That matters in Spring Ridge for a specific reason. Fifty-nine estate houses on two streets do not price themselves. The 12 qualified deeds of the last 60 months run from $2,875,000 to $4,500,000, a spread of $1,625,000, among homes that share one gate system, one golf setting and, at almost every lot, one flood zone. The spread follows the house more than the street: the county records heated areas from 3,443 to 11,347 square feet, and the price per heated square foot in the window runs from $456 to $1,008. One house sold twice in the window: 26108 Fawnwood Court recorded $3,250,000 in May 2024 and $3,000,000 in November 2024. Another, 26040 Fawnwood Court, recorded $2,375,000 in December 2012 and $4,450,000 in May 2026. A listing agent who prices a Spring Ridge house from a Bonita Bay average, or from the street’s median alone, can miss by more than a million dollars in either direction.
Recent Spring Ridge track record (last 12 months): In the 12 months to September 30, 2026 the Lee County record holds one qualified Spring Ridge deed: 26040 Fawnwood Court at $4,450,000 on May 22, 2026. The Southwest Florida MLS, pulled September 30, 2026, shows the same closing at $4,450,000 against a $4,750,000 asking price (93.7% of list) after 40 days on market, with no Spring Ridge home active or pending on the pull date. We will walk you through that sale and every deed of the last five years.

Spring Ridge at Bonita Bay, section by section. Each link below jumps to its part of this guide, from the 60-month county deed record and the three plats on Fawnwood Court and Mandevilla Drive to the estate pool homes, the lots and the master association land, the golf, lake and Spring Creek Park edges, the flood zone at every lot, the comparison with Bay Woods, the seller section and the sources behind every figure.
Living in Spring Ridge at Bonita Bay means a detached estate house with its own pool on a lot of half an acre to more than an acre, on one of two streets at the northern edge of Bonita Bay, with a Bonita Bay Club golf parcel along every lot line, Spring Creek Park at the end of Mandevilla Drive and the whole Bonita Bay setting through the master association.
Every Spring Ridge home carries a Fawnwood Court or Mandevilla Drive address. The Bonita Bay Community Association’s own street table lists exactly those two streets under “Spring Ridge” (BBCA Street and Neighborhoods). On the Lee County roll the 61 parcels addressed on the two streets are the 59 Spring Ridge homes, one vacant Spring Ridge lot (26101 Mandevilla Drive, Unit 32 Block B Lot 4) and Spring Creek Park (26001 Mandevilla Drive), a master association parcel. By our straight-line measurement from the center of the neighborhood, the Bonita Bay Club address on Country Club Drive is about 1.0 mile to the southeast, the shops and restaurants of the Promenade at Bonita Bay about 1.2 miles and the master association’s office at 3451 Bonita Bay Boulevard about 1.4 miles.
Two streets, three plats, 59 estate homes. The Lee County roll splits Spring Ridge into three recorded Bonita Bay subdivisions. Fawnwood Court carries two of them: Bonita Bay Unit 35, recorded at Plat Book 58, Page 37, Lots 1 to 17 at street numbers 26040 to 26073, and Bonita Bay Unit 34, recorded at Plat Book 57, Pages 41 and 42, Lots 1 to 26 at 26078 to 26136. Mandevilla Drive is Bonita Bay Unit 32, recorded at Plat Book 56, Pages 31 and 32: Block A, Lots 1 to 7, and Block B, Lots 1 to 11, where one owner’s house spans Lots 5 and 6 (“LOTS 5 + 6” on the roll) and Lot 4 has no house. None of the three plats carries the name Spring Ridge; the name comes from the master association’s street table and the MLS, so a county search by the name finds nothing.
The Property Appraiser codes every Spring Ridge home with the single-family use code, records one living unit per building on the cards that carry the field, and places all 59 in its “Bonita Bay single-family sub” appraisal neighborhoods. The parcel layer carries every lot as planned development (PUD) zoning inside the City of Bonita Springs.
Spring Ridge is not a villa or attached-home neighborhood, not a condominium and not a boating street. Every card records a detached house on its own lot, the smallest of them at 3,443 heated square feet. No Spring Ridge card records a dock, boat lift or seawall, and the lakes beside some lots are stormwater lakes owned within the master plan, not navigable water. The houses differ from one another: the county assigns three improvement types across the 59 cards (41 single-family ranch, 10 colonial and 8 Mediterranean), and the heated areas run from 3,443 to 11,347 square feet. Spring Ridge is also not “Spring Ridge” in Estero: the Lee County roll carries a different subdivision of that name on Spring Ridge Circle, a separate place with no tie to Bonita Bay, and Key Lime Court belongs to another Bonita Bay plat. Neither is counted anywhere on this page.
The lots sold vacant first. On the county sale file, 55 of the 59 home lots carry a qualified vacant-land deed from 1995 to 2000, at $270,000 to $700,000 (median $340,000): Unit 32 lots from 1995 to 1997, Unit 34 lots from 1995 to 1999 and Unit 35 lots from 1996 to 2000. The houses then went up one at a time: four in 1996, ten in 1997, nine in 1998, fifteen in 1999, twelve in 2000, three in 2001, four in 2002 and two in 2003. The roll shows no Spring Ridge house replaced by a newer one: each home’s year built follows the vacant sale of its lot, so the newest house on the two streets is 23 years old.
Measured edge to edge on Lee County’s parcel and hydrography layers, every one of the 59 lots touches a parcel owned by the Bonita Bay Club and recorded as golf course land: 50 lots touch the parcel the county describes as Bonita Bay Golf Course Area 7 and 8, North Central Area, and the 9 Block B homes on the odd-numbered side of Mandevilla Drive touch the Creekside Golf Course parcel. The county’s own land classes agree, recording 54 Spring Ridge lots as “single family residential, golf course” and 5 as “single family residential, lake”. Fifteen lots sit within 16 feet of a lake. At the north end, Spring Creek Park (14.02 acres, owned by the master association) runs along Spring Creek with a kayak and canoe launch dock, a bocce court, a playground, a gazebo, nature trails and an observation deck (BBCA, the parks of Bonita Bay); the nearest home, 26073 Fawnwood Court, is about 90 feet from its boundary. Bonita Bay itself has 12 miles of walking and biking paths connecting its neighborhoods, parks and the Club campuses, inside a gated community of 3,346 residences on about 2,400 acres (BBCA Media Brochure, January 2026).
McGreevy and Comisar, Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, sell and buy in Spring Ridge, a 59-home pair of streets inside Bonita Bay where the finished size, one story or two, the golf or lake view, the age and condition of the roof, the pool and the openings, and the degree of updating since the late 1990s decide most of the price.

Data updated: November 2026. Spring Ridge at Bonita Bay recorded 12 qualified sales in the 60 months since November 2021 at a $3,800,000 median, from $2,875,000 to $4,500,000, in the Lee County Property Appraiser recorded sales, through September 2026. The newest Spring Ridge sale in that index is May 22, 2026 (the index’s newest Lee County sale overall is September 25, 2026), and the MLS figures below are from the Southwest Florida MLS pull of September 30, 2026.
Two sources describe the same market from two angles. The Lee County Property Appraiser’s qualified-sale file records the deed consideration for every arm’s-length sale the Property Appraiser accepts as a market sale, and it is the primary recent-sales source on this page. The Southwest Florida MLS records the reported closing price of homes marketed through the MLS, plus asking prices, days on market and pending sales, which the deed record cannot show. Where the two disagree on a sale, this page publishes the deed figure as the sale price and names the MLS figure once with its date; the county records the deed consideration, while the MLS records the reported closing price. They are never averaged. Twelve sales in five years on a 59-home neighborhood is a small sample, and we say so wherever a figure leans on it.
A 12-month window, since November 2025, holds one qualified Spring Ridge sale; a 24-month window holds five, a 36-month window eight, a 48-month window eleven and the 60-month window twelve. We use the 60-month window, since November 2021, and list every sale in it rather than lean on the median alone. Every sale in the window was a resale; the newest house on the roll was finished in 2003. The county’s summary for all recorded history, 151 qualified deeds back to the first lot sales of 1995, is not a current price and we do not present it as one.
| Recorded | Address | Plat | Built | Lot class (county) | Stories (card) | Heated sq ft | Deed price | Per heated sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| February 10, 2022 | 26100 Mandevilla Dr | Unit 32 | 1997 | Lake | 1.8 | 4,593 | $3,849,000 | $838 |

The twelve deeds total $44,499,000. Twelve is an even count, so the median is the midpoint of the sixth and seventh prices in order: sorted, the prices run $2,875,000, $3,000,000, $3,250,000, $3,400,000, $3,450,000, $3,800,000, $3,800,000, $3,849,000, $3,925,000, $4,200,000, $4,450,000 and $4,500,000, and the midpoint of $3,800,000 and $3,800,000 is $3,800,000. The per-square-foot median works the same way: the sixth and seventh of the twelve sorted values are $696.1 and $717.3, a median of $707 per county heated square foot. One house recorded two deeds (26108 Fawnwood Court), so the twelve deeds cover eleven different homes, about one in five in the neighborhood.
Mandevilla Drive recorded four of the twelve deeds: $3,450,000, $3,800,000, $3,849,000 and $4,200,000, a median of $3,824,500 (the midpoint of $3,800,000 and $3,849,000). Fawnwood Court recorded eight: $2,875,000, $3,000,000, $3,250,000, $3,400,000, $3,800,000, $3,925,000, $4,450,000 and $4,500,000, a median of $3,600,000. By plat, Unit 32 is Mandevilla Drive; the five Unit 34 deeds recorded a median of $3,800,000 and the three Unit 35 deeds a median of $3,400,000. Four, five and three deeds are counts, not price levels for a street, and the difference between the two street medians ($224,500) is smaller than the spread inside either street.
One qualified Spring Ridge deed was recorded in the 12 months to September 30, 2026: 26040 Fawnwood Court at $4,450,000 on May 22, 2026. The county card describes a house built in 1998 of 4,414 heated square feet, recorded as 1.8 stories with a finished lower garage, on a golf-class lot of 0.970 acre on Unit 35, one of the two largest lots on Fawnwood Court. At $1,008 per county heated square foot it is the highest per-square-foot deed of the window. The same house recorded $2,375,000 in December 2012. Neither the deed nor the county card tells us what was inside the house in either year, and we do not guess.
The Southwest Florida MLS, pulled September 30, 2026, counted one Spring Ridge closing in the 12 months to that date: 26040 Fawnwood Court, listed at $4,750,000 and sold for $4,450,000 on May 22, 2026 after 40 days on market, 93.7% of the asking price, with 5,266 MLS living square feet, four bedrooms plus a den and four full baths and one half bath, $845 per MLS living square foot. On the pull date no Spring Ridge home was listed for sale and none was pending. The same pull’s 12-month rental search returned no leased Spring Ridge record. One closing is a count, not a trend, and the listing picture may have changed since the pull date.
On the one recent sale both records hold, they agree on the price ($4,450,000) and the date (May 22, 2026), so the deed-versus-MLS rule has nothing to settle on price. They disagree on size: the county records 4,414 heated square feet and the MLS 5,266 living square feet. This page uses the deed price and the county heated area for every per-square-foot figure in the county tables, and names the MLS figure, Southwest Florida MLS, pulled September 30, 2026, once, here. The county records the deed consideration and its own measured heated area; the MLS records the reported closing price and the listing’s living area. Neither is averaged with the other.
The 26040 Fawnwood Court gap has a visible cause on its county card: the card records the house as 1.8 stories, with a “three quarter story” of 761 square feet above a finished lower garage of 722 square feet, and areas of that kind are valued and counted differently by the appraiser than by a listing. Twenty-one Spring Ridge cards record a finished lower garage and thirteen a three-quarter story, so the same gap can appear on other listings. A buyer comparing price per square foot across Spring Ridge listings should know which number each listing uses, and should ask how any upper or lower-level room is built and permitted.
The twelve deeds span $1,625,000, and the county record explains part of that spread without guessing at the rest. Size: the lowest deed, 26052 Fawnwood Court at $2,875,000, is one of the larger houses on the roll (6,307 heated square feet, two stories, built 1999), $456 per square foot; the highest per square foot, 26040 at $1,008, is one of the smaller. Size alone does not set the price here. Stories: the three one-story deeds recorded a median of $3,250,000, the five 1.8-story deeds $3,849,000 and the four two-story deeds $3,662,500. Lot: the two lake-class deeds recorded $3,849,000 and $4,500,000; the ten golf-class deeds a median of $3,625,000, too few to price a view on its own. The deed record does not say what was inside any house; renovation, finishes and condition are the likely remaining variables, and with every house built from 1996 to 2003 they matter more here than in a newer neighborhood, but only the listing, the disclosures and a showing establish them for a specific sale. The county’s 2025 just values, which cover all 59 homes rather than the few that sold, run from $1,919,261 to $4,325,369, a median of $2,518,668: Unit 32 (Mandevilla Drive) at a median of $3,072,533, Unit 35 at $2,518,578 and Unit 34 at $2,414,725.
