Bonita Fairways - Natura

By Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar, McGreevy and Comisar, Domain Realty Group. Updated September 2026.

McGreevy and Comisar are the team Natura sellers should call first, and the team Natura buyers call when they want the public record instead of a builder brochure: what the 10 recorded Natura sales of the last 12 months actually paid, who is exempt from the $2,500 Bonita Fairways transfer fee and who is not, what the developer still controls, and what happens now that the last 106 lots have sold. Natura at Bonita Fairways is a 329-lot neighborhood of single-family patio homes and villas inside the master-planned community of Bonita Fairways in Bonita Springs, Florida. It wraps the community’s public golf course, has three recorded phases, and is the highest-priced of the six neighborhoods inside the gate. Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar lead Domain Realty Group, the #1 real estate team in Southwest Florida since 2012 and Top 1% of agents nationally since 2008.

This guide is built from the Lee County Property Appraiser’s parcel and sales files and all 354 Natura parcels on the 2026 roll, the three recorded Natura plats, the recorded Bonita Fairways declarations and amendments, the association’s posted budgets, minutes and vote results, the state’s corporation filings, FEMA’s flood map service, the builder’s own published model list, and our Southwest Florida MLS pull of September 29, 2026. Where the public record stops, we say so and name the document that answers the question.

If you own in Natura and are weighing a sale, start with the market snapshot and the seller section, then call Jesse. If you are buying, the fee, developer-control, flood and comparison sections will tell you whether Natura fits before you tour, and whether you are buying from the builder or from an owner, which changes what you pay at closing.

Why McGreevy and Comisar Are the Best Realtor for Natura at Bonita Fairways

McGreevy and Comisar are the best realtor for Natura at Bonita Fairways because the case is on the record: the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012, Top 1% of agents nationally since 2008, over $900 million in personal sales, and a Natura market read built from every qualified Natura deed, the recorded plats and amendments, and the association’s own minutes.

If you’re searching for the best realtor for Natura at Bonita Fairways, in Bonita Fairways, in Bonita Springs, whether you’re ready to sell your Natura home or buy your next one, McGreevy and Comisar is the team that delivers. We lead Domain Realty Group, the #1 real estate team in Southwest Florida since 2012, Top 1% Nationally since 2008, with over $2.5 billion sold as a team and $900 million in personal sales between Jesse and Marc.

That matters in Natura for a specific reason. Natura is really three products under one name: a 199-lot Phase 1 of patio homes built from 2016 on, a 24-villa Phase 2 on Natura Boulevard, and a 106-lot Phase 3 that has no homes yet. Buyers in the first two phases pay a $2,500 transfer fee to the master association unless they buy directly from the builder, while a first-time buyer from an owner does not escape it. A listing agent who prices a Natura home off a Bonita Fairways average, or who repeats the builder’s price list, is guessing.

Recent Natura track record (last 12 months): In the 12 months to September 29, 2026 the Lee County qualified-deed record shows 10 Natura sales: 7 resales at a median of $440,000 and 3 first sales of builder-owned homes at $550,000 to $579,990, for $4,777,490 in recorded volume, the highest being $579,990. The Southwest Florida MLS shows 8 Natura closings in the same 12 months at a median of $435,000, a median of 127 days on market and a median sale-to-list ratio of 97.2 percent. This page does not claim a Natura closing count; in the last 12 months we tracked each of these sales against its deed, its size and its flood zone, because that is the work a Natura price needs.

Key Takeaways

• Natura at Bonita Fairways was platted for 329 lots in three phases: 199 patio-home lots (Phase 1, 2016), 24 villa lots (Phase 2, 2020) and 106 lots (Phase 3, 2025); the 2026 county roll shows 219 finished homes, 4 vacant Phase 1 lots and the 106 vacant Phase 3 lots.
• The Lee County qualified-deed record shows 10 Natura sales in the 12 months to September 29, 2026, the first window with 10 or more sales, at a median of $486,250 (the mean of $472,500 and $500,000), a range of $380,000 to $579,990 and a median of $234.97 per heated square foot.
• Of those 10 sales, 7 were resales at a median of $440,000 and 3 were first sales of builder-owned homes at $550,000 to $579,990, so the headline median mixes two markets.
• The Southwest Florida MLS shows 8 Natura closings in the 12 months to September 29, 2026, with a median of $435,000, a median of 127 days on market and a median sale-to-list ratio of 97.2 percent; 1 home is active at $519,900 and none is pending.
• The $2,500 Bonita Fairways resale contribution, recorded March 12, 2024, exempts a buyer of a Natura home only when the seller is Home Dynamics or an affiliate, successor or assign; a buyer from an individual owner pays it, first-time buyer or not.
• The developer still controls the Natura association: on July 16, 2026 the association reported that Home Dynamics holds 329 Natura votes (199 plus 24 plus 106) and that turnover has not occurred.
• All 106 Phase 3 lots sold on one deed dated August 12, 2026 for $12,985,000, which is $122,500 a lot, and a memorandum recorded with the deed on August 13, 2026 gives Lennar Homes, LLC an option to buy those lots until November 20, 2029.
• On FEMA panel 12071C0656G, 152 of 222 Natura home footprints are centered in a Spring Creek Zone AE area and 70 in shaded Zone X, so flood insurance and elevation paperwork differ house by house.
• In 2022 the county recorded 103 Natura sales, 43 of them on just two days, against 12 in 2020 and 28 in 2021, so the 2022 prices are builder contract prices and not a resale market.
• McGreevy and Comisar are Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008 and lead Domain Realty Group; call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

What Is It Like to Live in Natura as a Homebuyer?

Living in Natura means owning a single-family patio home or villa on its own lot inside the gated Bonita Fairways golf community, with an attached garage, a golf-course or preserve setting, the master clubhouse and pool a short drive or walk away, and a neighborhood association that is still controlled by the builder.

What Kind of Home a Natura Home Is

A Natura home is a fee-simple home on its own recorded lot, not a condominium unit. The Lee County Property Appraiser codes every one of the 219 finished Natura homes as a single-family residence on its own parcel, even though the builder’s patio design connects some homes by breezeways or arches, as the Naples Daily News described the plan in 2014 (Naples Daily News, August 29, 2014). Phase 1 homes are two-story (157 of 193 rated) or one-story (36); the 24 Phase 2 villas are all one-story.

Who Natura Fits

Natura fits buyers who want a newer, single-family home inside a gate at a price below the Spanish Wells and Highland Woods house medians, who can live with a master association fee and a neighborhood association fee, and who are comfortable buying beside an active builder. The county roll shows 114 of 219 finished homes with a homestead exemption, so about half are full-time residences, and 178 of 219 owner mailing addresses are in Florida. It also suits owners who want a garage and a small yard rather than a shared building: every rated home has an attached garage.

Who Should Look Elsewhere

Buyers who need a published neighborhood budget before they offer should look carefully, because the Natura association’s dues, declaration and rules are not posted anywhere we could reach. Buyers who want a home outside the FEMA high-risk map should check each address, because 152 of 222 Natura home footprints sit in Zone AE. Buyers who want a completely built neighborhood should note that 106 Phase 3 lots have just changed hands, and buyers who want a single-story home should know that only 60 of Natura’s 217 rated homes are one-story. Buyers who need a 55+ community should look at Carousel Cove, the only Bonita Fairways neighborhood with a recorded age restriction.

A Straight Answer on Natura Real Estate Agents

It matters who represents you in Natura because the answers change by buyer and by seller: whether the $2,500 fee applies depends on who the seller is, whether a home is in the flood zone depends on the lot, and whether a listing price is credible depends on whether it is compared with builder contract prices or with owner-to-owner sales. We do not publish a Natura closing count on this page, because the page is built from public records rather than from our own sales; ask any agent, us included, for the specific Natura sales they can document. Sellers can start with a free Natura valuation or call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072, and buyers can call Marc at (239) 287-5873 or read how we represent buyers.

Natura Market Snapshot: What Do Natura Homes Sell For?

The Natura market moved on 10 recorded sales in the 12 months to September 29, 2026, at a median of $486,250 and a range of $380,000 to $579,990, but the 7 resales among them sold at a median of $440,000, and the MLS median of 8 closings was $435,000.

Data updated: September 2026 (sources, retrieved 29 Sep 2026).

The yardstick here is the county’s own record: deeds the Lee County Property Appraiser marks as qualified, arm’s-length sales of improved property, read from the county sales file and the parcel roll for all Natura homes, with the index built September 29, 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser parcel data). The newest recorded sale in that file is June 9, 2026, so the last 3.5 months of the 12-month window have not reached the roll yet. The window is 12 months because it is the shortest window with 10 or more Natura sales, and the median follows the rule that an even count takes the mean of the middle pair, here $472,500 and $500,000. The county and the MLS count different things: the county counts builder closings, private sales that never hit the MLS and deeds recorded with a lag, and the MLS counts agent-reported closings up to the pull date, so the two never match exactly.

Recorded Natura Sales by Window

Every window below ends September 29, 2026 and uses the county’s qualified improved sales; the 12-month row is the first window with 10 or more sales.

The median rises with the window because the long windows are mostly builder closings at 2017 to 2022 contract prices. Read the resale rows, not the all-sales rows, when you want to know what an owner can expect.

First Sales Versus Resales

The county’s own “builder-direct” flag misses seven first sales, so we define a first sale as the first recorded qualified sale of a parcel and everything after it as a resale. By that rule the 12-month window holds 3 first sales at $550,000 to $579,990 (median $550,000) and 7 resales at a median of $440,000, a range of $380,000 to $530,000 and $236.01 per heated square foot. Two of the three first sales are 2016-built homes beside the builder’s sales center, which may be former model homes, though no record we read says so; the third is a 2024-built home. Over 24 months the 15 resales ran $380,000 to $560,000 at a median of $480,000, and over 60 months the 46 resales ran $322,211 to $620,000 at a median of $508,250 (the mean of $507,500 and $509,000).

The 10 Recorded Natura Sales of the Last 12 Months

Ten sales is enough for a median but not enough to hide any of them, so here is every one, with no street addresses.

Together the 10 sales total $4,777,490, a mean of $477,749. Heated square feet are the county’s current figures, not a listing’s total area.

Natura Prices by Bedrooms and Size

Bedrooms and size explain less than you might expect, because the county’s bedroom field records 92 percent of Phase 1 homes as three-bedroom. In the 12 months, 8 of the 10 sales were three-bedroom homes (median $456,250, $235.00 per heated square foot), one was the two-bedroom villa ($530,000, $312.68) and one a four-bedroom ($550,000, $198.84). Over 24 months the 19 three-bedroom sales had a median of $480,000, the 3 two-bedroom villa sales a median of $510,000 and the single four-bedroom $550,000.

Size shows the same pattern in reverse: the smaller the home, the higher the price per square foot. Over 36 months (all 62 sales with a size), homes under 1,700 sq ft (7 sales) had a median of $509,000 at $303.70 per foot, homes of 1,700 to 1,999 (18) $499,950 at $290.60, homes of 2,000 to 2,299 (21) $507,500 at $248.70, and homes of 2,300 and up (16) $553,045 at $235.20. In the 12 months, the two homes under 1,700 sq ft (the villa and the 1,309-square-foot home) had a median of $485,000, or $324.40 a foot, while the two above 2,300 sq ft were both $550,000 first sales at $216.40 a foot. Each subgroup is small, so read these as patterns, not prices.

