no dollar figure. Your estoppel certificate shows whether the board has set one and who pays it.
If the home is your permanent residence on January 1, you can apply after closing under Florida Statute 196.031. The seller’s capped bill does not carry over, because the assessment resets to just value after a sale.
A Barefoot Beach specialist matters on an Estates purchase because the price is the smaller part of the decision: the lease conflict, the estoppel, flood zone and a record of one recent sale decide whether the deal works.