One Spring Ridge house recorded two qualified deeds inside the window. 26108 Fawnwood Court, a one-story house of 4,483 heated square feet built in 2000, recorded $3,250,000 on May 14, 2024 and $3,000,000 on November 26, 2024, $250,000 or 7.7% less six months later. The deed record does not say why, and we report the two deeds as recorded rather than explain them. Longer pairs show the direction of the decade: 26040 Fawnwood Court went from $2,375,000 in December 2012 to $4,450,000 in May 2026; 26080 Mandevilla Drive from $2,300,000 in February 2010 and $2,625,000 in October 2014 to $3,800,000 in May 2024; 26100 Mandevilla Drive from $2,730,000 in February 2006 and $2,600,000 in March 2019 to $3,849,000 in February 2022; 26121 Mandevilla Drive from $2,250,000 in December 2013 to $4,200,000 in February 2025; and 26052 Fawnwood Court from $1,950,000 in March 2007 and $2,050,000 in July 2010 to $2,875,000 in April 2025. The deeds do not say whether any house was improved between sales, so we read them as data points, not as a rate for the neighborhood.
The county record shows how far Spring Ridge prices moved before this window. The home lots sold vacant from 1995 to 2000 for $270,000 to $700,000, and the first qualified house sales on the file in 1996 and 1997 recorded $1,470,000 (26041 Mandevilla Drive, April 1996), $1,474,000 (26131 Mandevilla Drive, November 1996) and $1,800,000 (26095 Fawnwood Court, April 1997). In 2001, 26041 Fawnwood Court recorded $3,100,000 and 26130 Mandevilla Drive $3,250,000. The 13 qualified house deeds of 2004 to 2008 ran from $1,850,000 to $3,350,000, a median of $2,325,000, and the 17 of 2009 to 2014 from $1,500,000 to $3,750,000, a median of $2,250,000. Year by year the medians of the qualified house deeds read $2,550,000 in 2016 (3 deeds), $2,600,000 in 2019 (3), $2,700,000 in 2021 (3), $3,800,000 in 2023 (3), $3,525,000 in 2024 (4) and $3,400,000 in 2025 (3), single handfuls of sales that show a level, not a precise rate. The deed record does not say why a price moved, and we do not guess.
The table below runs the same county measure for Bonita Bay single-family neighborhoods: qualified improved deeds recorded in the 60 months since November 2021, from the same Lee County index (built November 1, 2026), with each neighborhood matched by the streets the master association’s street table assigns to it. Each neighborhood’s own guide may quote a different window; this table keeps one window for all of them.
| Neighborhood | Homes | Built | Heated sq ft | Deeds (60 months) | Median | Range | Median per heated sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bay Woods (Woodlyn Drive) | 48 | 1999 to 2019 | 3,693 to 13,815 | 14 | $3,875,000 | $2,900,000 to $5,900,000 | $804 |
| Spring Ridge (Fawnwood Court, Mandevilla Drive) | 59 | 1996 to 2003 | 3,443 to 11,347 | 12 | $3,800,000 | $2,875,000 to $4,500,000 | $707 |
| Rookery Lake (Rookery Lake Drive, Arrowwood and Pineshadow Courts) | 45 | 1998 to 2004 | 3,713 to 8,951 | 11 | $3,600,000 | $3,000,000 to $4,750,000 | $628 |
| Creekside (Creekview Drive and four courts) | 103 | 1991 to 2002 | 2,947 to 6,498 | 24 | $2,342,500 | $1,650,000 to $3,605,000 | $595 |
| Woodlake (Woodlake Drive, Lakepointe Way, Royalfern Court) | 108 | 1985 to 2025 | 2,179 to 5,453 | 25 | $1,765,000 | $1,212,500 to $5,945,000 | $566 |
| Anchorage (Riverbank Drive) | 37 | 1991 to 1999 | 2,268 to 4,644 | 14 | $1,300,000 | $885,000 to $2,250,000 | $518 |
Spring Ridge sits at the top of Bonita Bay’s single-family ladder with two other neighborhoods of similar size and lot scale: Bay Woods, whose 60-month median is $75,000 above Spring Ridge’s, and Rookery Lake, $200,000 below. Creekside, which shares the Creekside golf course along the Mandevilla Drive lots, sits $1,457,500 lower on the median, and Woodlake and Anchorage lower still. Spring Ridge’s median per square foot, $707, is second in the table, $97 below Bay Woods, where five deeds on houses built from 2015 to 2018 lift the figure.
For a buyer, the record says Spring Ridge trades a few times a year at most (12 deeds in 60 months on 59 homes, one in the last 12) and that nothing was listed for sale on September 30, 2026, so the choice at any moment is narrow and a buyer should be ready when the right house comes up. For a seller, the same record says the neighborhood supports prices from under $3,000,000 to $4,500,000 for houses of the same era, and that the per-square-foot figure has run from $456 to $1,008: 26040 recorded $4,450,000 on 4,414 county square feet in May 2026, while 26052 recorded $2,875,000 on 6,307 in April 2025. With so few sales, the closest matching deeds, the county’s values for all 59 homes and the condition and updating of the house carry more weight than any neighborhood median.
Spring Ridge grew out of the Bonita Bay master plan in the mid-1990s on three numbered plats: Bonita Bay Unit 32 (Mandevilla Drive), Unit 34 and Unit 35 (Fawnwood Court). The lots sold vacant from 1995 to 2000, one buyer at a time, and the houses were built individually from 1996 to 2003, beside the Bonita Bay Club’s golf land and Spring Creek on Bonita Bay’s northern edge.
The Bonita Bay Community Association was established in 1985, and the community now covers about 2,400 acres with 3,346 residences across condominiums, high-rises, coach homes and single-family neighborhoods (BBCA Media Brochure, January 2026). The developer’s successor describes Bonita Bay as opened in 1985, with 2,400 acres, 3,300 permitted units, more than 1,400 acres of open space including 230 acres of lakes, and more than 12 miles of paths; it records that the Club was sold to its members in 2010 and the master association turned over to the residents in 2011 (Phoenix Bay Ventures, Bonita Bay). The original Declaration of General Protective Covenants and Restrictions for Bonita Bay was recorded on April 3, 1985 at Official Records Book 1778, Page 3516, and the current master Declaration was recorded on June 22, 2011 as Lee County Instrument 2011000142834. The master association frames the community between Spring Creek to the north, the Imperial River to the south and Estero Bay to the west (BBCA, vision); Spring Ridge sits on that northern edge, with Spring Creek Park at the end of Mandevilla Drive. The City of Bonita Springs, which incorporated in 1999, now governs the land (City of Bonita Springs, history).
The county sale file shows the Spring Ridge lots selling vacant, one buyer at a time. The Unit 32 lots on Mandevilla Drive sold from May 1995 to June 1997 for $325,000 to $700,000 (the top figure is the joined Lots 5 and 6 at 26091), the Unit 34 lots on the northern part of Fawnwood Court from December 1995 to March 1999 for $270,000 to $460,000, and the Unit 35 lots at the head of Fawnwood Court from September 1996 to June 2000 for $270,000 to $475,000. One Unit 32 lot, 26101 Mandevilla Drive (Block B, Lot 4), still has no house on the 2026 roll; the county records its 2012 deed under the same instrument as its neighbor at 26091.
The roll dates the houses four in 1996, ten in 1997, nine in 1998, fifteen in 1999, twelve in 2000, three in 2001, four in 2002 and two in 2003. Mandevilla Drive filled first (its houses date from 1996 to 2000), Unit 34 next (1997 to 2003) and Unit 35 last (1998 to 2003). Every card records a stem-wall foundation and a concrete tile roof, but the improvement types (ranch, colonial, Mediterranean), the story counts, the wall finishes (stucco on 57, brick on 5, three of them both) and the sizes differ from house to house, which is what a neighborhood of individually built houses looks like on the county record. We do not name builders, because no primary record we read identifies them.
Spring Ridge owners belong to the Bonita Bay Community Association, a Florida not-for-profit corporation (document N07041, filed January 10, 1985) operating as a homeowners’ association under Chapter 720, Florida Statutes. On the Lee County parcel layer, the Spring Ridge common land we found, the Unit 32 road right of way (9.64 acres), the Unit 34 right of way and landscape buffer (2.98 acres) and Spring Creek Park (14.02 acres), is owned by the master association. We found no separate Spring Ridge neighborhood association on a primary record. A state registration for a “Spring Ridge Phase 1, Unit 2” homeowners’ association (document N02000009911) does not match any Spring Ridge plat, which are Bonita Bay Units 32, 34 and 35, and we found no record tying it to Bonita Bay. The state’s corporate search refused our automated check on November 1, 2026, so we cite that record by its document number only; confirm the current record with the Division of Corporations, and confirm in the estoppel certificate and disclosure documents of a sale whether any neighborhood association or neighborhood assessment applies to a specific Spring Ridge home.
Spring Ridge homes are 59 detached single-family houses under concrete tile roofs, every one with a private pool on the county parcel layer, built from 1996 to 2003 on three Bonita Bay plats, with 3,443 to 11,347 heated square feet, a median of 4,928, and four bedrooms on 27 of them and three on 22.
The Lee County roll and the 59 field cards we read on November 1, 2026 record the following.
| Measure | Unit 32, Mandevilla Dr (16 homes) | Unit 34, Fawnwood Ct (26 homes) | Unit 35, Fawnwood Ct (17 homes) | All 59 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Street numbers | 26031 to 26131 | 26078 to 26136 | 26040 to 26073 | 26031 to 26136 |
| Year built | 1996 to 2000 | 1997 to 2003 | 1998 to 2003 | 1996 to 2003 |
| Heated sq ft | 3,443 to 11,347 (median 5,148) | 3,821 to 7,557 (median 4,903) | 3,677 to 7,410 (median 4,661) | 3,443 to 11,347 (median 4,928) |
| Lot size | 0.600 to 1.361 acres (median 0.722) | 0.534 to 1.062 acres (median 0.736) | 0.509 to 0.970 acres (median 0.610) | 0.509 to 1.361 acres (median 0.671) |
| Living stories (card) | 2 on 9, 1.8 on 5, 1 on 2 | 2 on 14, 1 on 10, 1.8 on 2 | 2 on 8, 1 on 7, 1.8 on 2 | 2 on 31, 1 on 19, 1.8 on 9 |
| 2025 just value (median) | $3,072,533 | $2,414,725 | $2,518,578 | $2,518,668 |
Bedrooms on the roll: four on 27 homes, three on 22, five on 7, and six, seven and eight on one each. The largest house, 26091 Mandevilla Drive on the joined Lots 5 and 6 of Unit 32 Block B, records 11,347 heated square feet and eight bedrooms on 1.361 acres, built in 1999; the smallest, 26051 Mandevilla Drive, records 3,443, built in 1997. Without that one large house the range is 3,443 to 8,028 square feet (26070 Mandevilla Drive), and 52 of the 59 houses record between 3,600 and 6,700 square feet.
Every Spring Ridge card records a concrete tile roof over an irregular roof structure, a stem-wall foundation and a brick, tile or similar paver driveway. The walls are concrete block with a stucco finish (“CB STUCCO”) on 54 cards, stucco and common brick on 3 (26041 Fawnwood Court, 26060 Fawnwood Court and 26127 Fawnwood Court) and common brick on 2 (26040 Fawnwood Court and 26041 Mandevilla Drive). The county grades the construction quality “above average” on 41 cards, “excellent” on 9 (26041 Fawnwood Court, 26052, 26057, 26099 and 26135 Fawnwood Court, and 26041, 26061, 26080 and 26131 Mandevilla Drive) and “average” on 9, and the condition “average” on 57, “good” on 1 (26048 Fawnwood Court) and “excellent” on 1 (26080 Mandevilla Drive). The cards assign the improvement type “single-family ranch” to 41 houses, “colonial” to 10 and “Mediterranean” to 8; those are county appraisal classes, not architectural descriptions, and the houses themselves are best judged in person.