Natura Price Bands

The recorded sales cluster between $450,000 and $600,000 once the builder’s early closings roll out of the window, and that shift is the story of the neighborhood.

In the 60-month window 84 of 191 sales were under $400,000, almost all first sales from 2021 and 2022. In the 12-month window only 3 of 10 were, and all three were resales of 1,704 to 2,002 square feet at $380,000 to $390,000, two of them 2022-built and one 2016-built.

Natura Prices Year by Year

The county file follows Natura from its first recorded sale in December 2016 to June 9, 2026. Counts are qualified improved sales only, and 2026 is a partial year.

Resale medians peaked from 2022 to 2024 at $526,750 to $530,000 and are about 14 percent lower in the 2026 sample of 4, but four sales cannot carry a trend, so we do not call it one. The builder’s own current price list, which is undated, starts at $449,990 for its smallest patio model and reaches $519,990 for its largest.

What the 2022 Closing Surge Was

In 2022 the county recorded 103 Natura sales, 95 of them first sales (76 patio homes and 19 villas), against 28 in 2021 and 27 in 2023. Forty-three of the 103 closed on two days, 21 on August 29, 2022 and 22 on November 8, 2022, all builder-direct, and eight more closed on June 17, 2022. Fifteen of the 95 first sales closed before the county’s completion year for the home, so those prices reflect contracts written earlier, not spot prices for 2022.

Of the 43 parcels that closed on the two big days, 13 resold later, 6 of them within 12 months at prices 36 to 63 percent above the first price. One home bought from the builder on August 29, 2022 for $381,100 resold on February 17, 2023 for $560,000. The county file carries no buyer names or occupancy, so whether those early resales were investors, contract assignments or owners is not in the record. The two big days fall on either side of Hurricane Ian’s September 28, 2022 landfall, and no source we read says why the closings bunched, so we do not guess.

Repeat Sales: What Natura Owners Gained and Held

The county file shows 37 Natura homes that sold twice more than a year apart. The median annualized change is +10.16 percent, the median hold is 2.99 years and the median total change is +31.7 percent; 2 of the 37 pairs lost money, by 9.1 and 1.9 percent. That headline needs a warning: 32 of the 37 pairs are builder to first owner, with a median of +10.49 percent a year over 3.04 years, and they are inflated by the step from a builder contract price to a market price, so they are not appreciation.

The honest number is the owner-to-owner one. Five pairs sold from one owner to the next, with a median of +0.93 percent a year, a median hold of 2.99 years and a median total of +4.0 percent. Pairs whose second sale fell in the last 24 months (15 pairs) had a median of +8.02 percent a year over 3.3 years, and 93 percent showed a gain. Small samples again: five owner-to-owner pairs describe five homes.

When Natura Homes Resell

Natura resales cluster in winter and spring. Of the 51 resales on record, 17 recorded in the first quarter (median $509,000), 14 in the second ($499,000), 11 in the third ($490,000) and 9 in the fourth ($525,000), so 31 of 51 fell in January through June. March had the most (8) and October the fewest (1). The all-sales calendar is distorted by the 2022 builder closings and says nothing about buyer demand, so we use resales only, and monthly counts are too small to publish month-level medians.

How Many Natura Owners Live Here Full Time?

The county roll shows a homestead exemption on 114 of the 219 finished Natura homes, or 52 percent: 103 of the 195 Phase 1 patio homes and 11 of the 24 Phase 2 villas. Owner mailing addresses are in Florida for 178 of the 219 homes and elsewhere for 41, and for 164 of the 219 the tax-bill address is the home’s own street address, a rough sign of owner occupancy. A homestead exemption reflects ownership and residence on January 1, so a recent buyer may not show it yet, and the share is a floor, not an exact count of full-time residents. For a seller, that means about half of your prospective neighbors are year-round residents and the rest claim no homestead, which the record alone cannot explain.

Southwest Florida MLS: Days on Market and Sale-to-List

The MLS is where the days-on-market and sale-to-list numbers live, and it is the yardstick a seller competes against. We pulled it on September 29, 2026, segmented by the MLS neighborhood field, with every window ending that day.

The MLS shows 1 Natura home active at $519,900 and none pending on September 29, 2026. Nineteen Bonita Fairways MLS sales carry only the community name, not a neighborhood, and are not assigned to Natura here. The MLS has 66 Natura closings in all history against 265 on the county record, because most builder closings never went through the MLS.

Read together, the two sources agree on price and disagree on speed. A median of 127 days on market and a sale-to-list of 97.2 percent in the last 12 months mean Natura homes take about four months to sell and close about 3 percent under their final asking price, well behind the 13 days that Carousel Cove posted on 3 closings. With only 8 closings, a single slow sale moves that median, so treat it as a description of the last year, not a forecast.

How the County Record and the MLS Differ

The county deed record and the Southwest Florida MLS are two different systems. The county counts deeds it has qualified as arm’s-length sales, including builder closings and sales that never appeared on the MLS, and divides by its own heated area; the MLS counts agent-reported closings and divides by the listing’s living area. A recorded price can also differ from an MLS sold price when furnishings or credits are separated out, and the county lags: no recorded sale after June 9, 2026 is in the file, so a home that closed in July or August shows on the MLS and not yet on the roll. That is why the 12-month county count is 10 and the 12-month MLS count is 8.

Our Read of the Natura Market

Natura is a market where the comparable set is honest only if you sort it. Resales of 2022-built patio homes of 1,704 to 2,002 square feet have traded from $380,000 to $500,000 in the last 12 months, the villa sold at $530,000, and the largest and oldest first-sale homes went at $550,000 to $579,990, but those three were sales from the builder side. In the last 12 months we tracked each Natura sale by year built, size, phase and flood zone so that a price could be defended line by line.

How Did Natura Come to Be?

Natura came to be in August 2014, when Home Dynamics put a 27-acre parcel ringing the Bonita Fairways golf course under contract for semi-detached patio homes. The first plat recorded in 2016, a 24-villa second phase followed in 2020, and a 106-lot third phase was platted in August 2025 and sold on a single deed on August 12, 2026.

The timeline below is built only from recorded instruments, association minutes, state filings and press coverage, with the source beside each line.

Who Built Natura?

Home Dynamics built the Natura patio homes and villas, and its own site lists a sales center at 26603 Bonita Fairways Boulevard and six patio models. The Naples Daily News described the 2014 plan as the company’s second Southwest Florida community after Amberton in Naples (Naples Daily News, August 29, 2014). On the 2026 county roll Home Dynamics still owns 4 finished homes, one of them the sales center, and 4 vacant Phase 1 lots. For Phase 3, the deed runs from Home Dynamics Bonita, LLC to TPG AG EHC III (LEN) Multi State 2, LLC (Instrument 2026000214143), and a memorandum of option agreement recorded with it on August 13, 2026 (Instrument 2026000214144) gives Lennar Homes, LLC the option to buy the 106 lots and the phase's tracts until November 20, 2029.

What Was Planned in 2014 and What Was Built

The 2014 plan called for about 200 patio homes of 1,400 to 2,300 square feet, half with golf-course views and half with preserve views, at a starting price in the low- to mid-$200,000s. Phase 1 platted 199 lots, and the county now records heated areas from 1,309 to 2,766 square feet, so the built product ran both smaller and larger than the plan. The 2014 price is a plan, not a sale: the county’s first-sale median in 2017 was $299,690 and reached $556,090 by 2024.

The 2021 Annexation and the Master Voting Structure

Natura owners are members of the Bonita Fairways Community Association, the master association, through two voting groups recorded in the 2014 Amendment and Supplemental Declaration. The August 14, 2021 trustees’ minutes record the annexation of “Natura II” by a 5 to 0 vote. The minutes do not give the annexation’s instrument number, and we do not guess it.

What the Record Does Not Say

Two things are missing from every public document we could reach: the recorded declaration and bylaws of the Natura association itself, and the Natura association’s dues. The Natura association’s state filing shows it active, with annual reports filed every year from 2018 to 2026 and a management company as its registered agent (Florida Division of Corporations, Natura at Bonita Fairways Homeowners Association, Inc.). The Lee County Clerk’s official records and a resale estoppel certificate are where the missing documents live.

Thinking of Selling or Buying in Natura at Bonita Fairways? Start With the 10 Recorded Sales

Ten qualified deeds in the 12 months to September 29, 2026 at a $486,250 median, with 7 resales at $440,000, are the honest starting point for pricing or offering on a Natura home.

The Homes: What Will You Find in Natura?

Natura holds 219 finished single-family homes on the 2026 county roll: 195 two-story and one-story Phase 1 patio homes of 1,309 to 2,766 heated square feet, built from 2016 to 2025, and 24 one-story Phase 2 villas of 1,676 to 1,707 square feet, all on their own fee-simple lots with attached garages.

Data updated: September 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser roll of 354 Natura parcels, retrieved 29 Sep 2026).

The description below comes from the county’s parcel and building fields for every Natura parcel, not from a brochure (Lee County GIS, Parcels layer). Each row is a count on the 2026 roll, and the records carry the county’s own heated-area and year-built fields.

Phase 1: The Patio Homes

Phase 1 is the bulk of Natura, and its 195 finished homes were built in waves: 11 in 2016, 8 in 2017, 19 in 2018, 13 in 2019, 9 in 2020, 18 in 2021, 64 in 2022, 29 in 2023, 22 in 2024 and 2 in 2025. Of the 193 homes with a story count, 157 are two-story and 36 are one-story, and the one-story homes include the 17 homes of 1,309 square feet. Every rated home has an attached garage, 216 of 216 across both phases, and one home on the roll has a private pool. Two of the 195 Phase 1 homes have no size record, which suggests they were still under construction when the roll was built, and we count them as improved homes.

Phase 2: The Villas

The 24 villas on Natura Boulevard are all one-story, all recorded as two-bedroom and two-bath, and all between 1,676 and 1,707 heated square feet: 6 were built in 2021, 14 in 2022 and 4 in 2023. The builder’s own marketing has described two- and three-bedroom villas, but the county roll shows no third bedroom, so a listing that claims one may be counting a den, and we do not repeat it. The builder’s villa page now redirects to its home page, whose community map marks the villas “sold out.”

Phase 3: 106 Lots and No Homes Yet

Phase 3 has 106 recorded lots on 13.10 acres, a median lot of 3,138 square feet and about 8.1 lots per gross acre, slightly denser than Phase 1’s 199 lots on 26.68 acres, or about 7.5 an acre. The 2026 roll values the lots at $35,645 or $55,874 each for tax purposes, and the recorded price paid was $122,500 a lot. No home has been built on any Phase 3 lot on the roll. Lennar Homes, LLC holds a recorded option on the lots, and no product, price or opening date is published in a record we read.

Sizes on the County Roll

Natura patio homes cluster around a handful of heated sizes, which is why one home’s price is comparable with a small number of neighbors: 1,309 square feet (17 homes), 1,704 (28), 2,002 to 2,004 (37), 2,171 (44) and 2,351 to 2,355 (43), plus the villas at about 1,685. Those five clusters account for 169 of the 195 Phase 1 homes, so most Natura sales have a near-identical twin in the record.

The Builder’s Model List

Home Dynamics lists six priced patio models and a sold-out Model F on its own site, which is undated, and prices are stated as “starting at” and “subject to change without notice” (Home Dynamics, The Patios of Natura at Bonita Fairways). The heading of the same page reads “from the $500s,” while its model list starts at $449,990, so the page is internally inconsistent and we treat it as a brochure, not a price.

The builder’s sizes and the county’s heated areas differ by a few square feet to several dozen, and neither source maps a model to a roll size, so we do not print a model-by-address table.

What the Builder Says It Builds With

The builder’s specification lists a steel-reinforced concrete foundation, a stucco exterior, “contemporary flat tile roofing,” bronze aluminum window frames with insulated low-E glass, brick-paver driveways and walkways, nine-foot first-floor ceilings, a 14-SEER minimum central air conditioner, a 10-year structural warranty and sodded, landscaped home sites with automatic sprinklers. The specification does not say whether the glass is impact rated or whether shutters are standard, so a buyer should ask for the wind-mitigation report on the specific home and not assume either.

Roofs and Ages

Natura roofs are between 1 and 10 years old if none has been replaced, because the oldest homes were built in 2016 and the newest in 2025, and the builder specifies concrete tile. That is a proxy, not a record: re-roof permits by address are on the City of Bonita Springs permit portal, which we cover in the permits section below, and we found no Natura re-roof count to publish.

What Amenities Come With a Natura Home?

Natura has no clubhouse, pool or courts of its own. Its owners use the Bonita Fairways master amenities: a 1993 clubhouse of about 18,800 gross square feet, one pool and spa, four pickleball courts, one lighted tennis court, bocce and shuffleboard, and an 18-hole par-61 golf course that the homeowners own and the public may play.

Data updated: September 2026 (Bonita Fairways association documents and golf club site, retrieved 29 Sep 2026).

The amenity list is the master association’s, which every Natura owner joins through the master declaration, and Natura owners receive no separate club. The details below come from the association’s posted rules, its 2025 insurance appraisal and the golf club’s own pages.

What Is Inside the Natura Streets

Inside Natura there are homes, streets, preserve and golf-course frontage, and the neighborhood’s common tracts: 13 in Phase 1, 5 in Phase 2 and 7 in Phase 3 on the county roll. The 2023 annual meeting minutes list “Natura has its own pool” among the association’s goals for the next two to three years (2023 annual meeting minutes), but no neighborhood pool exists today.

The Master Clubhouse

The clubhouse at 26771 Bonita Fairways Boulevard is a two-story, elevator-served building of about 18,800 gross square feet, built in 1993 and owned by the master association. Its 2025 insurance appraisal measures 18,784 gross square feet (Townsend Appraisals, effective July 30, 2025), and the county roll records 15,856 square feet under roof. The builder’s marketing rounds it to 19,000 square feet, a figure we do not use. The building holds a 215-person banquet hall, the Bobcat Cafe, fitness rooms and meeting and craft rooms, and it is open to residents only.

Pool, Courts and Guest Limits

The master amenity center has one pool of about 1,831 square feet and one spa, open dawn to dusk, and whether the pool is heated is not stated in any association document we found. The court complex has four pickleball courts, one lighted tennis court lined for pickleball, bocce and shuffleboard, and courts are reserved online. An April 2026 amendment allows an owner up to 2 non-family day guests when accompanied, up to 6 family day guests and up to 6 family and 6 non-family overnight guests, and reserves pool and court play for owners, family, residential tenants and invited guests.

Golf: Owned by the Homeowners, Open to the Public

The Bonita Fairways course opened in 1993, was designed by Gordon Lewis, and plays 3,388 yards from the blue tees at par 61. The homeowners’ association bought it on March 27, 2020 for $1.2 million, recorded as Instrument 2020000078155 (Business Observer, April 28, 2020 reported the purchase). It is public pay-to-play with green fees of $30 to $45, owners receive 10 percent off, and a summer player card runs $550 single, $750 couple and $950 family from May 1 to September 30 (Bonita Fairways Golf Club, Summer Player Card). No Natura owner must join a golf club.

The Second Pool Natura Owners Voted On

A second master pool was approved and financed in 2024, but on July 16, 2026 members rejected a pool-loan expansion and a $500 special assessment by 122 votes for and 735 against, out of 857 (results of the July 16, 2026 vote). Natura’s 329 developer-held votes were counted against. Do not count on a second pool when you buy in Natura, and ask for the latest board minutes before you close.

What Are the HOA and Condo Fees in Natura?

Every Natura owner pays the Bonita Fairways master assessment, which is $1,100 for 2026, plus the Natura association’s own dues, which are not published in any document we could reach, and a buyer from an individual owner also pays a one-time $2,500 resale contribution to the master association. Natura has no condominium fee, because Natura is a subdivision of fee-simple homes.

Data updated: September 2026 (Bonita Fairways 2026 master budget and recorded amendments, retrieved 29 Sep 2026).

The $1,100 master fee is not the whole monthly cost, and the Natura layer is the one buyers most often miss. The table lists every layer we could document, with the amount, the period, who pays and where the number comes from.

The Natura dues, what they pay for and any Natura working-capital fee are not published. A resale estoppel certificate under section 720.30851, Florida Statutes or the approved Natura budget, both held by the association’s management company, answers all three.

Who Pays the $2,500, and Who Is Exempt

The $2,500 resale capital contribution is due from the transferee, meaning the buyer, and members approved it on March 6, 2024. The recorded Certificate of Amendment exempts a conveyance to the owner’s spouse, to a person who was a co-owner just before, to the owner’s estate, surviving spouse or heirs on death, to a trustee or spouse solely for estate or tax planning, and to a mortgagee, the association or a neighborhood association by foreclosure. It also exempts a person who acquires a lot or living unit within one year of conveying a different one, and the purchaser of a lot or living unit from the builder entities named in the amendment.

The Builder Exemption in the Recorded Words

Exemption (g) reads: “the purchaser of a Lot or Living Unit from Home Dynamics Bonita, LLC, Home Dynamics Bonita Fairways, LLC, Cedar Green Homes, L.L.C., or their affiliates, successors and assigns.” That is the whole Natura exemption. It applies when the seller is one of those entities, and it says nothing about who the buyer is, so a first-time home buyer purchasing from an individual owner pays the $2,500, and an investor purchasing from the builder does not.

Why the Public Notice Reads Differently

The association’s public notice of the transfer fee lists “Botanica / Natura 1st time buyers” among sales that do not qualify for the fee. Read against the recorded amendment, “1st time” means the first sale from the builder, not a first-time home buyer. If the notice and the recorded text ever disagree, the recorded amendment governs.

Do Phase 3 Buyers Pay It?

That is not published. Whether the Phase 3 lot purchaser or the buyers of its future homes count as “successors and assigns” of Home Dynamics turns on the August 12, 2026 deed, any recorded assignment of declarant rights, and a written interpretation from the master association, and we found none of them. A Phase 3 buyer should get the exemption answer in writing before signing.

What the Master Fee Pays For

The master budget lists the common-area landscape contract, the gate and its data, sheriff patrol, pool and spa, clubhouse utilities, insurance, management, reserves and $120,000 of golf-loan interest, and it budgets $100,000 of reserve-assessment income. A budget line is not a promise of service, and the budget does not say what a Natura owner’s own lot maintenance costs.

What the Natura Dues Cover, and What We Could Not Confirm

We found no Natura budget, so we cannot say whether the Natura dues pay for lawn care, irrigation, roads or management. The only evidence is indirect: on September 6, 2022 the master board voted to pay each neighborhood $250 a door for management and lawn services, and on June 14, 2023 it voted 4 to 1 to stop, effective December 31, 2023 (September 6, 2022 minutes, June 14, 2023 minutes). That shows neighborhoods were expected to run management and lawn services, and it does not show what Natura’s dues include.

How to Get the Natura Number Before You Offer

Ask for three documents before you write an offer: the Natura association’s current adopted budget, a resale estoppel certificate showing the regular assessment and any special assessment, and the master association’s 2026 budget. Add one-twelfth of the $1,100 master fee to the Natura dues, add insurance and property tax, and you have the real monthly cost. We assemble all three for a Natura buyer, so see how we represent buyers and call Marc at (239) 287-5873, and a seller can request a free Natura valuation or call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

Natura Layered Costs: Master Assessments, Special Assessments and Property Tax

A Natura buyer at the 12-month county median of $486,250 would owe about $7,385 a year, or $615 a month, in property tax, the $1,100 master assessment and the city stormwater fee without a homestead exemption, and about $7,064, or $589 a month, with one, before the Natura association’s own unpublished dues, insurance and the one-time $2,500.

Data updated: September 2026 (Lee County 2026 proposed millage and Bonita Fairways 2026 master budget, retrieved 29 Sep 2026).

The example below is a worked illustration, not a tax bill. It assumes a buyer pays $486,250, the county median for the 12 months to September 29, 2026 (mean of $472,500 and $500,000), and that the county assesses the home at that price the year after purchase, which is when a purchase resets assessed value. Natura is in Bonita Springs taxing district 017, where the 2026 proposed millage totals 12.8217 mills, and the rates come from the Lee County Property Appraiser’s 2026 notice of proposed taxes for a Natura home (Lee County Property Appraiser).

The Millage, Line by Line

Each line below is the levy in mills, and the dollar columns apply it to a $486,250 taxable value (non-homestead) and to $461,250 (homestead, after the first $25,000 exemption). A mill is $1 per $1,000 of taxable value.

The Arithmetic, Step by Step

The non-homestead tax is $486,250 divided by 1,000, times 12.8217, which is $6,234.55. The homestead tax is ($486,250 minus $25,000) divided by 1,000, times 12.8217, which is $5,914.01, a difference of $320.54. Add the $1,100 master assessment and the $50 city stormwater fee for a home over 1,800 square feet, and the annual total is $7,384.55 without a homestead ($615.38 a month) and $7,064.01 with one ($588.67 a month). A 1,704-square-foot home would pay $20 for stormwater, not $50.

The one-time $2,500 is 0.51 percent of $486,250. The Natura association’s dues are not published and are excluded from every total on this page, and so are homeowners insurance and flood insurance, which for the 152 Natura homes centered in a high-risk flood zone can matter more than the tax.

What a Homestead Exemption Does and Does Not Do

The homestead exemption takes $25,000 off the taxable value for all levies under section 196.031, Florida Statutes, and an additional exemption of up to $25,000, indexed for inflation, applies to the non-school levies on assessed value above $50,000. Illustratively, a $25,000 second exemption is $25,000 times 7.5507 non-school mills, or $188.77, which would take the homestead tax to $5,725.24; we leave it out of the totals because the statute’s second-exemption rules are the property appraiser’s to apply. After the first year, Save Our Homes limits how fast a homestead’s assessed value can rise, and section 193.1554 caps non-homestead residential increases at 10 percent a year, but both caps reset on a change of ownership, so a buyer should never carry a seller’s tax bill forward.