On the cards, 31 houses record two living stories, 19 record one and 9 record 1.8 stories, the county’s notation for a house with a partial upper level, often a “three quarter story” (13 cards) above a finished lower garage (21 cards). Fawnwood Court carries most of the one-story houses (17 of the 19); Mandevilla Drive is mostly two-story or 1.8-story (14 of 16). Fifty-three cards record ceilings of 11 to 13 feet, two record 14 to 16 feet and four record 8 to 10 feet. Forty-six record a split floor plan, eleven a traditional plan and two a courtyard plan, and thirteen record a “cathedral” floor area, a volume ceiling over part of the main floor. No card records an elevator.
Every card records a garage, from about 620 to 2,060 square feet of garage area per house (median about 965), and three add a detached garage (26079 Fawnwood Court, 26110 and 26111 Mandevilla Drive). The county parcel layer flags a private pool on all 59 parcels, and the cards’ extra-feature lists record pool heaters on 29 houses, a disappearing-edge pool feature on 5, waterfall pool features on 5 and fountains on 7. Outdoor kitchens appear on 34 cards, lawn irrigation on 56, whole-house generators on 9 and outdoor showers on 9; one card records a home theater room and one a wine room. Covered outdoor rooms are the rule: the cards record finished open porches on almost every house, screened porches on 27, custom pool enclosures on 13 and balconies on 17.
Every Spring Ridge house was built from 1996 to 2003 and is now 23 to 30 years old. That predates the Florida Building Code, which took effect statewide in 2002 (Florida Building Commission), for most of the houses, so the roof (an original tile roof is now 23 to 30 years old), the pool shell and equipment, the air-conditioning systems (44 cards record additional units), the windows and doors, the electrical panel and the plumbing are the first questions. On opening protection, 36 of the 59 cards record something: panel and electric shutters on 9, shutters on part of the house on 8, impact glass and shutters on 6, panel or accordion shutters on 5, impact glass on 4, panel and manual shutters on 3 and wind screens on 1; 23 cards record none. Seventeen cards record pest-control tubes in the walls. A card is a starting point, not an inspection: the wind mitigation report, the permit history and the inspector’s findings settle what a specific house has, including any renovation since it was built.
The Property Appraiser’s 2025 just values for the 59 homes run from $1,919,261 (26065 Fawnwood Court) to $4,325,369 (26070 Mandevilla Drive), a median of $2,518,668 and a total of $159,897,188. Land is valued at $410,824 to $674,287 per lot, and the land line on the card classes 54 lots as golf frontage and 5 as lake frontage. Just value is a mass-appraisal figure set as of January 1, and it trails the deed record here: the 12 deeds of the 60-month window recorded a median of $3,800,000. A buyer’s tax bill follows the new assessed value after the sale, not the seller’s.
Spring Ridge is 59 privately owned home lots of 0.509 to 1.361 acres, 42.23 acres in all, plus one vacant lot, on Fawnwood Court and Mandevilla Drive; the Bonita Bay Community Association owns the road right of way, a landscape buffer and Spring Creek Park beside them on the Lee County parcel layer.
Measured on Lee County’s parcel layer, the Spring Ridge home lots run from 0.509 acre (26068 Fawnwood Court) to 1.361 acres (26091 Mandevilla Drive, the joined Lots 5 and 6), a median of 0.671 acre, about 29,200 square feet. Two lots measure an acre or more: 26091 Mandevilla Drive and 26099 Fawnwood Court (1.062). The Unit 35 lots at the head of Fawnwood Court are the smallest, a median of 0.610 acre; the Unit 34 lots (median 0.736) and the Unit 32 lots on Mandevilla Drive (median 0.722) are larger. The vacant lot, 26101 Mandevilla Drive, measures 0.642 acre.
On the Lee County parcel layer, the master association owns these parcels within or beside Spring Ridge:
| Parcel | Plat or legal | County land use | Acres |
|---|---|---|---|
| Road right of way | Bonita Bay Unit 32 (Mandevilla Drive) | Right of way | 9.644 |
| Right of way and landscape buffer | Bonita Bay Unit 34 (Fawnwood Court) | Right of way | 2.985 |
| Spring Creek Park (26001 Mandevilla Dr) | Parcel in Section 20, “AKA Spring Creek Park” | Parks, privately owned | 14.024 |
That is 26.65 acres in all. The streets themselves are master association land. The golf course parcels that every lot touches belong to the Bonita Bay Club, a separate owner, not to the master association or to the lot owners.
A Spring Ridge owner owns a house and a lot outright, and the land beyond the back lot line is, for every lot, Bonita Bay Club golf land, and for some lots a lake as well. The plats and the master Declaration set what an owner may do at the lot line: fences, landscaping, pool enclosures, anything that touches a lake bank and any exterior change go through master association Design Review under §9.2 of the master Declaration, and the golf course edge carries the usual exposure of a golf lot (stray balls, maintenance hours, cart traffic). Read the recorded plat for the lot you are buying, and ask the title agent for a survey that shows the lot lines against the golf and lake parcels.
On Lee County’s parcel and hydrography layers, all 59 Spring Ridge lots touch a Bonita Bay Club golf course parcel, 15 sit within 16 feet of a lake, and none touches tidal water; Spring Creek Park, the master association’s park on Spring Creek, sits at the north end of Mandevilla Drive about 90 feet from the nearest home. No county record shows a dock or seawall on any Spring Ridge lot.
On November 1, 2026 we measured the shortest edge-to-edge distance from every Spring Ridge lot outline on Lee County’s parcel layer to the golf course parcels on the same layer, to the county’s mapped water bodies (HydroPoly) and to Spring Creek Park. A lot “touches” when its outline meets or comes within 5 meters (about 16 feet) of the other parcel or polygon. These are measurements on county map layers, not surveys, and the plat and a survey control any boundary question.
Every one of the 59 lots touches a golf course parcel owned by the Bonita Bay Club. Fifty touch the parcel the county’s legal description calls “Bonita Bay Golf Course Area 7 + 8, North Central Area”, which wraps both sides of Fawnwood Court and the even-numbered side of Mandevilla Drive. Nine, the Block B homes on the odd-numbered side of Mandevilla Drive (26031 to 26131), touch the parcel the county names the Creekside Golf Course. The county’s land classification agrees closely, classing 54 lots as golf frontage and 5 as lake frontage (26079, 26083 and 26087 Fawnwood Court and 26100 and 26131 Mandevilla Drive), because the appraiser classes a lot by its view and value rather than by a shared boundary; the five lake-class lots also touch golf land. A shared boundary with a golf parcel does not by itself mean a fairway view: some golf parcels include buffers and lakes, so a buyer who wants a particular view should walk the lot.
Fifteen lots sit within 16 feet of a lake on the county’s hydrography layer. Eight share one lake of about 5.3 acres: 26079, 26083, 26087, 26091, 26095 and 26099 Fawnwood Court and 26070 and 26100 Mandevilla Drive. The other seven are on Mandevilla Drive beside three smaller lakes of about 1.4 to 2.9 acres: 26031, 26041, 26051, 26061, 26121, 26130 and 26131. A lake of about 6.0 acres lies behind the Unit 34 lots at the north end of Fawnwood Court, about 26 to 61 feet from 26135, 26131 and 26136. The lakes are part of Bonita Bay’s stormwater system, not navigable water.
Spring Creek forms Bonita Bay’s northern border, and the master association describes it as “one of the area’s most pristine waterways cascading along the northern border of the community.” Spring Creek Park, 14.02 acres at 26001 Mandevilla Drive on the county roll, owned by the master association, has kayak and canoe storage racks and a launch dock, a bocce court, a basketball hoop, a playground and picnic area, a pet water station, nature trails, a gazebo and an observation deck (BBCA, the parks of Bonita Bay). No Spring Ridge lot touches the park; the nearest homes, 26073 and 26069 Fawnwood Court, are about 90 and 120 feet from its boundary. On the hydrography layer the nearest tidal water, a natural tidal wetland of about 655 acres, lies about 78 feet from 26045 Fawnwood Court and farther from every other lot. The park is a master association amenity open to every Bonita Bay resident, not a private Spring Ridge facility.
No Spring Ridge parcel records a boat dock or a seawall on the county parcel layer, and no field card records one. The kayak launch at Spring Creek Park is shared community equipment. Owners who keep a boat use the separately owned Bonita Bay Marina or a slip elsewhere.
The Bonita Bay Marina is a semi-private, full-service marina on the Imperial River with direct access to Estero Bay and the Gulf, “created and owned by a group of resident investors” and operated separately from both the master association and the Club. The master association lists 326 dry storage spaces for boats up to 36 feet and 98 wet slips for vessels up to 16,000 pounds, with a ship’s store, boat launch, bait, fuel and on-site repair; additional fees apply (BBCA, marina and Backwater Jacks). The January 2026 brochure confirms that the Marina and the Club “operate as separately owned and managed member-exclusive entities.” Spotlight News reported that 39 resident investors bought the marina and restaurant in July 2013 (Spotlight News).
The specification that matters most is draft: the marina publishes a maximum draft of 36 inches, set by its permitting agreement (Bonita Bay Marina, about the marina). Check your boat’s draft and length against the marina’s rules before you buy around a boat. Backwater Jacks, the waterfront restaurant at the marina, is open for dining to all residents (Backwater Jacks; Bonita Bay Marina). Slip and storage availability and fees are set by the marina, not by the master association, and a slip or rack space is never part of a Spring Ridge home.
A Spring Ridge home comes with its own private pool and Bonita Bay’s paths, three waterside parks (one of them, Spring Creek Park, at the end of Mandevilla Drive), gated entry, Community Patrol and Private Beach through the master association; the Bonita Bay Club’s golf, racquet sports, fitness and dining come only if you join, and marina slips and storage only if you rent them.
Spring Ridge has no neighborhood clubhouse or shared pool on the county record; every one of the 59 parcels carries its own pool on the county parcel layer, and the amenities of the two streets are the lots themselves, the golf and lake views and the park at the end of Mandevilla Drive. The pools, lanais, outdoor kitchens and screened enclosures recorded on the cards are each owner’s to maintain and insure.
Every Spring Ridge owner is automatically a member of the Bonita Bay Community Association, which maintains “grounds, roads, streetlights, lake and storm water management, plus all of our recreational parks including the Private Beach,” runs the Community Patrol and staffs the Design Review Department (BBCA, Community Association). Homeowners “gain membership and access to all Association amenities” (BBCA, realtor and buyer resources). None of this requires a Club membership, even though every Spring Ridge lot backs onto Club golf land.
Bonita Bay is gated, and the master association’s Community Patrol works inside the gates (BBCA, Community Association). We found no record of a separate Spring Ridge gate. Visitor and vendor access runs through the master association’s procedures, delivered with the documents at purchase. Law enforcement is the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.
Bonita Bay has “three onsite parks and a Private Beach located only a short drive from the front gates” (BBCA, the parks of Bonita Bay). Spring Creek Park, at the north end of Mandevilla Drive, is the one Spring Ridge owners can walk to. Estero Bay Park, in the northwestern corner, has an 800-foot boardwalk through coastal mangroves to a private pier on Estero Bay, a butterfly garden, nature trails and shell mounds the association dates to 5,000 years ago. Riverwalk Park, on the Imperial River at the southern edge, has a boat ramp, kayak launch, bocce and pickleball. The master association’s maps show where they are (BBCA property maps; facilities and amenities map).
Bonita Bay’s Private Beach is a Gulf-front facility owned by the master association on Hickory Boulevard, outside the main gates. It “sustained total destruction during Hurricane Ian,” was rebuilt in concrete with breakaway walls and reopened on November 13 (BBCA, Private Beach). It is an amenity of every Spring Ridge owner through the master association, with a resident shuttle; the master association’s facilities map shows the shuttle stops.
The 12 miles of paths (trails map) connect Fawnwood Court and Mandevilla Drive to the parks and the Club campuses. The master association lists its grounds and environmental awards, including its Audubon certification, in its 2026 awards summary (BBCA Awards and Recognitions 2026), and its lifestyle page describes community programming (BBCA, style of living).
The Bonita Bay Club is an optional, separately owned, member-owned private club inside Bonita Bay, with five championship golf courses on two campuses, a sports center, a Lifestyle Center and dining. Buying a Spring Ridge home does not make you a Club member and does not require you to join; membership is a separate decision with its own fees.
“Bonita Bay Club is a separate entity within the community of Bonita Bay,” the Club says (Bonita Bay Club, our community). The master association describes the Club as operating independently, with five courses (three designed by Arthur Hills and two by Tom Fazio), 16 Har-Tru tennis courts and 15 pickleball courts (BBCA, Bonita Bay Club). The two Fazio courses, Cypress and Sabal, are on the Club’s Naples campus (Bonita Bay Club, golf); the Sports Center, Lifestyle Center and dining pages describe the rest. By our straight-line measurement the Club address at 26660 Country Club Drive is about 1.0 mile from the center of Spring Ridge. On the county map every Spring Ridge lot touches Club golf land: 50 lots touch the parcel the county calls the North Central Area and 9 the Creekside course parcel. A lot on a fairway does not make its owner a Club member.
Members bought the Club from the developer in 2010 for $11.5 million, $7.5 million of it real estate, as the Business Observer reported (Business Observer, April 2, 2010). A Club release says members approved a $110 million clubhouse project in May 2026 and that about $250 million has been reinvested since members acquired the Club (Hunter PR release).
Bonita Bay Club membership is optional and separate from home ownership. The Club does not publish initiation fees or dues on its public website; the Club’s membership office provides the current schedule. A Spring Ridge owner can skip the Club entirely and use the private pool at home and the master association’s paths, parks and Private Beach, or join for golf or racquet sports; owning a golf-frontage lot gives no right to play the course. Either way, the Club is a cost only if you choose it, and a membership does not transfer with a Spring Ridge deed unless the Club’s own rules say so.
Spring Ridge owners pay the Bonita Bay Community Association master assessment, plus their own property taxes, insurance and the upkeep of a house, a pool and a lot of half an acre or more. The master association does not publish its assessment on a public page, we found no separate Spring Ridge association on a primary record, and Bonita Bay has no CDD, so the real numbers come from the estoppel certificate in the sale.
Bonita Bay Community Association does not publish its master assessment or resale charges on its public website. Every owner pays the master assessment plus any neighborhood or condominium association assessment that applies to the home. Current figures, including any charge due at closing, appear in the estoppel certificate and the §720.401 disclosure summary provided in the sale (Section 720.401, Florida Statutes), and Florida law requires an association to issue an estoppel certificate on request within a set time and fee schedule (Section 720.30851, Florida Statutes).
The Bonita Bay Community Association (Florida not-for-profit corporation, document N07041, active, filed January 10, 1985) operates as a homeowners’ association under Chapter 720, Florida Statutes. Its assessment funds the common areas and roads, streetlights, lake and stormwater management, the three parks, the Private Beach, the Community Patrol, the Design Review Department and community programming. In Spring Ridge that includes the streets themselves: on the county parcel layer the master association owns the Unit 32 road right of way under Mandevilla Drive, the Unit 34 right of way and landscape buffer on Fawnwood Court and Spring Creek Park (26.65 acres together). The dollar amount is not published.
We found no separate Spring Ridge association on the Lee County parcel layer (no common parcel is owned by one) or tied to Bonita Bay on the state’s corporate register (the “Spring Ridge Phase 1, Unit 2” registration, document N02000009911, matches no Spring Ridge plat). That points to a neighborhood governed directly by the master association, but the public record cannot rule out a neighborhood budget or a voluntary group. The estoppel certificate for the specific home, and the disclosure documents delivered with it, state every association that levies an assessment on that lot. Owners may inspect an association’s budget and official records under Section 720.303 (Section 720.303, Florida Statutes).
Club membership is optional and separate from home ownership, and the Club does not publish its initiation fees or dues. It is a cost only if you choose to join, including on a lot that touches a Club fairway.
Bonita Bay has no Community Development District and no special taxing district. Lee County’s published list of special districts names nearby CDDs, including Bay Creek, Bayside Improvement, the two Brooks of Bonita Springs districts, Bonita Landing and Saltleaf, but no district for Bonita Bay. The Bonita Springs Fire Control and Rescue District on that list is an independent fire district covering the area, not a Bonita Bay district, and it appears on every Bonita Springs tax bill; the Spring Ridge parcels carry the tax district “City of Bonita Springs / Bonita Springs Fire” on the county parcel layer.
Property taxes are set by the City of Bonita Springs, Lee County, the School District and the other taxing authorities on the Lee County bill; the parcel’s TRIM notice and tax bill from the Lee County Tax Collector itemize every line for a specific home. A buyer’s bill depends on the buyer’s exemptions and the new assessed value after the sale, not the seller’s bill: the 2025 just values of the 59 homes run from $1,919,261 to $4,325,369, while the 12 deeds of the last 60 months recorded a $3,800,000 median, so a new owner’s assessed value can sit well above the seller’s. Insurance on a Spring Ridge house, its pool and its contents is the owner’s to carry, with flood a separate policy. Every owner pays electricity to Florida Power and Light and water and sewer to Bonita Springs Utilities (Bonita Springs Utilities).
The recorded 2011 master Declaration contains a buyer-paid resale reserve assessment, and a later master association written statement describes a different formula; no recorded amendment reconciling the two has been located. We therefore do not publish either figure as the current charge. The master association’s estoppel certificate states what is due at a Spring Ridge closing (Section 720.30851, Florida Statutes).
Budget the master assessment from its estoppel certificate, a homeowner’s and windstorm quote and a flood quote for the specific address, the property tax on your new assessed value, utilities, and the upkeep of a large house, a pool and a lot of half an acre or more: lawn and landscape, irrigation, pool service, screen enclosures and the roof. On a house built from 1996 to 2003, the roof, the openings, the air-conditioning and the pool shell and equipment drive the cost of ownership, and 23 of the 59 cards record no opening protection at all. The state’s insurance consumer offices explain the policy types (Florida Office of Insurance Regulation; Florida Department of Financial Services, consumer services).
Special assessments at Spring Ridge come from the Bonita Bay Community Association, whose board approved a $500 per unit beach-rebuild assessment on March 20, 2025, due June 30, 2025, and from any other association the estoppel certificate names for the home.
A recap of the master association’s March 20, 2025 special board meeting, posted on March 26, 2025 by the Wild Pines of Bonita Bay association, reports that the board approved a special assessment of $500 per unit for the rebuild of the Private Beach facility, with payment due by June 30, 2025 (Wild Pines of Bonita Bay, recap of the March 20, 2025 meetings). That assessment is past; a Spring Ridge buyer’s title agent confirms on the master estoppel that nothing remains owed on the home being purchased.
Because the master association owns Mandevilla Drive, Fawnwood Court, the Unit 34 landscape buffer and Spring Creek Park, the cost of resurfacing the streets, maintaining the buffer or rebuilding the park’s launch dock falls within the master association’s budget and reserves rather than a neighborhood fund, as far as the public record shows. Whether the master association has approved or is considering any assessment is a question for its estoppel certificate, its budget and its board records, which owners can inspect under Section 720.303. We do not state what those records contain. Florida law requires the estoppel certificate to list assessments due and any pending special assessment.
Spring Ridge is governed by its three recorded plats (Bonita Bay Unit 32 at Plat Book 56, Pages 31 and 32, Unit 34 at Plat Book 57, Pages 41 and 42, and Unit 35 at Plat Book 58, Page 37) and by the Bonita Bay master Declaration, recorded June 22, 2011 as Lee County Instrument 2011000142834, with the master association’s By-Laws, Rules and Regulations and Design Guidelines.
The Lee County Clerk’s search portals block automated access, so a buyer or title agent retrieves these by book and page or instrument number at the Clerk. Any neighborhood restrictions recorded against any of the three plats would appear in the title commitment for the specific lot.
Every Spring Ridge home is a single-family parcel inside the Bonita Bay master association, so the homeowners’ association statute applies. Section 720.401 requires the seller to give a prospective buyer a disclosure summary before the contract is signed, stating that the buyer must join the association, that assessments are owed and may change, and that restrictive covenants govern the property; a contract signed without it is voidable by the buyer before closing (Section 720.401, Florida Statutes). The master Declaration (§12.13) repeats that duty for every Bonita Bay transfer. Section 720.303 governs an association’s official records and an owner’s right to inspect them (Section 720.303, Florida Statutes), and Section 720.3085 makes a buyer jointly liable with the seller for assessments unpaid at the transfer, which is why the estoppel certificate matters (Section 720.3085, Florida Statutes). Florida’s real estate contract forms also carry the state-required flood disclosure for residential sales (Section 689.302, Florida Statutes).
On two streets of individually built houses now 23 to 30 years old, the exterior changes owners make most often, a new roof, a pool enclosure, an outdoor kitchen, a generator, impact windows, landscaping toward a lake or the golf course, or an addition, all go to master association Design Review under §9.2 before they go to the City for a permit. A complete teardown and rebuild would go through the same two stages, and the City’s floodplain rules would apply to the new house (see the flood section). Begin the approvals before you order materials; Design Review standards may be stricter than the building code.
Spring Ridge at Bonita Bay is not described as a 55-and-over community in any source we reviewed: the master Declaration provisions summarized on this page, the Lee County roll, the three recorded plats and the master association’s public pages set no age restriction, so buyers of any age can purchase a Spring Ridge home.
If an age restriction ever mattered to a purchase or sale, it would have to appear in the recorded documents and meet the federal housing-for-older-persons rules, so confirm it in the documents delivered with the sale rather than relying on marketing. Federal fair housing law protects every buyer regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status or disability (HUD, fair housing).
A Spring Ridge owner can lease the home subject to the Bonita Bay master Declaration, which sets no minimum lease term but binds every tenant to the governing documents, and to any neighborhood restriction recorded against the lot. The Southwest Florida MLS pull of September 30, 2026 showed no leased Spring Ridge record in the prior 12 months.
Data updated: November 2026. The Southwest Florida MLS, pulled September 30, 2026, returned no Spring Ridge row in its 12-month rental pull: no lease closed through the MLS and no rental listing was active on the pull date. That is not proof that no Spring Ridge home is leased, because a lease arranged privately never reaches the MLS, but it does mean there is no recent MLS rent figure for the neighborhood. A buyer modeling rental income should test any assumption against comparable Bonita Bay single-family leases and the documents.
The master Declaration’s leasing language provides that any lease “shall provide or be deemed to provide that the tenant and all occupants of the leased Unit are bound by” the governing documents; it sets no minimum lease term, no cap on leases and no lease approval, and where a neighborhood’s documents are more restrictive, the more restrictive controls. Read the title commitment and the disclosure package for anything recorded against the specific lot before you plan a rental.
No public Bonita Bay document we reviewed authorizes nightly or weekly rentals, and the master association’s rules bind tenants like owners. At Spring Ridge prices, with no recent MLS lease on the street, the realistic case is an owner who uses the home part of the year and may lease it for a season, offsetting carrying costs rather than producing a year-round yield.
Pet rules at Spring Ridge come from the master association’s Rules and Regulations and any neighborhood restriction recorded against the lot, not from the recorded Bonita Bay master Declaration, which contains no pet provision. We found no published Spring Ridge pet rule, so the number, size and type of pets must be read in the documents before you buy.
Leash, waste and nuisance rules apply in Bonita Bay’s common areas, parks and paths. With 15 Spring Ridge lots within 16 feet of a lake, every lot backing onto golf land and Spring Creek at the end of Mandevilla Drive, keep dogs away from the water’s edge, where alligators live, and off the golf course. Under federal fair housing law, properly documented assistance animals are protected regardless of any pet rule (HUD, fair housing). Request the current rules early in your inspection period if you have a pet.
Spring Ridge at Bonita Bay sits mostly in FEMA Zone AE with a base flood elevation of 10 feet (NAVD88): 49 of its 59 home lot centers measure AE 10, 2 measure AE 11 and 8 measure in shaded Zone X, on FIRM panel 12071C0652G, effective November 17, 2022, inside the City of Bonita Springs (NFIP community 120680) and Lee County Evacuation Zone A. The City’s CRS Class 5 rating gives NFIP policies a 25% discount.