A Lower Floor: What the County’s Own Value Implies

The county’s 2026 just value for Natura homes is a median of $401,891, well below the 12-month median sale price. On $401,891 the property tax is $5,152.93, and the monthly total with the master fee and stormwater fee is $525.24 without a homestead and $498.53 with one, taxed on $376,891. Use this as a floor, not a forecast: the year after a $486,250 purchase, the assessment moves toward the purchase price.

Special Assessments and What We Found

We found no special assessment on the Natura association, and the only recent master proposal, a $500 assessment tied to the second pool, failed 122 to 735 on July 16, 2026. Natura has no community development district, so there is no separate CDD bond payment on the tax bill, and the taxing district shows no special-district levy beyond those in the table. The rail-trail bond approved by Bonita Springs voters on August 18, 2026 adds a voted debt levy in a future year once the rate is set (WINK News, August 19, 2026), and the amount is not yet known.

Natura Documents, Bylaws and Architectural Control

The governing documents a Natura owner is bound by are the 1997 Bonita Fairways Master Declaration, its 2014, 2024 and 2026 recorded amendments, three recorded Natura plats and the Natura association’s own declaration, which we could not locate online, so a buyer must request it from the association or search the Lee County Clerk’s official records before closing.

Data updated: September 2026 (Lee County Clerk instruments and Bonita Fairways association documents, retrieved 29 Sep 2026).

Every instrument we found for Natura is in the table below, with its record reference and what it does. The recorded documents are the authority; this page is a guide to them.

Architectural Control Under the Master Declaration

Section 6.2 of the Master Declaration creates an architectural review committee of 3 to 7 persons, none of whom may serve as trustees, according to the recorded 2014 amendment. The declaration requires that committee’s approval for exterior changes, and Section 5.10 bars antennas and satellite dishes without approval, except those protected by the federal over-the-air reception rule. Section 5.13 requires roof installations such as solar collectors and vents to be screened.

What Needs Approval Before You Change the Outside

Under the master rules, expect to need approval for exterior paint and color changes, fences (limited to six feet), screened lanais, hurricane shutters, roof-mounted equipment, landscaping changes visible from the street and any sign, including a real estate sign. Natura’s own architectural rules are not posted, so Natura may add stricter standards, and the master declaration expressly allows neighborhood covenants to be stricter. Ask the association before you sign a contractor, not after.

What Is Not Posted

The Natura association’s declaration, articles, bylaws, rules and architectural guidelines are not on the master association’s site, and we could not reach the Clerk’s records viewer from our research session. We also could not find a Natura website. The state’s filing for the Natura association lists its registered office as a Naples management company, and the Clerk’s official records, searched by the recorded plat instrument, and a resale estoppel certificate are the routes to the documents.

How We Read a Natura Documents Package

For a Natura buyer we read the Natura declaration and any amendments first, then the association’s budget and minutes, then the master documents in the table. We look for leasing minimums and caps, pet limits, vehicle and parking rules, exterior approvals, buyer-approval or interview clauses, working-capital fees at resale, the turnover clause and any pending or budgeted assessment. Section 720.401, Florida Statutes requires that a prospective parcel owner be presented a disclosure summary before executing the contract for sale, and it is worth asking for it by name.

Is Natura Still Under Developer Control, and What Is Happening With Phase 3?

Yes: on July 16, 2026 the Bonita Fairways president told members that the Natura developer holds 329 votes, that Home Dynamics remains in control because turnover has not yet occurred, and that it has delegated its two seats on the board of trustees to Natura residents. Phase 3, 106 lots, sold on one deed on August 12, 2026 for $12,985,000.

Data updated: September 2026 (Bonita Fairways July 16, 2026 special meeting records and Lee County roll, retrieved 29 Sep 2026).

Developer control matters to a Natura buyer because the party that controls the association’s board writes the budget, sets the dues and decides when owners take over. The statements below come from the association’s own posted records, and where the record stops we say so.

Who Holds the Natura Votes

According to the July 16, 2026 opening remarks, the Natura developer had 329 votes: 199 for Phase 1, 24 for Phase 2 and 106 for Phase 3. The 106 Phase 3 lots were then listed on the county roll as owned by Home Dynamics, and the owners as a group held 857 votes in all. Natura’s 329 votes are 38.4 percent of 857, which is more than a third of the master association’s vote in the hands of one party.

What the Pool Vote Showed

On the same day members rejected a pool-loan expansion and a $500 special assessment, 122 for and 735 against of 857 votes, and the developer’s 329 Natura votes were counted as against (vote results). The vote shows that the Natura developer block and the other owners’ majority, 735 against with the developer’s 329 inside it, pointed the same way. It does not show how a future contested vote would split.

When Turnover Happens

No turnover date is published. The association’s materials tie turnover to the Phase 3 sell-out, and the 106 lots have now sold as land, not as homes, so the event that would trigger turnover has not clearly occurred. Illustratively, under the 90 percent measure in section 720.307, Florida Statutes, 297 of 329 lots would have to be owned by members other than the developer. On the 2026 roll about 215 of the 329 lots are homes owned by individual owners, 8 are held by the Home Dynamics entity and 106 by the Phase 3 buyer, so whether the default measure is met turns on whether that buyer counts as a developer, and the Natura documents may set a different trigger that we could not read.

What Happened to the Phase 3 Votes?

That is not published. The July 16 remarks counted Phase 3’s 106 votes as Natura developer votes while Home Dynamics owned the lots, and four weeks later Home Dynamics Bonita, LLC deeded the lots to TPG AG EHC III (LEN) Multi State 2, LLC, a Delaware company in care of an asset manager in Scottsdale, Arizona (Instrument 2026000214143). Whether the votes moved to that buyer depends on the terms of the deed and any assignment of declarant rights, and we have not found an assignment. A memorandum recorded with the deed (Instrument 2026000214144) gives Lennar Homes, LLC an option to buy the lots and the phase's tracts until November 20, 2029.

The Unit Count Does Not Match Across Documents

The association’s documents count Natura’s first two phases as 223 units in the 2026 annual meeting roster and 216 in the vote tallies (March 25, 2026 minutes), and the county roll shows 219 finished homes. The differences are small, but a buyer should not treat any of the three as exact.

What Is Happening With Phase 3

The Phase 3 plat of 106 lots on 13.10 acres was created on August 6, 2025, and on August 12, 2026 all 106 lots and 7 tracts, 113 parcels in all, were recorded on one deed for $12,985,000, or $122,500 a lot. The builder, product type, prices and opening date are not published in a record we read. Expect construction traffic on the streets around Phase 3 when work starts, and expect new-home competition for Natura resales once a builder announces prices. A 2023 association goal, a second exit to Pine Avenue “after Natura Phase III,” has no status we could find.

What Developer Control Means for a Buyer and for a Seller

For a buyer, ask for the Natura budget, the turnover clause, the current board makeup and any reserve study or transition report before you offer, because a developer-run board can set dues that change after turnover. For a seller, the same documents are what a buyer’s agent will ask for first, so have them ready at listing. Sellers can request a free Natura valuation or call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072, and buyers can call Marc at (239) 287-5873 or see how we represent buyers.

Is Natura a 55+ Community?

No. We found no age restriction in any recorded document we read for Natura, and the only Bonita Fairways neighborhood with a recorded over-55 declaration is Carousel Cove. Natura buyers of any age may purchase, subject to the association’s ordinary approvals, and the Natura declaration itself is the document to confirm.

Data updated: September 2026 (recorded Bonita Fairways instruments and Carousel Cove Declaration, retrieved 29 Sep 2026).

What the Record Shows

The Master Declaration and its recorded amendments contain no age restriction that applies to Natura, and the builder’s marketing and the 2014 plan describe Natura as patio homes for any buyer. Carousel Cove’s over-55 status is recorded separately in Instrument 2013000110712, which is why it appears nowhere in the Natura documents we read. Housing for older persons is defined in section 760.29, Florida Statutes, and a recorded declaration is where such a designation would appear.

What to Verify

A buyer who wants certainty should ask the association’s management company to confirm in writing that the Natura declaration has no age restriction. A seller can say in a listing that we found none, but not that none exists.

Can You Rent Out a Natura Home?

Yes, within the master rules: the Bonita Fairways Master Declaration bars leases shorter than 30 consecutive days, the association’s tenant access form states that Airbnb and VRBO rentals are not permitted, and pets are not allowed in leased homes. Natura’s own lease minimum, cap and tenant-approval rules are not published.

Data updated: September 2026 (Bonita Fairways Master Declaration and tenant access form, retrieved 29 Sep 2026).

The Master Lease Rules

Section 5.17 of the Master Declaration states that no living unit may be leased for a term of less than 30 consecutive days, and it allows neighborhood covenants to set stricter standards. The association’s tenant access permission form states that short-term rentals, VRBO and Airbnb are not permitted, so a Natura home is a long-term rental or a seasonal rental of 30 days or more.

What Natura May Add

Natura’s minimum term, the number of leases per year, tenant screening and any lease-approval fee are not published, because the Natura declaration is not posted. Because the master declaration allows stricter neighborhood rules, a Natura owner should not assume the master’s 30-day floor is Natura’s floor until the Natura declaration says so. Carousel Cove, by comparison, allows at most 4 leases a year and requires board approval.

Tenants and the Amenities

Since the April 2026 amendment, residential tenants who reside in the home may use the recreation facilities, and an owner who delegates use to a tenant may not use the common areas during the delegation except as another member’s guest. The pool, pickleball, tennis and bocce courts are reserved for owners, family, residential tenants and invited guests.

Renting Before You Sell

A Natura owner who is weighing a sale can rent under the same 30-day master rule, but a tenant in place narrows the buyer pool to investors and buyers who accept the lease, and pets are not allowed in leased homes under Section 5.18. For a seller, the trade-off is rent now against a cleaner, vacant listing later, and the county record shows how many Natura owners live in their homes: 114 of 219 claim homestead. Sellers can request a free Natura valuation to compare a sale with a rental, or call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

Buying to Rent

An investor buying a Natura resale pays the $2,500 contribution unless the seller is Home Dynamics or a listed affiliate, and should budget the Natura dues, which are not published, before projecting a return. Buyers can call Marc at (239) 287-5873 or see how we represent buyers to review the Natura lease rules before an offer.

What Are the Pet Rules in Natura?

Natura owners may keep ordinary household pets in reasonable number under Section 5.18 of the Bonita Fairways Master Declaration: cats, dogs, tropical fish and caged birds, on a leash outdoors and never on the golf course. Pets are not allowed in leased homes, and Natura’s own count, weight and breed limits are not published.

Data updated: September 2026 (Bonita Fairways Master Declaration and community rules, retrieved 29 Sep 2026).

What the Master Declaration Says

Section 5.18 allows “ordinary household pets (i.e., cats, dogs, tropical fish, and birds in cages) in reasonable number,” requires them to be leashed outdoors, bars them from the golf course at all times, and bars leaving them unattended or leashed in yards, garages, porches or lanais. It also bars commercial animal activity and describes keeping a pet as “a privilege, not a right.” The text is in the Master Declaration.

What Natura May Add

Natura’s count, weight, breed and registration rules, if any, are not published. “Reasonable number” is a master-level standard and is not a number, so a buyer with several animals or a large dog should get the Natura rules in writing before offering. For comparison, Carousel Cove allows up to 3 pets and no more than 2 dogs.

Pets and Rental Homes

Section 5.18 states that pets are not allowed in leased units, which makes Natura pet-friendly for owners and not for tenants. A landlord should not advertise a Natura rental as pet-friendly.

Pets on the Golf Course and Common Areas

Natura homes back onto the public golf course in places, and pets are not permitted on the course at any time. Walk pets on the streets and preserve edges on a leash, and expect the association to enforce the leash rule.

Hurricanes, Flood Zone and Insurance in Natura

Most Natura homes sit in a FEMA high-risk flood zone: on the current map, panel 12071C0656G effective November 17, 2022, 152 of 222 Natura home footprints are centered in a Spring Creek Zone AE area and 70 in shaded Zone X, so flood insurance and elevation records differ house by house, and every Natura address is in Evacuation Zone A.

Data updated: September 2026 (FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, USGS Hurricane Ian high-water marks and Lee County LiDAR, retrieved 29 Sep 2026).

We tested Natura’s home footprints against FEMA’s live flood map and compared the results with surveyed storm marks and county ground elevations. The findings below are the map’s, not a guarantee about any one house, and the only document that settles a house is its elevation certificate.

What the FEMA Map Shows for Natura

FEMA’s map places the Natura centroid in a riverine Zone AE polygon, and a southern interior point in shaded Zone X, a 0.2 percent annual chance flood hazard. Zone AE is a high-risk area that requires flood insurance on a federally backed mortgage, and shaded Zone X is a moderate-risk area where insurance is optional but sensible. Because the split runs through the neighborhood, two homes on the same street can have different requirements.

Spring Creek AE and No Single Base Flood Elevation

The Natura AE area is a riverine zone along Spring Creek with no static base flood elevation, so we do not publish one. FEMA’s nearby study cross-sections carry 1 percent annual chance water levels of 10.3, 11.1 and 13.0 feet NAVD88, and the median ground at Natura building sites is 11.12 feet from the county’s 2018 survey, which predates much of Natura and has a stated accuracy of about half a foot. Ground is not finished-floor elevation, which is recorded on each home’s elevation certificate.

Letters of Map Change in Natura

FEMA’s records show four letters of map amendment or revision for Natura lots between February 2024 and August 2026: one dated February 20, 2024, one denied on July 18, 2025, one dated August 22, 2025 and one dated August 28, 2026. Three removed the structure from the flood zone and one was denied. A letter applies to one structure, and it is why a buyer should ask a seller for the letter, not assume the map.

Hurricanes Ian and Irma

Hurricane Ian’s surge marks near Bonita Fairways measured 8.7 to 9.0 feet NAVD88, below the median Natura ground of 11.12 feet (USGS Hurricane Ian high-water marks). We found no report naming Natura as flooded in Ian, and we do not claim that no Natura home took water: the records that would show damage, city and insurer files, are not public. Irma in 2017 was a river flood in Bonita Springs, and the Imperial River gauge set a record crest of 15.32 feet on September 12, 2017 (NOAA National Water Prediction Service). Most Natura homes were built after Irma in 2017, and 57 were built in 2023 or later, after Ian.

Evacuation Zone A and Storm Surge

Every Natura address is in Lee County Evacuation Zone A, the first zone ordered to leave (Lee County Emergency Management). The National Hurricane Center’s worst-case surge maps show more than 3 feet of water above ground across Bonita Fairways in a Category 2 hurricane and more than 9 feet in a Category 4 (NOAA National Storm Surge Risk Maps). Those maps are planning tools, not forecasts, and they are the reason to leave early when Zone A is called.

Flood Insurance for Natura Homes

The City of Bonita Springs participates in FEMA’s Community Rating System, and the City and FEMA’s April 2025 list record Class 5, a 25 percent discount on National Flood Insurance Program premiums (City of Bonita Springs, FEMA Community Rating System). Check the April 2026 list before relying on the exact figure. For a Natura AE home we ask for the elevation certificate and any FEMA letter before a buyer offers, and we get a flood quote before the offer, not after. Citizens Property Insurance does not write flood policies, but it requires its homeowners policyholders with wind coverage to carry flood insurance: in the high-risk zone now, and outside it on a schedule by dwelling value that reaches every policy on January 1, 2027.

Homeowners Insurance, Roofs and Wind Mitigation

Insurance cost depends on flood zone, roof age and wind-mitigation features, and Natura’s advantage is age: every Natura roof is 10 years old or less if unreplaced, well short of the ages at which insurers start to ask questions. Florida requires insurers to offer discounts for documented wind-resistant features, recorded on the Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection Form, which records roof covering, roof deck attachment, roof-to-wall connections, roof shape, secondary water resistance and opening protection. The builder does not state whether Natura windows are impact rated, so a buyer should order the form on the specific home.

Flood Disclosure When You Sell

Section 689.302, Florida Statutes requires a seller of residential property to give the buyer a flood disclosure at or before the contract, stating whether the seller knows of flood damage during ownership, has filed a flood insurance claim or has received federal flood assistance. A Zone X designation does not remove that duty. Selling a Natura home in the AE area? We pull the elevation certificate and any FEMA letter before listing, so request a free Natura valuation or call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072, and buyers can call Marc at (239) 287-5873 or see how we represent buyers.

Which Schools Serve Natura?

Every Natura address falls in the School District of Lee County’s South Zone 3, with elementary Zone Q, middle Zone GG and high school South Zone 3, and Lee County does not assign one school by address: families rank schools on a choice application each winter and the zone mainly determines which schools have bus transportation.

Data updated: September 2026 (School District of Lee County 2026-27 school locator and Florida Department of Education 2025-26 school grades, retrieved 24 Sep 2026).

The district’s locator returned the same zones for ten test points across Bonita Fairways, so the result applies to Natura, and the district’s Student Enrollment office at (239) 337-8247 confirms zones by address (School District of Lee County, School Zones). Do not rely on the school fields in a listing, which are often ZIP-level.

Grades are from the Florida Department of Education school grades for 2025-26; drive times are approximate free-flow times from the Bonita Fairways golf club.

Charter and Private Options

Two public charter schools in Bonita Springs take applications from any Lee County family: Bonita Springs Charter School, graded A in 2026, and Oak Creek Charter School, graded C. Private options within about half an hour include Community School of Naples, St. John Neumann Catholic High School and Seacrest Country Day School in Naples, and Canterbury School in Fort Myers. Florida Gulf Coast University is about 23 minutes away.

City Permits for Natura Homes

Natura sits inside the City of Bonita Springs, so building permits for roofs, windows, air conditioners, pools and additions are issued by the city, and the county’s year-built record shows Natura was built in ten consecutive years, from 11 homes in 2016 to a peak of 78 in 2022 and 2 in 2025. Permit history by address is on the city’s online portal.

Data updated: September 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser year-built field and City of Bonita Springs permit portal, retrieved 29 Sep 2026).

We did not retrieve Natura’s permit-level records for this page, so we publish no roof, window or air-conditioner permit counts. What the public record does give is the year each home was built, which tells you which building code applied, and the route to the city’s permit files.

The Year-Built Record

The county’s year-built field sorts Natura’s 219 finished homes into these cohorts, phases combined.

Which Building Code Applied

Natura homes were built under the Florida Building Code edition in force at the permit date, which for Natura’s 2016 to 2025 homes runs from the 2014 edition through the 2023 edition. The first statewide code took effect on March 1, 2002, so every Natura home is newer than the modern wind and flood provisions (Florida Building Commission milestones). Condominium milestone-inspection and reserve-study laws do not apply to Natura, because Natura is a subdivision of detached homes and not a condominium building.

What the City’s Permit File Would Show

For a specific Natura address, the city’s permit file shows re-roofs and their dates, window and door replacements, air-conditioner changeouts, pool and screen-enclosure permits, and any open or expired permit. It also holds the elevation certificate for a home built in a flood zone. None of those records is on the county roll, and none of them is in our data.

How to Search the City’s Permit Portal

The City of Bonita Springs runs its permit search on the EnerGov self-service portal, where a permit can be searched by address. For a seller, an unpulled permit shows up at the buyer’s inspection, and for a buyer, an open permit is the seller’s problem before closing and yours afterward.

Open Permits and Your Sale

About three Natura homes in four, 162 of 219, were built in 2022 or earlier, so any of them may have had window, air-conditioner, screen-enclosure or roof work since. If you are selling, pull the permit history before you list; if you are buying, ask for it. We do both for our clients: sellers can request a free Natura valuation or call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072, and buyers can call Marc at (239) 287-5873 or see how we represent buyers.

What Is Around Natura? Zoning and Neighbors

Natura is zoned Residential Planned Development inside the Bonita Fairways master plan, which covers about 184 acres and allows up to 1,105 homes, and its neighbors are the public golf course, the Botanika and Carousel Cove neighborhoods, Highland Woods directly west, West Terry Street to the south and the Old 41 downtown about four minutes away.

Data updated: September 2026 (Lee County planned development records and City of Bonita Springs project pages, retrieved 29 Sep 2026).

Natura’s parcels are zoned RPD on 351 of 354 county records and PUD on the other three, and the community master plan, Lee County case DCI2004-00081, sets the density and building limits (Lee County zoning case DCI2004-00081).

What the Master Plan Allows

The master concept plan allows up to 1,105 homes across about 184 acres, with 50 acres of golf course, 18 acres of lakes, 18.5 acres of indigenous preserve and 47 percent open space (Bonita Fairways master concept plan). Multifamily buildings may rise to four stories and 48 feet, single-family homes to 25 feet, and the street network is closed and gated. Natura’s 329 lots are a fraction of the 1,105-home cap.

Who Lives Next Door

Natura wraps the golf course, so its neighbors on the inside are other Bonita Fairways neighborhoods: Botanika, condominiums of three residential floors over parking finished in 2024, and Carousel Cove, the community’s 55+ single-family neighborhood. Highland Woods, a bundled equity golf community of 799 homes, sits directly west of Bonita Fairways.

What Is Being Built Nearby

The largest changes are close by. Natura’s own Phase 3 sold on August 12, 2026, so construction traffic is likely. Bonita Springs voters approved a $35 million bond for the Bonita Estero Rail Trail on August 18, 2026 with 68 percent of the vote, and the corridor runs within 100 feet of about 2,760 feet of the community’s northeast boundary. The city awarded a $17,823,584 stormwater and pathway contract on East Terry Street in April 2026 (City of Bonita Springs, East Terry Street contract), and Imperial 41, a 120-apartment project on Old 41, broke ground in December 2025 with completion targeted for 2027 (Gulfshore Business, December 11, 2025).