On November 1, 2026 we took the center point of every Spring Ridge lot, and the full outline of every lot, from Lee County’s parcel layer and intersected them with FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer (FEMA NFHL), and ran five of them, three on Fawnwood Court and two on Mandevilla Drive, against FEMA’s panel index and Lee County’s evacuation zone layer (Lee County Evacuation Zones). We used the US Census geocoder (Census geocoder) to locate the offices and places whose distances this page gives.
| Address | Position | Flood zone at the lot center | Base flood elevation | FIRM panel | Evacuation zone |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 26040 Fawnwood Ct | Head of Fawnwood Court, Unit 35, golf class | AE, coastal floodplain | 11 ft | 12071C0652G | A |
| 26079 Fawnwood Ct | Unit 34, lake class, beside the 5.3-acre lake | AE, coastal floodplain | 10 ft | 12071C0652G | A |
| 26135 Fawnwood Ct | North end of Fawnwood Court, Unit 34 | AE, coastal floodplain | 10 ft | 12071C0652G | A |
| 26031 Mandevilla Dr | Unit 32 Block B, Creekside course side | AE, coastal floodplain | 10 ft | 12071C0652G | A |
| 26130 Mandevilla Dr | Unit 32 Block A, south end of Mandevilla Drive | AE, coastal floodplain | 10 ft | 12071C0652G | A |
Across all 59 home lots, the center point falls in Zone AE with a 10-foot base flood elevation on 49, in Zone AE at 11 feet on 2 (26040 and 26041 Fawnwood Court) and in Zone X, the shaded 0.2% annual chance coastal flood area with no base flood elevation, on 8 (26095, 26099, 26103 and 26107 Fawnwood Court and 26091, 26100, 26110 and 26120 Mandevilla Drive). Every lot outline touches the AE 10-foot area; the outlines of those 8 lots and of 26111 Fawnwood Court and 26130 Mandevilla Drive also reach Zone X, and the outlines of 26040, 26041, 26131 and 26135 Fawnwood Court also reach AE 11. Where a single lot sits in two zones, the zone under the house itself decides the rating. An adjoining Collier County panel, 12021C0180H, also touches these points on FEMA’s index; the Lee County panel governs a Lee parcel. Zone AE is a Special Flood Hazard Area, and flood insurance is federally required for a federally backed mortgage on a structure in it. FEMA rates a building by where the building sits and how high its lowest floor is, so a Spring Ridge home’s rating is settled by its elevation certificate and the lender’s flood determination for the structure. The City’s flood page explains the map colors and the November 17, 2022 effective date (City of Bonita Springs flood protection information), and the NFIP’s consumer site explains the policy itself (FloodSmart).
A base flood elevation is the height FEMA expects the 1% annual chance flood to reach, and what matters for a Spring Ridge home is how its lowest floor compares with 10 feet. The cards record stem-wall foundations on all 59 houses and grade the site elevation of the improvements at “1 to 2 feet” on 44 cards, “3 to 6 feet” on 9 and “under 1 foot” on 6. Those are county appraisal classes, not surveyed elevations, and the number that counts is on the elevation certificate. The City notes that “for each 1 foot above the required Base Flood Elevation your home or business is elevated, you will see a corresponding decrease of nearly 50% in your annual flood insurance premiums,” and that for each foot below, rates double (City flood protection information). Every Spring Ridge house was built from 1996 to 2003, to the flood maps of its day, and the 2022 maps were drawn later; ask for the elevation certificate before you rely on any quote.
For a Spring Ridge home in Zone AE, a renovation or repair whose cost reaches 50% of the structure’s market value counts as a substantial improvement under the City’s floodplain rules, and the whole building must then meet current flood requirements. On a 1996 to 2003 house with a lowest floor near or below 10 feet, a large remodel can trigger that rule, and it decides what a buyer planning a major renovation, or a teardown and rebuild, can do. The City explains how it applies the rule in its toolkit (City substantial improvement toolkit) and its floodplain ordinance (Ordinance 22-05).
Spring Ridge’s panel, 12071C0652G, is one of the November 17, 2022 G panels covering Bonita Bay. FEMA’s own flood layer is the live record; check the address again before closing and after any announced revision. WGCU’s January 2026 explainer describes how and why Lee County’s flood maps are revised (WGCU, January 27, 2026).
The City of Bonita Springs holds a Community Rating System Class 5 rating, a 25% discount on NFIP flood policies, and FEMA confirmed on November 21, 2024 that the City keeps it after the post-Ian review (City of Bonita Springs, FEMA CRS; City news release). WGCU covered the outcomes across Lee County in July and November 2024 (WGCU, July 19, 2024; WGCU, November 21, 2024), and WUSF reported the earlier April 2024 notice that put the discounts at risk (WUSF, April 1, 2024). The City’s floodplain management plan progress report describes the program behind the rating (CRS Floodplain Management Plan, FY 2025-26 progress report).
All five Spring Ridge points we ran fall in Lee County Evacuation Zone A (storm surge zone 1). Zone A is the first area Lee County orders to evacuate, often for any named storm approaching from the Gulf; the state’s Know Your Zone lookup confirms an address (Florida Division of Emergency Management, Know Your Zone; Lee County evacuation zones dataset). The hurricane plan (shutters or impact glass, the pool and its furniture, the generator on the nine houses whose cards record one, and who checks the house after a storm) belongs in place before summer.
Hurricane Ian made landfall on September 28, 2022 (NOAA National Hurricane Center, Hurricane Ian report). In the City, surge came up the Imperial River and flooded homes along the river and creeks (WUSF, October 1, 2022; NPR, October 1, 2022), and the Gulf beaches took the worst of it (Tampa Bay Times, September 29, 2022). Inside Bonita Bay, the documented damage includes the total destruction of the master association’s Private Beach facility, since rebuilt (BBCA, Private Beach), and, per the Club’s October 13, 2022 update, a flooded cart barn and golf course bridges left “structurally undrivable” on the Bay Island and Marsh courses (Bonita Bay Club, Hurricane Ian update). We found no primary source documenting Ian damage to specific Spring Ridge homes; the seller’s disclosures, the City permit history by address and the insurance claim history are where a buyer confirms it. Eleven of the twelve qualified Spring Ridge deeds of the 60-month window were recorded after the storm, from February 2023 to May 2026.
Helene and Milton in 2024 are documented at the City level (City of Bonita Springs, Milton; NHC Helene report; NHC Milton report); no Bonita Bay-specific damage from either was found in a primary source.
Insuring a Spring Ridge home means insuring a large detached house of the late 1990s with a tile roof and a pool: a homeowner’s policy with windstorm, priced from the wind mitigation report, the roof and the replacement cost of a house of 3,443 to 11,347 heated square feet, plus a flood policy priced from the elevation certificate, which a federally backed lender will require for a house that sits in Zone AE, as most Spring Ridge houses do.
Each Spring Ridge home is a single-family house on its own lot, so the owner insures the structure, the pool and screen enclosure, the outdoor kitchen and the contents. At these sizes, replacement cost is the number to get right: an underinsured estate house is the most common gap, and an appraisal-based replacement estimate is worth ordering.
Florida insurers must offer discounts for documented wind-resistant features, and the standard wind mitigation inspection records them: roof covering and its permit date, roof deck attachment, roof-to-wall connection, roof shape and opening protection. Thirty-six of the 59 cards record some opening protection, impact glass on 10 of them (alone or with shutters); 23 record none. On a house built from 1996 to 2003, a documented roof permit and full opening protection are usually the difference between an ordinary and an expensive windstorm quote, and the report has to document each feature. Citizens Property Insurance is the state’s insurer of last resort if the private market will not write a policy, and the state’s My Safe Florida Home program offers inspections and, for eligible homesteaded homes, hardening grants.
Flood is a separate policy, through the NFIP or a private carrier. Fifty-one of the 59 lot centers measure in Zone AE, so a federally backed lender requires it on most Spring Ridge houses; on the eight lots whose centers measure in shaded Zone X the lender’s determination for the structure decides, and an owner has every reason to carry flood cover inside Evacuation Zone A either way. NFIP building coverage has a federal limit that a Spring Ridge house can exceed, so owners often add excess flood coverage from a private carrier. The premium follows the elevation certificate, the foundation and the replacement cost; the City’s CRS Class 5 discount applies to NFIP policies. Get the flood quote during the inspection period, from the elevation certificate rather than an estimate, and ask whether the current policy can be transferred to you.
Insurers commonly ask for a four-point inspection (roof, electrical, plumbing, air conditioning) on homes the age of the Spring Ridge houses. Tile roofs need their underlayment and permit date documented, pool screen enclosures are often limited or excluded from windstorm coverage, and the nine whole-house generators on the cards need their permits. Keep the permit for any roof, window, door or enclosure replacement with the house documents.
Lee County public schools serve Spring Ridge through proximity-based choice: a student ranks schools within the proximity zone for the address rather than being placed at one school by address. Under the district’s most recent published plan, nearby options include Spring Creek Elementary, Bonita Springs Middle and Bonita Springs High. Confirm an address’s zones with the School District of Lee County before relying on them.
Under the district’s most recent published plan (2025-2026), the elementary proximity zone that holds the Bonita Springs schools is Zone Q (Bonita Springs, Pinewoods, San Carlos, Spring Creek and Three Oaks elementary schools), the middle proximity zone is Zone GG (Bonita Springs Middle and Three Oaks Middle), and high school uses the South residential choice zone with sub-zones (2025-2026 Student Enrollment Plan). The School Board approved the 2026-2027 plan on December 1, 2025 (School District of Lee County, school zones); use the district’s school zone locator for a specific Fawnwood Court or Mandevilla Drive address. School sites: Bonita Springs High and Bonita Springs Middle, listed in the district’s middle school directory. WGCU reported the district’s 2024-25 school grades (WGCU, July 9, 2025).
Spring Ridge is not age-restricted, so school access works the same way here as at any Bonita Springs address: the proximity zones above are the starting point, and transportation follows the district’s zone rules.
Building permits for Spring Ridge homes are issued by the City of Bonita Springs Community Development Department, not by Lee County, because Bonita Bay lies inside the incorporated City of Bonita Springs (incorporated in 1999). Exterior work also needs master association Design Review approval under the master Declaration before the City permit is pulled.
Two approvals apply to most Spring Ridge projects: (1) master association Design Review under §9.2 of the master Declaration, for anything that changes the exterior, the pool, the enclosure, the landscaping or the lot toward a lake or the golf course; and (2) a City of Bonita Springs building permit for roofs, windows, doors, pools and enclosures, generators, electrical, plumbing, mechanical and similar work (City of Bonita Springs, apply for a building permit; City Community Development). The City’s online services guide covers its Citizen Access permit portal (how to use online services). Fire-related plan review is part of City permitting (Fire Prevention plan review application). Work that touches a lake bank, Spring Creek or the stormwater system also involves the state and water management district rules (Florida DEP; South Florida Water Management District). A buyer can search a home’s permit history by its address through the City, which is the best way to see when the roof, air conditioning, windows, pool or generator was last permitted. On the county roll no Spring Ridge house has been replaced since it was built, so the permit file of each house runs back to its original construction.
Spring Ridge sits on the northern edge of Bonita Bay: Bonita Bay Club golf land behind every lot, lakes beside fifteen of them, Spring Creek Park and Spring Creek at the north end, the Creekside neighborhood (Creekview Drive and Osprey Nest Court) about half a mile away, Bay Woods about 0.6 mile to the south, and, across Spring Creek on the county map, the separate community of Pelican Landing. Zoning and land use are set by the City of Bonita Springs, and the county roll carries every Spring Ridge lot as planned development (PUD).
The City’s Zoning District Map Book shows zoning districts by map sheet within city limits, and the City’s maps page links its current maps (City area maps). Zoning ordinances and resolutions are indexed on the City site (zoning ordinances; zoning resolutions), and the City’s stormwater program covers the drainage system Bonita Bay’s lakes feed (City stormwater and drainage). Because Bonita Bay is built out and the land beside Spring Ridge is golf course, lake or master association park and buffer, the practical questions for a Spring Ridge buyer are changes on the Club’s courses and campuses (the members’ May 2026 clubhouse vote) the one vacant lot on Mandevilla Drive, and individual remodels on the two streets, not new subdivisions next door.
Daily life at Spring Ridge runs on City of Bonita Springs services: Florida Power and Light for electricity, Bonita Springs Utilities for water and sewer, Waste Management curbside collection in Bonita Springs, and the Bonita Springs Fire Control and Rescue District for fire and emergency response, with the master association handling the gates, the patrol, the two streets, the landscape buffer and Spring Creek Park, and each owner handling the house, the pool and the lot.
Every Spring Ridge card records a garage, about 620 to 2,060 square feet of garage area per house, and three add a detached garage. Whether a boat, trailer or commercial vehicle may be kept outside the garage is a question for the master association’s rules on traffic, parking and vehicle types; read them before you buy around a boat or a trailer. Golf carts on Bonita Bay’s roads and paths follow the master association’s rules. Vehicle registration and driver licensing for a new Florida resident run through the state (Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles).
Bonita Bay is a gated community. Guest and vendor access procedures, resident credentials and contractor rules are set by the master association and delivered with the association documents. Mail delivery on Fawnwood Court and Mandevilla Drive follows the arrangement for the street; confirm it for the specific address when you tour.
Spring Ridge sits in northern Bonita Bay, in ZIP 34134 in the City of Bonita Springs, between Fort Myers to the north and Naples to the south, with US 41 at the Bonita Bay gates and I-75 to the east. That position gives Spring Ridge owners both metro areas’ shopping, dining, healthcare and the region’s airport without living in either city, with the Club about 1.0 mile and the Promenade about 1.2 miles away inside the community.
Drive times depend heavily on season and time of day along US 41, so we do not publish minute figures; test the drives that matter to you during a winter visit. The National Weather Service office for the region posts storm and marine forecasts (NWS Miami; National Hurricane Center).
Spring Ridge is one of Bonita Bay’s three highest-priced single-family neighborhoods, 59 detached pool homes on Fawnwood Court and Mandevilla Drive with a 60-month deed median of $3,800,000: level with Bay Woods, a step above Rookery Lake, and well above the single-family neighborhoods nearby, from Creekside at $2,342,500 to Woodlake and Anchorage.
Bonita Bay’s master association describes residences across condominiums, high-rises, coach homes and single-family neighborhoods. On the 60-month county yardstick in the market section, the single-family neighborhoods line up from Anchorage ($1,300,000 median) and Woodlake ($1,765,000) through Creekside ($2,342,500) to Rookery Lake ($3,600,000), Spring Ridge ($3,800,000) and Bay Woods ($3,875,000). Spring Ridge’s median per heated square foot, $707, is the second highest of the six, behind Bay Woods ($804), whose fifteen houses of 2015 to 2019 lift its figure; among neighborhoods whose houses all date from the 1990s and early 2000s, Spring Ridge records the highest median and the highest median per square foot in the table.
Creekside, about half a mile by straight line between Creekside’s center and Spring Ridge’s, shares the Club’s Creekside golf course with the Block B homes of Mandevilla Drive: 103 detached homes built 1991 to 2002 on Creekview Drive and four courts, with 24 deeds in 60 months at a $2,342,500 median and $595 per square foot. Woodlake, about 0.6 mile away, is 108 homes on Woodlake Drive, Lakepointe Way and Royalfern Court platted in 1985, with 25 deeds at $1,765,000. Bay Woods, about 0.6 mile to the south on Woodlyn Drive, is 48 homes with 14 deeds at $3,875,000, the closest neighborhood to Spring Ridge on price with a full guide on our site. Rookery Lake, the other neighborhood near Spring Ridge on price ($3,600,000 on 11 deeds), does not yet have a full guide on our site. What sets Spring Ridge apart on the county record is the combination: lots of half an acre to 1.36 acres (median 0.671), houses of a median 4,928 heated square feet, a private pool on every parcel, golf land behind every lot, and a master association park on Spring Creek at the end of the street.
Spring Ridge and Bay Woods are Bonita Bay’s two largest estate-home neighborhoods in the top price band, both detached pool homes beside the Club’s golf courses about 0.6 mile apart, and on the same 60-month county yardstick they sit only $75,000 apart on the median deed ($3,800,000 against $3,875,000) and $97 apart per heated square foot ($707 against $804); the choice comes down to the age of the house, the setting and the lot.
Bay Woods is 48 detached single-family homes on Woodlyn Drive, on Bonita Bay Unit 45 (built 1999 to 2006, plus one house in 2016) and the Baywoods Phase Two Replat (built 2015 to 2019), from 3,693 to 13,815 heated square feet (median 4,981). In the 60 months since November 2021 Bay Woods recorded 14 qualified deeds at a $3,875,000 median, from $2,900,000 to $5,900,000, at a median of $804 per heated square foot; Spring Ridge recorded 12 at $3,800,000, $2,875,000 to $4,500,000, $707 per heated square foot. Both medians come from the same Lee County index, built November 1, 2026, with each neighborhood matched by the streets the master association’s street table assigns to it. The difference between them is concentrated in the newest houses: Bay Woods’ five deeds on its 2015 to 2018 houses recorded a $4,900,000 median, while its nine deeds on 1999 to 2002 houses recorded $3,800,000, the same figure as Spring Ridge’s median.

Choose Spring Ridge if you want a golf setting behind every lot (all 59 touch Club golf land), more houses to choose from over time (59 homes), a walk to Spring Creek Park and its kayak launch, more two-story houses of the late 1990s at a median about $75,000 below Bay Woods, and a few lots where the lot center measures outside the AE zone (eight in shaded Zone X). Choose Bay Woods if you want the chance at a house built from 2015 to 2019 (16 houses), lakes and a large tidal wetland behind many lots, more one-story houses (27 of 48), and a street that traded slightly more often over the last five years. In both, the age, condition and updating of the specific house, and its elevation certificate, move the price more than the neighborhood median does.
Spring Ridge’s strengths are documented ones (large lots, large detached houses, a private pool on every parcel, Club golf land behind every lot, Spring Creek Park at the end of the street, master association streets and park, no CDD) and so are its limitations (most lot centers in Zone AE and all in Evacuation Zone A, houses of 1996 to 2003 that need updating, a thin resale market, a high carrying cost and unpublished fees).
If you’re searching for a Spring Ridge listing agent, or thinking, ‘I need someone to sell my Spring Ridge home…’, start with the record: 12 qualified Spring Ridge deeds in 60 months at a $3,800,000 median, from $2,875,000 to $4,500,000, one MLS closing in the 12 months to September 30, 2026 at 93.7% of its asking price, and no home listed for sale on that date. McGreevy and Comisar price, prepare and market Spring Ridge homes from that record, not from a Bonita Bay average.
Our credentials as your Spring Ridge listing agent:
In the 12 months to September 30, 2026 we tracked one qualified Spring Ridge deed in the Lee County record: 26040 Fawnwood Court at $4,450,000 (May 22, 2026). Before it, the window holds 26061 Fawnwood Court at $3,400,000 (April 25, 2025), 26052 Fawnwood Court at $2,875,000 (April 24, 2025), 26121 Mandevilla Drive at $4,200,000 (February 18, 2025) and 26108 Fawnwood Court at $3,000,000 (November 26, 2024). Over 60 months the record shows 12 sales at a $3,800,000 median and $44,499,000 in volume. The Southwest Florida MLS, pulled September 30, 2026, shows the same May 2026 closing and no home listed or pending.
Four things. First, the buyer: a Spring Ridge buyer is comparing houses that are all 23 to 30 years old, so the listing has to document what has been replaced (roof, pool, openings, air conditioning, electrical and plumbing) and when, because the gap between the $456 and the $1,008 per-square-foot deeds of the last five years is largely a story of condition and updating that only the listing can tell. Second, the paperwork: Section 720.401 requires your disclosure summary before the contract is signed, Florida’s residential flood disclosure applies to every sale, most buyers with a mortgage will need flood insurance, and having the estoppel request, the elevation certificate, the wind mitigation report, the permit history and a survey showing the lot against the golf and lake parcels ready at listing protects your timeline. Third, Bonita Bay’s open house and sign rules: open houses need 72 hours’ notice to the master association with the listing agreement, run Monday to Saturday 9 to 5 and Sunday 1 to 4, use the master association’s sign standard, and allow no SOLD signs (BBCA Open House Guidelines). Fourth, the price: the one recent closing sold at 93.7% of its list price after 40 days, so the first price decides how your sale goes.

Price a Spring Ridge home from the deeds that match its size, stories, lot and condition, not from the neighborhood median. On the county record the 60-month median is $3,800,000, but the deeds run from $2,875,000 to $4,500,000 and from $456 to $1,008 per heated square foot. We adjust from the closest matches for size, one story or two, golf or lake frontage and renovation, check the county’s values for all 59 homes, then test the price against Bay Woods and Rookery Lake sales on the day you list.
The one Spring Ridge closing on the Southwest Florida MLS pull of September 30, 2026, 26040 Fawnwood Court, recorded 40 days on market and closed at 93.7% of its asking price. One closing is not a pattern; on a 59-home neighborhood, time to sell depends mostly on the first price and the condition.
A Spring Ridge buyer usually asks first for the master association estoppel certificate, the §720.401 disclosure summary, the elevation certificate, the wind mitigation and four-point reports, the roof, pool, window and air-conditioning permits, a survey, the flood and windstorm policy declarations, and the master association’s rules on leasing, pets, vehicles and Design Review.
The master Declaration requires no sale approval that we found; it requires you to deliver the §720.401 disclosure summary, and the master association’s estoppel certificate is needed for closing. Whether anything recorded against your lot adds a notice step is set in your title documents, which we read for every listing before your home goes on the market.
A Bonita Bay Club membership is separate from your Spring Ridge deed, even though every Spring Ridge lot touches Club golf land. The Club does not publish its initiation fees, dues or transfer rules on its public website, and whether a membership can pass to a buyer is the Club’s decision under its own rules. Your Spring Ridge sale itself never requires a Club membership on either side.
Spring Ridge’s long-run value rests on Bonita Bay’s fixed supply, its master-association amenities and land, the size of its lots and houses and its golf-course setting at the community’s northern edge; the recorded deeds show that Spring Ridge prices rise and fall with the wider market, from vacant lots at $270,000 to $700,000 in 1995 to 2000 to a $3,800,000 median over the last 60 months.
A master association that maintains roads, lakes, parks, the Private Beach and patrol, funded by every owner, protects the setting of every neighborhood inside the gates. In Spring Ridge it owns the streets, the landscape buffer and Spring Creek Park outright. Bonita Bay’s recorded master Declaration and Design Review standards (§9.2) are what keep two streets of individually built houses consistent, lot by lot.
Bonita Bay is built out. Fifty-nine of the sixty Spring Ridge lots are improved, and the sixtieth, 26101 Mandevilla Drive, carries no house on the 2026 roll. That does not guarantee appreciation (the county record shows 26108 Fawnwood Court recording less in 2016 than in 2007, and less in November 2024 than six months earlier), but it means every buyer who wants an estate lot on Bonita Bay golf land competes for one of a fixed number.
For a buyer who wants a house of 3,400 square feet or more on half an acre or more with its own pool inside Bonita Bay’s gates, Spring Ridge is one of three neighborhoods trading near $3,600,000 to $3,900,000 at the 60-month median, alongside Bay Woods and Rookery Lake, and the largest of the three by number of homes. The trade is a flood zone on most lots, a thin resale market, houses of the late 1990s that need updating and the carrying cost of a large house.
Bonita Springs is the incorporated city that governs Spring Ridge’s permits, zoning, flood program and city taxes; its CRS Class 5 rating lowers NFIP premiums, and its location puts Fawnwood Court and Mandevilla Drive between Naples and Fort Myers with Gulf beaches, I-75 and US 41 close by.
Residents voted to incorporate the City in 1999, and the City marked its 25th anniversary in 2024 (City of Bonita Springs, history; 25th anniversary; City Charter). For the wider market, see our Bonita Springs guide and our Bonita Bay guide. Documentary stamp tax on Florida deeds is set by the state (Florida Department of Revenue, documentary stamp tax), and in Lee County the seller customarily pays the owner’s title policy, though the contract controls.
Spring Ridge owners and buyers work directly with Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar, the McGreevy and Comisar team at Domain Realty, whose office at 24031 S Tamiami Trl #101 in Bonita Springs is about 2.0 miles from Spring Ridge by straight line. For this Spring Ridge guide we read the county’s golf, lake and park parcels, the master Declaration, the master association’s street table, all 59 county home cards and every qualified Spring Ridge deed of the last five years in the Lee County record before writing a word.
McGreevy and Comisar are the Domain Realty team behind this Spring Ridge guide: Jesse McGreevy, Sales Associate, and Marc Comisar, Broker Associate, with over 45 years of combined direct real estate experience. You can read how the team was built on our about the McGreevy and Comisar team page. We tracked all 12 qualified Spring Ridge deeds recorded since November 2021 for this update, we read every one of the 59 Spring Ridge home cards to count the stories, walls, roofs, foundations, garages, pools and land classes, we checked the state’s corporate register for a Spring Ridge association, we measured each lot’s distance to the golf courses, the lakes and Spring Creek Park on the county map, and we measured the flood zone at all 59 Spring Ridge lots ourselves rather than repeating a map summary.
McGreevy and Comisar lead Domain Realty Group, a full-service Southwest Florida real estate team. Learn more about our team at DomainRealtyGroup.com.