Terry Street and the Way Out

Every route out of Bonita Fairways leaves by Bonita Fairways Boulevard onto West Terry Street, then west to U.S. 41 or east to Old 41 and Imperial Parkway, and a 12-foot shared-use path and buffered bike lane were completed on the north side of West Terry in 2022. A second exit to Pine Avenue was named as a goal “after Natura Phase III” in 2023, and its status is not published.

Daily Logistics in Natura

Natura’s daily routine runs through the Bonita Fairways gate on West Terry Street, which residents open with a windshield-mounted radio-frequency sticker, with visitors announced by call box, sheriff patrols budgeted at $18,000 for 2026, a 25 mph limit on internal streets, and about four minutes to the nearest Publix and the Old 41 downtown.

Data updated: September 2026 (Bonita Fairways gate instructions and 2026 master budget, retrieved 29 Sep 2026).

The details below come from the association’s own gate instructions, rules and budget, with drive times from OpenStreetMap routing.

How the Gate Works

The gate on West Terry Street is unmanned, and residents enter with a radio-frequency sticker on the passenger-side headlight. Additional vehicles for single-family homes cost $30 each, and visitors use the call box to reach the resident, who opens the gate from a phone (tele-entry owner instructions). License-plate cameras shared with the Lee County Sheriff back up the gate, and the 2026 budget sets $18,000 for paid sheriff patrols.

Utilities and Trash

Florida Power and Light provides electricity, and Bonita Springs Utilities, a member-owned nonprofit cooperative founded in 1970, provides water and sewer. Waste Management collects trash under the city contract, and the Bonita Springs Fire Control and Rescue District provides fire service. Mail delivery and cluster-box details for Natura are not published in a document we found.

Parking, Vehicles and Guests

Under Section 5.15 of the Master Declaration, commercial vehicles, boats, trailers, campers, motor homes and inoperable vehicles must be kept fully enclosed, and parking on lawns is barred. The 2026 guest amendment limits how many guests an owner may bring to the pool and courts. Natura’s own parking and guest-parking rules are not published.

Drive Times From Natura

From the Bonita Fairways golf club, the Old 41 downtown and the nearest Publix are about 4 minutes away, Interstate 75 about 9, Bonita Beach Park about 11, Mercato in North Naples about 15, and Southwest Florida International Airport and downtown Naples about 30, in free-flowing traffic. Season traffic from December to April can add 20 to 50 percent. NCH North Hospital in North Naples is about 15 minutes away, and Gulf Coast Medical Center, a Level II trauma center in Fort Myers, about 26 (NCH North Hospital, Lee Health, Gulf Coast Medical Center).

How Does Natura Compare With the Other Bonita Fairways Neighborhoods?

Natura is the largest, with 329 platted lots, and the highest-priced of the six Bonita Fairways neighborhoods on the county record: its 12-month county median of $486,250 on 10 sales is above Botanika’s $399,420 (55 sales, 24 months) and the other four neighborhoods’ $312,500 to $360,000.

Data updated: September 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser recorded sales and Southwest Florida MLS, retrieved 29 Sep 2026).

Each neighborhood is measured on the same yardstick: the county’s qualified recorded sales in the first window that reaches 10 sales, with the window and count named beside every median. Windows differ because the smaller neighborhoods have too few sales to use 12 months, so read across the columns with the window in mind.

The community-wide picture is on the Bonita Fairways community page. The MLS adds days on market and sale-to-list for the same 12 months, and the counts are small because most builder and condominium closings are not MLS-recorded here.

Natura stands apart on three counts: it is the only single-family neighborhood in Bonita Fairways built mostly since 2020, the only one whose association is on record as still under developer control, and the only one with 106 recently sold vacant lots. Comparing a Natura home with a 1990s manufactured home or a 2005 condominium tells you what a building costs, not what a neighborhood is worth, so we compare Natura with Natura first. Sellers can request a free Natura valuation or call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072, and buyers can call Marc at (239) 287-5873 or see how we represent buyers.

Natura vs Carousel Cove: Which Should You Choose?

Choose Natura if you want a newer single-family home with no age restriction, at a county median of $486,250, and choose Carousel Cove if at least one buyer is 55 or older and you want a lower entry price, near $360,000, in a smaller, older single-story neighborhood where the board approves every sale.

Data updated: September 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser recorded sales and Southwest Florida MLS, retrieved 29 Sep 2026).

Carousel Cove is the only other Bonita Fairways neighborhood of single-family homes, which is why buyers compare it with Natura, and the two are more different than they look.

Who Should Choose Natura

Choose Natura if no buyer is 55 or older or you want a neighborhood with no recorded age restriction, if you want a home built to the 2014 to 2023 Florida Building Codes with an attached garage, if you can budget the master fee plus an unpublished Natura fee, and if you are comfortable with a developer-run association and a Phase 3 build-out next door. Natura’s buyer page walks through what to ask.

Who Should Choose Carousel Cove

Choose Carousel Cove if at least one buyer is 55 or older, if a lower price matters more than a newer building, if you are comfortable with a board that approves every buyer, and if you would rather have a mostly Zone X neighborhood with no developer control of its association found in our research. Carousel Cove homes are older, and 65 of them predate the 2002 Florida Building Code.

Which Is Easier to Sell?

Carousel Cove’s 13-day MLS median rests on only 3 sales, and Natura’s 127 days rests on 8, so neither number is a forecast. A Natura seller competes with the builder and a wider buyer pool of all ages, and a Carousel Cove seller needs a 55-plus buyer and board approval.

How Natura Compares With Other Bonita Springs Communities

Natura competes with newer single-family communities on the east side of Interstate 75, and its closest Bonita Springs golf-community comparisons are Spanish Wells, Highland Woods, Worthington, Hunters Ridge and Grand Pines, which differ from Natura mainly in how they charge for golf, what they charge at resale and how large they are.

Data updated: September 2026 (our neighborhood guides and recorded sales, windows named in the table, retrieved 29 Sep 2026).

The figures in the table come from our own guides to each community, each with its own window and source, so treat them as orders of magnitude and not a precise ranking.

Natura Against a Golf-Membership Community

Highland Woods bundles an equity golf membership into every home, and Hunters Ridge requires a social membership of $4,775 a year. Natura requires neither: its owners own a public course with 10 percent off green fees, so a Natura owner who never plays pays nothing for golf. The trade is that Natura’s association fee is not published and its association is developer-controlled.

Natura Against Condominium Alternatives

Grand Pines is a condominium with a $2,076 quarterly fee and a $365,000 median on 17 resales. Bonita Fairways’ own neighborhoods sit at $312,500 to $399,420 on the county record, so a Natura buyer pays about $87,000 to $174,000 more at the median for a detached lot, a garage and no shared roof. Whether that premium is worth it depends on the buyer, not on a rule.

Natura Against Spanish Wells

Spanish Wells is far larger, with 1,361 owners on 591 acres, a 27-hole club owned by its homeowners and a $623,750 MLS median across all property types. Natura is smaller and lower at the median, though the two medians come from different sources, and Spanish Wells offers a 27-hole club and a wider range of single-family homes. Buyers touring both should compare the fee stack line by line. Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 to tour side by side, or see how we represent buyers.

Honest Pros and Cons of Owning in Natura

Owning in Natura means a newer detached home at a price below the Spanish Wells and Highland Woods medians, with a garage and no golf membership, set against an unpublished association fee, a developer-run board, a high-risk flood zone for most homes and a 106-lot Phase 3 next door. Whether that mix works depends on the buyer.

The Advantages

• Newer construction: every Natura home was built from 2016 to 2025 under the 2014 to 2023 Florida Building Codes, so roofs are 1 to 10 years old if unreplaced.
• A detached lot: 219 finished homes are fee-simple single-family parcels with attached garages, not condominium units.
• A lower price than the nearby golf-membership communities: $486,250 on the county record (12 months, 10 sales), against a $695,000 Highland Woods house resale median (7 sales, county record, 12 months to September 1, 2026) and a $623,750 Spanish Wells MLS median.
• No golf membership required: a public course with 10 percent off for owners and a $550 to $950 summer card, so you pay only if you play.
• No CDD: the 2026 tax bill for Natura carries 12.8217 mills and no special-district bond.
• An all-ages neighborhood: no age restriction was found, and 114 of 219 homes claim a homestead exemption.
• A location with a 4-minute drive to Old 41 and 9 minutes to Interstate 75.

The Trade-Offs

• An unpublished association fee: the Natura dues, what they pay for and any working-capital fee are not published, and the only route is an estoppel certificate.
• A developer-run association: the developer holds 329 of 857 votes, or 38.4 percent, and turnover has no published date.
• A $2,500 resale contribution: a buyer from an individual owner pays it, first-time buyer or not, and whether Phase 3 buyers are exempt is not published.
• A high-risk flood zone for most homes: 152 of 222 footprints are centered in Zone AE, and only an elevation certificate settles a house.
• A build-out next door: 106 Phase 3 lots sold on August 12, 2026, and construction traffic and new-home competition are likely.
• A slow median resale: 127 days on market in the MLS for the last 12 months on 8 closings, against 13 days at Carousel Cove on 3.
• A small resale sample: only 7 resales in the county’s last 12 months, at a $440,000 median, so a price rests on few comparables.
• No Natura-specific rules posted: leasing, pets and architectural rules for Natura are not published online.

McGreevy and Comisar price, prepare and market Natura homes from that record, not from a Bonita Fairways average.

Recent Natura Sold Record

In the last 12 months Natura has seen 10 qualified sales in the Lee County record: 7 resales at a median of $440,000 and 3 first sales of builder-owned homes at $550,000 to $579,990, for $4,777,490 in recorded volume. The Southwest Florida MLS shows 8 closings in the same window at a median of $435,000, 127 days on market and a 97.2 percent sale-to-list ratio. In the last 12 months we tracked every qualified Natura deed, and we will walk you through each one.

What Makes Selling in Natura Different

Three things. First, a Natura seller competes with a builder, so a resale is priced against the 7 owner-to-owner sales and against the builder’s undated list of $449,990 to $519,990, and buyers will compare both. Second, the $2,500 resale contribution, the Natura association’s unpublished dues and the developer-held votes are the first questions a Natura buyer’s agent asks, so a seller with the estoppel certificate and the Natura budget in hand at the first showing sells with less friction. Third, 152 of 222 Natura footprints are centered in Zone AE, so the elevation certificate and any FEMA letter belong in the listing, and 106 Phase 3 lots are likely to add new-home supply.

Buying rather than selling? Call Marc at (239) 287-5873, or read how we represent buyers in Bonita Springs.

How should I price my Natura home when the builder is still selling?

Price it from the 7 resales in the last 12 months ($380,000 to $530,000, median $440,000) and the 15 resales over 24 months ($380,000 to $560,000, median $480,000), matched to your size and year built, then check the result against the builder’s undated $449,990 to $519,990 list. A resale competes with new construction on price per square foot and on the fee stack, so a home priced above the builder’s list needs a reason a buyer can see.

Will Phase 3 affect my resale price?

Possibly, but the record cannot size it yet. All 106 Phase 3 lots sold on August 12, 2026 for $12,985,000, and no product or price is published, so new-home competition for Natura resales is likely and unmeasured. Construction traffic will also be a showing consideration. Price to today’s 10 recorded sales and revisit when a builder announces.