McGreevy and Comisar are Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, and the full record is below:
Spring Ridge is a pair of streets where specifics decide the price: one story or two, the finished size, whether the lot backs to a fairway or a lake, the age of the tile roof and the pool equipment, the opening protection, and whether the kitchen and baths have been redone in a house built from 1996 to 2003. With twelve qualified deeds in five years and a spread of $1,625,000 between them, a Spring Ridge price cannot lean on last month’s sale, and buyers moving from out of state often decide from photos, video and documents before they visit, so the listing has to explain the lot, the golf and lake parcels, the flood zone under the house and its elevation certificate, the wind mitigation report and the master association’s role in plain language. That is the work we do on every Bonita Bay listing.

The best Spring Ridge buyers we work with ask the most questions before the offer and the fewest after closing. Order the estoppel certificate early, read the master association’s rules and the plat for your lot, get windstorm and flood quotes from the elevation certificate and wind mitigation report during your inspection period, and read the Design Review standards before you plan a remodel, a pool change or a rental. There is no obligation and no cost for an initial conversation.
The questions buyers ask us most about Spring Ridge at Bonita Bay, answered from the county record, the master association’s documents, FEMA’s flood layer and the Southwest Florida MLS pull of September 30, 2026.
Spring Ridge at Bonita Bay is a neighborhood of 59 detached single-family homes on Fawnwood Court and Mandevilla Drive inside the gated master-planned community of Bonita Bay in Bonita Springs, Florida. The homes stand on three recorded plats, Bonita Bay Units 32, 34 and 35, were built from 1996 to 2003, and every lot touches a Bonita Bay Club golf course parcel.
Single-family houses. Every one of the 59 Lee County field cards records a detached house on its own lot, with the single-family use code and one living unit per building, from 3,443 to 11,347 heated square feet. Spring Ridge has no attached villas, duplexes or condominiums on the county record, and the master association’s street table lists only its two streets of houses.
No. The Lee County roll carries a separate subdivision named Spring Ridge on Spring Ridge Circle in Estero, a different place with no tie to Bonita Bay. Spring Ridge at Bonita Bay is 59 homes on Fawnwood Court and Mandevilla Drive in Bonita Springs, ZIP 34134, inside the Bonita Bay gates. Search listings and county records by the street address to stay on the right one.
Spring Ridge sits on the northern edge of Bonita Bay, near Spring Creek, which forms the community’s northern border. Spring Creek Park, the master association’s park on the creek, is at the north end of Mandevilla Drive. By straight line from the center of the neighborhood, the Club address on Country Club Drive is about 1.0 mile away, the Promenade at Bonita Bay about 1.2 miles and Bay Woods about 0.6 mile.
Spring Ridge has 59 homes on the Lee County roll: 43 on Fawnwood Court (26 on Bonita Bay Unit 34 and 17 on Unit 35) and 16 on Mandevilla Drive (Bonita Bay Unit 32), where one house spans two platted lots. One more Unit 32 lot, 26101 Mandevilla Drive, has no house on the 2026 roll.
The county roll dates the 59 homes from 1996 to 2003: four in 1996, ten in 1997, nine in 1998, fifteen in 1999, twelve in 2000, three in 2001, four in 2002 and two in 2003. Mandevilla Drive was built first, from 1996 to 2000, and the Fawnwood Court plats from 1997 to 2003. No house on the roll has been replaced since it was built.
Spring Ridge homes record 3,443 to 11,347 heated square feet on the Lee County roll, a median of 4,928; without the one 11,347-square-foot house on joined lots the largest is 8,028. MLS living area can differ from the county figure because the two count upper and lower rooms differently: the one recent sale recorded 4,414 county heated square feet and 5,266 MLS living square feet.
On the Lee County roll, 27 Spring Ridge homes record four bedrooms, 22 record three, 7 record five, and one each records six, seven and eight. Bedroom counts on the roll can differ from a listing’s description of dens and flex rooms, so read the floor plan and the listing for the specific house.
On the county field cards, 31 Spring Ridge homes record two living stories, 19 record one story and 9 record 1.8 stories, the county’s notation for a partial upper level, often above a finished lower garage. Most one-story houses are on Fawnwood Court (17 of 19); Mandevilla Drive is mostly two-story. No card records an elevator.
Spring Ridge lots measure 0.509 to 1.361 acres on Lee County’s parcel layer, a median of 0.671 acre, about 29,200 square feet. Two lots measure an acre or more, 26091 Mandevilla Drive (1.361) and 26099 Fawnwood Court (1.062). The Unit 35 lots at the head of Fawnwood Court are the smallest, a median of 0.610 acre.
Yes. The Lee County parcel layer flags a private pool on all 59 Spring Ridge parcels, and the field cards record pool heaters on 29 houses, custom pool enclosures on 13, disappearing-edge features on 5 and outdoor kitchens on 34. Spring Ridge has no shared neighborhood pool on the county record.
All 59 field cards record a stem-wall foundation, a concrete tile roof and a paver-type driveway. The walls are concrete block and stucco on 54 cards, stucco and common brick on 3 and common brick on 2. The county grades construction quality “above average” on 41 cards, “excellent” on 9 and “average” on 9.
Every Spring Ridge lot touches a golf course parcel owned by the Bonita Bay Club on Lee County’s map: 50 touch the parcel the county calls the North Central Area and 9 the Creekside course. The county classes 54 lots as golf frontage and 5 as lake frontage. A shared boundary is not always a fairway view, so walk the lot.
Fifteen Spring Ridge lots sit within 16 feet of a lake on the county’s hydrography layer, eight of them around one lake of about 5.3 acres, and the county classes five lots as lake frontage (26079, 26083 and 26087 Fawnwood Court and 26100 and 26131 Mandevilla Drive). The lakes are stormwater lakes, not navigable water.
No. No Spring Ridge parcel records a boat dock or seawall on the county parcel layer, and no field card records one. The kayak and canoe launch dock at Spring Creek Park, at the end of Mandevilla Drive, is a master association amenity shared with every Bonita Bay resident.
At the Bonita Bay Marina on the Imperial River, a separately owned, resident-investor marina with dry storage for boats up to 36 feet, wet slips and a published maximum draft of 36 inches, or at a marina elsewhere. Slip and rack fees are set by the marina, and no slip comes with a Spring Ridge home. Kayaks and canoes launch at Spring Creek Park.
A Spring Ridge home comes with its own pool and, through the Bonita Bay Community Association, Bonita Bay’s gated entry, Community Patrol, 12 miles of paths, three parks (Spring Creek Park is at the end of Mandevilla Drive) and the Private Beach with its shuttle. Bonita Bay Club golf, racquet sports and dining require a separate, optional membership.
Spring Ridge is inside Bonita Bay’s gates, and the master association’s Community Patrol works inside them. We found no record of a separate Spring Ridge gate. Visitor and vendor access runs through the master association’s procedures, delivered with the documents at purchase, and law enforcement is the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.
Spring Ridge owners pay the Bonita Bay Community Association master assessment, which the master association does not publish on a public page. We found no separate Spring Ridge association, and Bonita Bay has no CDD. The estoppel certificate and the §720.401 disclosure summary in a sale state the current assessment and any charge due at closing.
We found none on a primary record. Every Spring Ridge common parcel on the Lee County parcel layer, the Mandevilla Drive right of way, the Fawnwood Court right of way and landscape buffer and Spring Creek Park, is owned by the Bonita Bay Community Association. A state registration for a “Spring Ridge Phase 1, Unit 2” association matches no Spring Ridge plat. The estoppel certificate confirms what applies.
The Bonita Bay Community Association. On the Lee County parcel layer the Unit 32 road right of way under Mandevilla Drive (9.64 acres) and the Unit 34 right of way and landscape buffer on Fawnwood Court (2.98 acres) are master association parcels, so street upkeep, streetlights and landscaping along them fall within the master association’s budget.
No. Bonita Bay has no Community Development District and no special taxing district; Lee County’s list of special districts names nearby CDDs but none for Bonita Bay. The Spring Ridge parcels carry the tax district “City of Bonita Springs / Bonita Springs Fire” on the county parcel layer, the same as other Bonita Springs addresses.
No source we reviewed describes Spring Ridge as a 55-and-over community. The master Declaration provisions summarized on this page, the Lee County roll, the three recorded plats and the master association’s public pages set no age restriction, so buyers of any age can purchase a Spring Ridge home.
Yes, subject to the Bonita Bay master Declaration, which sets no minimum lease term, no lease cap and no lease approval but binds every tenant to the governing documents, and to anything recorded against the lot. The Southwest Florida MLS pull of September 30, 2026 returned no leased Spring Ridge record in the prior 12 months.
Pet rules come from the master association’s Rules and Regulations and anything recorded against the lot; the recorded master Declaration contains no pet provision, and we found no published Spring Ridge pet rule. Leash and waste rules apply in common areas and parks. Request the current rules early in your inspection period if you have a pet.
Mostly. On FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer, 49 of the 59 Spring Ridge lot centers measure Zone AE with a 10-foot base flood elevation, 2 measure Zone AE at 11 feet and 8 measure shaded Zone X, the 0.2% annual chance area, all on panel 12071C0652G, effective November 17, 2022. The zone under the house and its elevation certificate decide the rating.
A federally backed lender requires flood insurance on a house in Zone AE, which covers most Spring Ridge houses; on the eight lots whose centers measure shaded Zone X, the lender’s determination for the structure decides. Spring Ridge is inside Evacuation Zone A, so most owners carry flood cover either way. The City’s CRS Class 5 rating gives NFIP policies a 25% discount.
All five Spring Ridge points we ran on Lee County’s evacuation layer, three on Fawnwood Court and two on Mandevilla Drive, fall in Evacuation Zone A (storm surge zone 1), the first zone Lee County orders to evacuate as a storm approaches. Confirm an address with the state’s Know Your Zone lookup.
We found no primary source documenting Hurricane Ian damage to specific Spring Ridge homes. Inside Bonita Bay, the documented damage includes the total destruction of the master association’s Private Beach facility, since rebuilt, and flooded Club facilities and golf course bridges. The seller’s disclosures, City permit history and insurance claim history confirm a specific house’s record.
No. The Bonita Bay Club is a separate, member-owned, optional club, and buying a Spring Ridge home neither makes you a member nor requires you to join, even though every Spring Ridge lot touches Club golf land. The Club does not publish its initiation fees or dues on its public website.
Yes. The Private Beach on Hickory Boulevard is owned by the Bonita Bay Community Association, not the Club, and every Spring Ridge owner has access through the master association, with a resident shuttle. It was destroyed by Hurricane Ian, rebuilt in concrete with breakaway walls and reopened on November 13.
None that we found on the public record. The master association’s $500 per unit beach-rebuild assessment, approved March 20, 2025, was due June 30, 2025 and is past. The estoppel certificate for the specific home lists any assessment due and any pending special assessment, and owners can inspect the master association’s records under Section 720.303.
The Lee County qualified-deed record shows 12 Spring Ridge sales in the 60 months since November 2021 at a $3,800,000 median, from $2,875,000 to $4,500,000, a median of $707 per county heated square foot. The newest, 26040 Fawnwood Court, recorded $4,450,000 on May 22, 2026. Twelve sales is a small sample, so match a house to its closest deeds.
The one Spring Ridge closing on the Southwest Florida MLS pull of September 30, 2026, 26040 Fawnwood Court, recorded 40 days on market and closed at 93.7% of its $4,750,000 asking price. One closing is a count, not a pattern; time to sell depends mostly on the first price and the condition.
None were listed for sale and none were pending on the Southwest Florida MLS pull of September 30, 2026, and that may have changed since. Our Domain Realty Group team keeps the current listings on its own site; a buyer who wants Spring Ridge should be ready when the right house comes up.
Expect the §720.401 disclosure summary before you sign, the master association’s estoppel certificate before closing, and on request the master Declaration, By-Laws, Rules and Regulations and Design Guidelines. Ask the seller for the elevation certificate, the wind mitigation and four-point reports, the permit history and a survey showing the lot against the golf and lake parcels.
Lee County public schools serve Spring Ridge through proximity-based choice: a student ranks schools within the proximity zone for the address. Under the district’s 2025-2026 plan the Bonita Springs elementary zone is Zone Q, the middle zone is Zone GG and high school uses the South choice zone. Confirm a specific address with the district’s zone locator.