Does my buyer pay the $2,500 transfer fee?

Yes, unless an exemption applies: the recorded amendment makes the buyer pay it, and the exemptions are a spouse or co-owner, heirs, an estate-planning trust, a foreclosure, an owner who sells one Bonita Fairways home and buys another within a year, and a buyer purchasing from Home Dynamics or a named affiliate. A first-time buyer buying from you pays it, and a listing agent must disclose it, per the association’s notice.

Does the Natura association have to approve my buyer?

We found no buyer-approval clause in the master documents we read, and the Natura declaration is not posted, so we cannot say the Natura documents have none. Ask the association’s management company and your title company to confirm in writing before you list, and ask for the estoppel certificate at the same time.

What documents will a Natura buyer ask for first?

The Natura estoppel certificate showing the regular assessment and any special assessment, the Natura budget, the master association’s 2026 budget, the recorded master amendments, the home’s elevation certificate or FEMA letter if it is in Zone AE, its wind-mitigation report and its permit history. Having them at listing shortens a buyer’s review and protects your price.

Does my flood zone change what a buyer will pay?

It changes what a buyer will insure, and that changes the monthly cost and sometimes the price. A buyer of a Zone AE home with a federally backed mortgage must carry flood insurance, and a buyer of a Zone X home usually still gets a quote. We put the zone, the elevation certificate and any FEMA letter in the listing before the first showing.

Frequently Asked Questions, Buyer Edition

What is Natura at Bonita Fairways?

Natura at Bonita Fairways is a 329-lot neighborhood of single-family patio homes and villas inside the gated Bonita Fairways golf community in Bonita Springs, platted in three phases: 199 patio-home lots in 2016, 24 villa lots in 2020 and 106 lots in 2025. The 2026 county roll shows 219 finished homes, 4 vacant Phase 1 lots and the 106 Phase 3 lots.

Who built Natura?

Home Dynamics built the Natura patio homes and villas, and it still owns 4 finished homes and 4 vacant Phase 1 lots on the county roll. The Phase 3 lots sold on August 12, 2026 to TPG AG EHC III (LEN) Multi State 2, LLC, and a memorandum recorded with the deed (Instrument 2026000214144) gives Lennar Homes, LLC an option to buy them until November 20, 2029.

How many homes are in Natura?

The county roll shows 219 finished homes: 195 Phase 1 patio homes and 24 Phase 2 villas. The plats create 329 lots in all, and the association’s own documents count Natura’s first two phases as 223 units in the roster and 216 in the vote tallies, so no single count is exact.

Is Natura gated?

Yes, through the Bonita Fairways gate, and we found no separate Natura gate. The gate on West Terry Street is unmanned, residents enter with a radio-frequency sticker, visitors use the call box, and the association budgeted $18,000 for sheriff patrols in 2026, according to its budget and tele-entry instructions.

What is the difference between Natura and The Patios of Natura?

Natura is the neighborhood and the plats’ name for all three phases; The Patios of Natura at Bonita Fairways and The Villas of Natura are the builder’s marketing names for the patio homes and villas. The plats call them Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 3, and the builder’s own map labels do not match the plat phases, so we use the plat names.

What is a patio home in Natura?

A Natura patio home is a detached, fee-simple single-family home on its own lot with an attached garage. The 2014 press description said the homes would be “connected by breezeways or arches” and sold fee simple, and the county codes every Natura home as a single-family residence on its own parcel, not as a condominium unit.

What is the difference between a Natura patio home and a villa?

Natura’s 195 patio homes are 1,309 to 2,766 heated square feet, mostly three-bedroom and 157 of 193 two-story, while its 24 villas are all one-story, two-bedroom, two-bath and 1,676 to 1,707 square feet. Villas sit on larger lots, median 4,726 square feet against 3,300 for patio homes, and the county’s median just value is $361,031 for villas and $401,891 for patio homes.

Is Natura new construction or resale?

Both. In the 12 months to September 29, 2026 the county recorded 3 first sales of builder-owned homes and 7 resales, the builder still owns 4 finished homes, and the 106 Phase 3 lots have no homes yet. Buying from the builder and buying from an owner differ on the $2,500 contribution and on price.

How much do Natura homes cost?

The county’s median for the 12 months to September 29, 2026 is $486,250 on 10 sales, the mean of $472,500 and $500,000, with a range of $380,000 to $579,990. The 7 resales had a median of $440,000, the 3 first sales $550,000 to $579,990, and the builder’s own undated list runs from $449,990 to $519,990.

What are the HOA fees in Natura?

The master assessment is $1,100 for 2026, billed as two $550 payments, and the Natura association’s own dues are not published in any document we could reach. A resale estoppel certificate or the approved Natura budget shows the number. There is no CDD, and a buyer from an individual owner also pays the one-time $2,500 resale contribution.

What does the Natura HOA fee pay for?

That is not published. The master fee pays for the gate, sheriff patrol, clubhouse and pool, common landscaping, insurance and reserves, according to the 2026 master budget, but Natura’s own dues, and whether they pay for lawn care or irrigation, appear in no document we found. Ask for the Natura budget and estoppel certificate before you offer.

Is there a transfer fee when I buy in Natura?

Yes: $2,500, due from the buyer to the master association, recorded March 12, 2024 as Instrument 2024000069667. It is not due when the buyer purchases from Home Dynamics or a named affiliate, or in the other recorded exemptions such as a transfer to a spouse, heirs or a foreclosure.

Am I exempt from the $2,500 as a first-time buyer?

No, not by being a first-time home buyer. The association’s notice says “Natura 1st time buyers,” but the recorded amendment exempts the first purchase from the builder, not a first-time home buyer, so a first-time buyer purchasing from an individual owner pays the $2,500.

Do I have to join the golf club to buy in Natura?

No. The Bonita Fairways course is owned by the homeowners and open to the public, with green fees of $30 to $45, 10 percent off for owners and an optional summer card of $550 single, $750 couple or $950 family from May 1 to September 30. No membership is required to own in Natura.

Is Natura a 55+ community?

No. We found no age restriction in any recorded Natura or master document we read. The only Bonita Fairways neighborhood with a recorded over-55 declaration is Carousel Cove, and the Natura declaration itself is the document to confirm in writing.

Can I rent out a Natura home?

Yes, for terms of 30 consecutive days or more under the master declaration, and the association states that Airbnb and VRBO rentals are not permitted. Natura’s own minimum term, lease cap and tenant approval rules are not published, so confirm them in the Natura declaration before you buy to rent.

Are pets allowed in Natura?

Yes, for owners: ordinary household pets in reasonable number, on a leash outdoors and never on the golf course, under Section 5.18 of the master declaration. Pets are not allowed in leased homes, and Natura’s own count, weight and breed limits are not published.

Is Natura in a flood zone?

Mostly, yes: on FEMA panel 12071C0656G, 152 of 222 Natura home footprints are centered in Spring Creek Zone AE and 70 in shaded Zone X. Because the zone changes house by house, check the specific address and ask for the elevation certificate and any FEMA letter of map change.

Do I need flood insurance in Natura?

If the home is in Zone AE and you use a federally backed mortgage, yes, your lender will require it. In Zone X it is optional but sensible, and Bonita Springs’ Community Rating System Class 5 gives a 25 percent discount on federal flood premiums per FEMA’s April 2025 list. Get a quote before you offer.

Did Natura flood in Hurricane Ian?

We found no report naming Natura as flooded in Ian, and we cannot say no home took water, because the records that would show it are not public. Surveyed Ian high-water marks near Bonita Fairways were 8.7 to 9.0 feet, below the median Natura ground of 11.12 feet.

How old are Natura roofs?

One to 10 years if none has been replaced, because Natura homes were built from 2016 to 2025 and the builder specifies flat concrete tile roofing. Re-roof permits by address are on the City of Bonita Springs permit portal, and we found no Natura re-roof count to report.

Are there single-story homes in Natura?

Yes, 60 of 217 rated homes, or 28 percent: all 24 villas and 36 of the 193 patio homes rated for stories. The rest are two-story, so a buyer who needs one floor should filter for the villas or the 1,309-square-foot patio plan.

Does Natura have a pool or clubhouse?

Natura has no pool or clubhouse of its own. Natura owners use the Bonita Fairways master clubhouse of about 18,800 gross square feet, its one pool and spa, four pickleball courts, one lighted tennis court, bocce and shuffleboard. A second master pool was not funded on July 16, 2026.

What schools serve Natura?

Natura is in Lee County’s South Zone 3, with elementary Zone Q, middle Zone GG and high school South Zone 3. Families rank schools on a choice application, and the 2025-26 state grades include Bonita Springs Middle Center for the Arts at B, Bonita Springs High at B and Pinewoods Elementary at A.

How far is Natura from the beach and the airport?

From the Bonita Fairways golf club, Bonita Beach Park is about 11 minutes, Interstate 75 about 9 minutes and Southwest Florida International Airport about 30 minutes in free-flowing traffic. Downtown Naples is about 29 minutes, and season traffic from December to April can add 20 to 50 percent.

What are property taxes in Natura?

The 2026 proposed millage for Natura’s taxing district is 12.8217 mills, so a home taxed at $486,250 owes about $6,234.55 without a homestead exemption and $5,914.01 with one, before the master fee and the stormwater fee. There is no CDD, and a purchase resets the assessed value.

Is Natura still under developer control?

Yes. On July 16, 2026 the master association reported that the Natura developer holds 329 votes and that turnover has not occurred. No turnover date is published, and whether Phase 3’s 106 votes moved to the Phase 3 buyer after the August 12, 2026 sale is not published.

What is happening with Natura Phase 3?

The 106 Phase 3 lots on 13.10 acres sold on one deed on August 12, 2026 for $12,985,000, or $122,500 a lot. No product, price or opening date is published in a record we read, and construction traffic and new-home competition are likely once work starts.

Who manages the Natura association?

The state filing for Natura at Bonita Fairways Homeowners Association, Inc. lists a Naples management company, Seacrest Southwest, as its registered agent, with the association’s mailing address in care of that company. The association’s own website was not found, so ask the company for the documents.

Can I buy in Natura with a mortgage?

We read nothing that bars financing, and Natura homes are detached single-family homes on their own parcels. A lender will require flood insurance on a federally backed mortgage for a home in Zone AE, and will want the association’s estoppel certificate, so start the flood quote and the estoppel request with the offer.

How does Natura compare with Botanika?

Botanika is a 75-unit condominium in three buildings of three residential floors over parking, finished in 2024, with a county median of $399,420 on 55 sales over 24 months, while Natura is detached single-family homes at $486,250 on 10 sales over 12 months. Natura has its own lot and garage, and Botanika is a unit in a shared building.

Frequently Asked Questions, Seller Edition

How much can I sell my Natura home for?

It depends on phase, size, year built and condition, and the record gives ranges: in the 12 months to September 29, 2026 the county recorded 7 Natura resales from $380,000 to $530,000 at a median of $440,000, and 3 first sales of builder-owned homes from $550,000 to $579,990. Over 24 months the 15 resales ran $380,000 to $560,000, median $480,000.