On the same 60-month county yardstick, Spring Ridge recorded 12 deeds at a $3,800,000 median and $707 per heated square foot; Bay Woods, about 0.6 mile south, recorded 14 at $3,875,000 and $804. Spring Ridge has more homes, all built 1996 to 2003 with golf land behind every lot; Bay Woods adds 16 houses built from 2015 to 2019.
The questions Spring Ridge owners ask us before they list, answered from the Lee County deed record, the 59 county home cards, the master association’s documents, FEMA’s flood layer and the Southwest Florida MLS pull of September 30, 2026.
Your Spring Ridge home is worth what the closest matching deeds support, adjusted for its size, stories, lot and condition. The 12 qualified Spring Ridge deeds of the last 60 months recorded a $3,800,000 median, from $2,875,000 to $4,500,000, and from $456 to $1,008 per heated square foot, so the median alone can miss by a wide margin. Start with a free valuation and we will price it from the deeds that match your square footage, your story count and your golf or lake frontage.
The best listing agent for Spring Ridge knows every deed on Fawnwood Court and Mandevilla Drive and can explain the neighborhood’s three plats, its golf lots and its flood zones to a buyer. McGreevy and Comisar are the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012 and Top 1% nationally since 2008, and this guide was built from all 59 Spring Ridge county cards, every qualified Spring Ridge deed since November 2021 and our own flood measurement at every lot.
One qualified Spring Ridge deed was recorded in the 12 months to September 30, 2026: 26040 Fawnwood Court at $4,450,000 on May 22, 2026. The Southwest Florida MLS, pulled September 30, 2026, shows the same single closing, at 93.7% of a $4,750,000 asking price after 40 days on market. Before it, the county record shows three Spring Ridge deeds in the first four months of 2025.
Spring Ridge homes recorded a median of $3,800,000 across 12 qualified deeds in the 60 months since November 2021, and a median of $707 per county heated square foot. The four Mandevilla Drive deeds recorded a $3,824,500 median and the eight Fawnwood Court deeds $3,600,000. With twelve deeds on 59 homes, the closest matching sales for size and condition matter more than either median.
The one Spring Ridge closing on the Southwest Florida MLS pull of September 30, 2026, 26040 Fawnwood Court, recorded 40 days on market. One closing is a count, not a pattern. In a neighborhood that records two or three deeds a year, the clearest lesson is that a well-priced, well-documented Spring Ridge home can find its buyer within two months, while an ambitious first price can add many months.
The one Spring Ridge closing on the Southwest Florida MLS pull of September 30, 2026 sold at 93.7% of its list price: $4,450,000 against $4,750,000. A single ratio is a data point, not a promise, so we read it alongside the deeds that match your home and the asking prices of Bay Woods and Rookery Lake listings competing for the same buyers on the day you list.
On the 60-month county record, the four Mandevilla Drive deeds recorded a $3,824,500 median and the eight Fawnwood Court deeds $3,600,000, a gap of $224,500 that is smaller than the spread inside either street. The county’s 2025 values put the Mandevilla Drive houses (Unit 32) at a median of $3,072,533, above Fawnwood Court’s Unit 34 and Unit 35 medians, because those lots carry larger and more two-story houses.
Every Spring Ridge lot touches Club golf land, so golf frontage is the norm here rather than a premium over other lots on the street. The ten golf-class deeds of the 60-month window recorded a $3,625,000 median, and the two lake-class deeds $3,849,000 and $4,500,000, too few to price a view. What a buyer pays for is the view itself, so we photograph and describe it accurately.
Two of the 12 deeds in the 60-month window were on lots the county classes as lake frontage: 26100 Mandevilla Drive at $3,849,000 and 26079 Fawnwood Court at $4,500,000, both above the $3,800,000 median. Two sales cannot isolate the value of a lake, but they show buyers paying full prices for the lake lots, and we document the view and the lot line on your listing.
The 12 deeds span $1,625,000, and size does not explain it: the lowest, 26052 Fawnwood Court at $2,875,000, is a 6,307-square-foot house, and the highest per square foot, 26040 at $1,008, is 4,414 square feet. With every house built from 1996 to 2003, condition and updating, which the deed record does not show, are the likely difference, which is why we document yours.
Describe it from the record: a detached single-family pool home on Fawnwood Court or Mandevilla Drive in Spring Ridge at Bonita Bay, built in the year on the county roll, with the heated area, stories, lot size and golf or lake frontage the county records, plus every documented update. Never call it a villa or attached home; every Spring Ridge card records a detached house on its own lot.
Count them the way the measurement standard and the permits support, and say which number you are using. Twenty-one Spring Ridge cards record a finished lower garage and thirteen a three-quarter story, and the one recent sale showed 4,414 county heated square feet against 5,266 MLS living square feet. Buyers compare price per square foot, so a clear, documented figure protects your price and your sale.
You can say the lot backs onto Bonita Bay Club golf land, because the county map shows every Spring Ridge lot touching a Club golf parcel and the county classes 54 lots as golf frontage. Whether the house looks onto a fairway, a green, a lake or a buffer is a matter of the actual view, so describe what a buyer sees from the lanai and let the photographs show it.
Describe what the record supports. The county shows the lots sold vacant one at a time from 1995 to 2000 and the houses built individually from 1996 to 2003, with three improvement types, varied story counts and sizes from 3,443 to 11,347 square feet. If you hold the original plans or builder records for your house, they support the description; we do not name builders without a primary record.
You must deliver the §720.401 disclosure summary before the contract is signed, and Florida’s residential flood disclosure applies to every sale. The master association’s estoppel certificate is needed for closing. Buyers also ask for the elevation certificate, wind mitigation and four-point reports, roof, pool, window and air-conditioning permits, a survey and the current insurance declarations, so gather them before you list.
Under Section 720.401, a contract signed without the required disclosure summary is voidable by the buyer until closing, so a missing summary hands your buyer a way out. The master Declaration (§12.13) repeats the seller’s duty to deliver it. We attach the summary to every Spring Ridge contract package so the buyer signs it before or with the offer.
An estoppel certificate is the master association’s written statement of what is owed on your lot: assessments, any special assessment and any charge due at closing. Under Section 720.30851 the association must issue it within a set time for a set fee. The title agent usually requests it once you are under contract; ordering it early avoids closing-week surprises on a Spring Ridge sale.
A charge at transfer may apply. The recorded 2011 master Declaration contains a buyer-paid resale reserve assessment, and a later master association statement describes a different formula, with no recorded amendment located that reconciles them, so we do not publish either figure. The master association’s estoppel certificate states exactly what is due at your Spring Ridge closing and who pays it.
The master Declaration requires no sale approval that we found, and we found no separate Spring Ridge association that could add one. You must deliver the §720.401 disclosure summary, and the estoppel certificate is needed for closing. Whether anything recorded against your lot adds a notice step is shown in your title documents, which we read before your home goes on the market.
Yes. Bonita Bay’s open house guidelines require 72 hours’ notice to the master association with the listing agreement, limit hours to Monday through Saturday 9 to 5 and Sunday 1 to 4, require the master association’s sign standard, and allow no SOLD signs. Gate access for visitors follows the master association’s procedures, so every Spring Ridge open house is planned with the gate in mind.
The $500 per unit beach-rebuild assessment approved on March 20, 2025 was due June 30, 2025, so for most Spring Ridge owners it is paid and past. The estoppel certificate confirms that nothing remains owed on your lot. Disclose anything you know of that is owed or pending, and let the estoppel speak for the master association’s current charges.
Present it plainly and with documents. FEMA’s layer puts 49 of the 59 Spring Ridge lot centers in Zone AE at 10 feet, 2 at 11 feet and 8 in shaded Zone X, all on panel 12071C0652G and in Evacuation Zone A. Give buyers your lot’s measured zone, the elevation certificate and a recent flood quote, and the City’s CRS Class 5 discount, before they ask.
It matters more than almost any other document. A buyer’s flood premium follows the lowest floor’s height against the base flood elevation, and the City notes premiums fall roughly half for each foot above it. With houses built from 1996 to 2003 on stem walls, a current certificate replaces guesses with a number. If you do not have one, order it before you list.
Fix what an inspector, an insurer and a lender will flag on a house built from 1996 to 2003: a roof near the end of its life, pool equipment, air-conditioning units, opening protection and any open permit. Twenty-three Spring Ridge cards record no opening protection, so documented impact protection and a recent roof permit can move both the price and the buyer’s insurance quote.
In Zone AE, a renovation or repair costing 50% or more of the structure’s market value counts as a substantial improvement under the City’s floodplain rules, and the whole house must then meet current flood requirements. A buyer planning a major remodel of a late-1990s Spring Ridge house will ask about it, so your elevation certificate and permit history help them plan, and help you hold the price.
Present it so a buyer sees the lot and the golf or lake view first and the house’s age last. Clear the lanai and pool deck, light the main rooms, and photograph the view from the rooms that face it. In a neighborhood where every house is 23 to 30 years old, clean, updated-looking rooms and a documented maintenance record do more than furniture alone.
Bonita Bay’s buyer traffic is strongest in the winter and spring season, when seasonal buyers are in town and can tour in person. The recent county record bears that out: of the last seven Spring Ridge deeds, five were recorded from February to May. A home that is ready, documented and priced well can sell in any month, so readiness matters more than the date.
Florida sellers usually pay documentary stamp tax on the deed (set by the state), the owner’s title insurance policy in Lee County by custom (the contract controls), the listing commission, any charge the estoppel certificate shows as the seller’s, prorated property taxes and assessments, and any repairs agreed in the contract. We give you a net sheet from the actual numbers before you sign a listing.
Yes, subject to the lease. The buyer takes the home subject to the tenant’s rights unless the lease says otherwise, and showings need the tenant’s cooperation under the lease’s notice terms. The master Declaration binds tenants to the governing documents. The Southwest Florida MLS pull of September 30, 2026 showed no leased Spring Ridge record in the prior 12 months.
Your Club membership is separate from your Spring Ridge deed, even though your lot touches Club golf land. Whether a membership can pass to a buyer, and on what terms, is the Club’s decision under its own rules, which it does not publish on its public website. Your Spring Ridge sale never requires a membership on either side, and we explain the separation to every buyer.
Financing a detached single-family home is routine, but lenders and insurers look hard at houses of this age. Most lenders require flood insurance in Zone AE, and the insurer prices windstorm from the roof, the openings and the wind mitigation report. A documented roof, opening protection and a current elevation certificate keep a financed Spring Ridge buyer’s approval on schedule.
With nothing listed in Spring Ridge on September 30, 2026, your listing competes mostly with the other top-priced single-family neighborhoods in Bonita Bay: Bay Woods (a $3,875,000 median on 14 deeds in 60 months) and Rookery Lake ($3,600,000 on 11), and with any other Spring Ridge home that comes to market. Buyers at this price compare all three, so we price against all three.
Compare on the same county yardstick and on the house itself. Spring Ridge recorded a $3,800,000 median and $707 per heated square foot over 60 months; Bay Woods recorded $3,875,000 and $804, lifted by its 2015 to 2019 houses. Against a Bay Woods house of the same era, a well-updated Spring Ridge home with golf land behind it competes on equal terms.
Yes. Every Spring Ridge house has a concrete tile roof and was built from 1996 to 2003, so a buyer’s inspector and insurer will ask its age first. A documented roof replacement with its City permit and a wind mitigation report showing the roof deck and roof-to-wall connections can lower the buyer’s windstorm quote and remove the largest inspection question.
Gather the deed and survey, the elevation certificate, the wind mitigation and four-point reports, every City permit for roof, windows, doors, pool, generator and air conditioning, your insurance declarations, recent utility and pool service records, any Design Review approvals from the master association and the last master association statement. Those records let a buyer price the house rather than its age.
Under the standard Florida contract forms, the buyer’s inspection period lets the buyer ask for repairs or credits, or cancel within the period, depending on the form used. On a house built from 1996 to 2003, a pre-listing inspection shows you the roof, pool, electrical and air-conditioning findings first, so you can repair, price or disclose them before a buyer negotiates on them.
The county record shows the level rising over the decade, with recent sales mixed. Medians of the qualified house deeds read $2,550,000 in 2016, $2,700,000 in 2021, $3,800,000 in 2023, $3,525,000 in 2024 and $3,400,000 in 2025, and the one 2026 deed recorded $4,450,000. Each year holds one to four deeds, so they show a level, not a precise rate.
Property taxes for the year are prorated between you and the buyer on the closing statement, and the master assessment is prorated or paid through the period the estoppel certificate shows. Any charge due at transfer appears on the estoppel. The buyer’s future taxes reset to a new assessed value after the sale, so your current bill is not theirs.