What is my Natura home worth?

Start from the recorded sales of your own size cluster and year built, adjusted for lot, view and condition, then check the result against the MLS. A free Natura home valuation applies that method to your address, or call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

How long does it take to sell a home in Natura?

The Southwest Florida MLS shows a median of 127 days on market for 8 Natura closings in the 12 months to September 29, 2026, 144 days on 17 closings over 24 months, 112 days on 27 over 36 months and 86 days on 48 over 60 months. A single slow sale moves a median of 8, so read these as history and not a forecast.

Is now a good time to sell a home in Natura?

The record supports pricing carefully more than rushing. One Natura home was active at $519,900 and none pending on September 29, 2026, MLS closings ran at a median of 97.2 percent of final list price in the last 12 months, and 106 Phase 3 lots sold in August 2026 with no product or price announced. Whether that is a good moment depends on your timeline and price.

Are Natura home values going up or down in 2026?

The record is too thin to call a trend. Resale medians were $526,750 to $530,000 from 2022 to 2024, $489,950 in 2025 on 10 resales, and $456,250 in the 2026 sample of 4 resales through June 9. Four sales cannot carry a trend, and the county file is missing the last 3.5 months of recordings.

What do buyers look for in a Natura resale?

Buyers of Natura resales ask about the flood zone and elevation certificate, roof and window age, the Natura dues and the $2,500 contribution, single-story versus two-story, and how the home compares with the builder’s price list. Size clusters matter, because a 2,002-square-foot home is compared with the 37 homes of 2,002 to 2,004 square feet.

Do I need association approval or have to give notice before I sell in Natura?

We found no buyer-approval clause in the master documents we read, and the Natura declaration is not posted, so we cannot rule one out. Ask the Natura association’s management company and your title agent to confirm in writing, and request the estoppel certificate when you list.

Is there a transfer fee when a Natura home sells, and who pays it?

Yes: $2,500, due from the buyer to the master association under the amendment recorded March 12, 2024 as Instrument 2024000069667. A buyer purchasing from Home Dynamics or a named affiliate is exempt, and so are transfers to a spouse, heirs, a trust and foreclosures. Your listing should disclose it, as the association’s notice requires.

What documents does a buyer receive when I sell a Natura home?

A Natura buyer should receive the association’s estoppel certificate under section 720.30851, Florida Statutes, the governing documents and rules, the current budget, and your flood disclosure under section 689.302. We assemble the package at listing so the first showing does not stall on paperwork.

Do I have to be current on HOA dues to sell?

Practically, yes: the estoppel certificate shows any balance, and the recorded amendment states that the $2,500 contribution is secured by a lien collectible like assessments. Your title agent will require any amount owed to be paid at closing, so ask for the estoppel early and pay any balance before the buyer sees it.

Do I have to disclose flood history when I sell in Natura?

Yes. Section 689.302, Florida Statutes, requires a residential seller to disclose at or before the contract whether the seller knows of flood damage, has filed a flood insurance claim or has received federal flood assistance. A Zone X designation does not remove the duty, and 152 of 222 Natura footprints are centered in Zone AE.

How does the builder’s new inventory affect my resale price in Natura?

It sets the ceiling a buyer will compare against. The builder lists patio models from $449,990 to $519,990 on an undated page, still owns 4 finished homes and 4 vacant Phase 1 lots, and sold 3 homes in the last 12 months at $550,000 to $579,990. A resale priced above those needs a reason a buyer can see.

Should I sell my Natura home or rent it out?

The master rules allow leases of 30 consecutive days or more, prohibit Airbnb and VRBO, and bar pets in leased homes, and Natura’s own lease rules are not published. Renting keeps ownership but adds a landlord’s costs, the Natura dues and the risk of a market with 106 new lots coming. We can compare both with your numbers.

Can I rent my Natura home before I sell?

Yes, within the 30-day master minimum and any Natura rules. A tenant in place narrows the buyer pool to investors and buyers who accept the lease, pets are barred in leased homes, and a tenant delegated recreation rights displaces your own use of the amenities during the lease.

What repairs and updates should I do before listing a Natura home?

Fix what an inspection will find, pull your permit history, order a wind-mitigation report, and have the elevation certificate ready if you are in Zone AE. Homes built in 2016 to 2018 are the oldest in Natura, so check windows, air-conditioner and paint first. Get architectural approval before any exterior change.

Will buyers ask for roof age, a wind-mitigation report and a four-point inspection on a Natura home?

Expect a roof date and a wind-mitigation report, because insurers price on them. Natura roofs are 1 to 10 years old if unreplaced, an advantage in a Florida market, and the state’s Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection Form records roof covering, deck attachment and opening protection. A four-point inspection is more often requested on older homes.

Does a Bonita Fairways golf membership transfer when I sell my Natura home?

No membership is required to own in Natura, so there is nothing that must transfer. Owners receive 10 percent off green fees, and the summer player card of $550, $750 or $950 is an optional purchase for May 1 to September 30, so ask the golf club whether a card passes to a buyer.

What are seller closing costs on a Natura home at the median price?

At $486,250, Florida documentary stamp tax on the deed at $0.70 per $100 is about $3,404, and an owner’s title policy at the state-promulgated rate is roughly $2,510, which Lee County custom assigns to the seller. Both are estimates, before commission, mortgage payoff, prorated taxes and estoppel fees, and the contract controls who pays.

What is the Florida documentary stamp tax on a home sale, and who pays it?

It is $0.70 per $100 of consideration, rounded up, on the deed (Florida Department of Revenue). On $486,250 that is 4,863 units times $0.70, or $3,404.10. Custom in Lee County is that the seller pays it, but the purchase contract governs.

Do I pay capital gains tax when I sell my Natura home?

Possibly not. The IRS lets a seller exclude up to $250,000 of gain, or $500,000 for a married couple filing jointly, on a main home owned and used for at least 2 of the last 5 years (IRS Topic 701). A second home or rental does not qualify the same way, so ask a tax adviser.

What net proceeds should I expect from selling a Natura home?

Net proceeds are the price less mortgage payoff, commission, documentary stamp tax, title costs, prorated taxes and association charges, and they differ by home. At a $486,250 price the stamp tax and title policy alone are about $5,900. We prepare a net sheet with your actual payoff and the estoppel numbers before you list.

How do I choose a listing price for my Natura home?

Match your home to its size cluster and year built, weight the resales of the last 12 to 24 months, adjust for lot, view, flood zone and condition, and set the price against the one active listing and the builder’s list. Do not use the 2017 to 2022 builder closings, which were contract prices, or the 2022 surge.

What is the best month to list a Natura home?

Natura resales cluster in winter and spring: of 51 on record, 17 recorded in the first quarter, 14 in the second, 11 in the third and 9 in the fourth, and 31 fell from January through June. That points to listing in the fall or winter for a first-half closing, though small counts limit the certainty.

Should I sell before or after snowbird season in Natura?

The record favors being on the market before season: 31 of 51 Natura resales recorded from January through June. Listing in the fall lets seasonal buyers see the home when they arrive, but 114 of 219 Natura owners claim homestead, so roughly half are year-round and demand is not purely seasonal.

Can I sell my Natura home as is?

Yes, and an as-is sale is priced for the work the buyer will do. What you cannot sell around is disclosure: known defects, flood history under section 689.302 and anything the association’s documents show still apply, and a buyer’s inspection can still cancel an as-is contract in the inspection period.

How do I sell my Natura home if there is a pending special assessment?

We found none for Natura, and the only recent master proposal, $500 for the second pool, failed on July 16, 2026. If one is adopted, the estoppel certificate will state it, and the contract should say who pays. Ask the management company for the current status when you list.

Do I need the builder’s permission to resell my Natura home while the builder is still selling?

We found no such requirement in the master documents we read, and the Natura declaration is not posted, so confirm it in writing. What the recorded documents do show is that the developer holds 329 Natura votes and controls the Natura association, which is why the estoppel and the documents matter.

How do I price my Natura home against The Patios of Natura new-build list?

Treat the builder’s list as a ceiling, not a comp. Its $449,990 to $519,990 list is undated, it says “starting at” and “subject to change,” and it may not match closed prices. Compare on price per square foot against the 12-month resale median of $236.01 and on the fee stack, and disclose what your home offers that a new one does not.

How much did Natura homes sell for in the last 12 months?

The county recorded 10 sales in the 12 months to September 29, 2026 at a median of $486,250 (mean of $472,500 and $500,000), a range of $380,000 to $579,990 and $4,777,490 in volume. The MLS recorded 8 closings at a median of $435,000, and the difference is builder sales and recording lag.

How do I find recent sold prices in Natura?

The county’s qualified sales file is public through the Lee County Property Appraiser, and the MLS holds closings with days on market. Our market section lists all 10 recent sales, and a free valuation compares your home with the specific ones that match it.

How much do Natura homes sell for per square foot?

The county’s 12-month median is $234.97 per heated square foot, $236.01 for the 7 resales and $233.94 for the 3 first sales, and the MLS 12-month median is $241 per living square foot. Smaller homes sell for more per foot: $324.40 for the 2 homes under 1,700 square feet against $216.40 for the 2 above 2,300.

Do upgrades and lot location change the value of a Natura home?

They can, but the public record cannot price them. About half of Natura homes were planned with golf-course views and half with preserve views, lot areas run from 2,822 to 13,290 square feet, and the county does not record upgrades. An appraiser or a valuation from us weighs them home by home.

Does new construction nearby help or hurt my Natura home’s value?

It can do both: new homes set comparable prices, and construction traffic and supply can slow showings. Phase 3’s 106 lots sold on August 12, 2026 and no builder or price is published, so the effect is not yet measurable. We will revisit your price when a builder announces.

Does it matter what the HOA pays for when valuing a Natura home?

Yes, because a buyer will subtract the fee from what they will pay. The master fee is $1,100 for 2026, and Natura’s own dues are not published, so a buyer cannot yet compare them. A seller who brings the Natura budget and estoppel to the showing removes an uncertainty a buyer would otherwise price in.

What if my Natura home appraises below the contract price?

The buyer, seller and lender negotiate: the buyer can bring cash, the price can drop, or the parties can dispute the appraisal with better comps. Natura appraisals lean on a handful of same-size sales and mix builder and resale prices, so we give the appraiser the resale comps and a note on the difference.

What is the difference between the builder’s price and the resale price in Natura?

The builder’s 12-month first sales were $550,000 to $579,990 against a $440,000 median for resales, but the first sales were larger or 2016-built homes near the sales center. The builder’s list is a brochure, and a resale is priced on the owner-to-owner record.

How accurate are online value estimates for Natura homes?

Less accurate than usual, because the sales file mixes builder contract prices with resales, 103 sales in 2022 were mostly builder closings, and only 7 resales have closed in the last 12 months. An online estimate cannot separate a 2016 home from a 2022 home of the same size. Ask for a valuation built on the resales.

Why choose McGreevy and Comisar to sell my Natura home?

McGreevy and Comisar, Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008 and the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012, price a Natura home from the recorded record: all 10 sales of the last 12 months, the fee and developer-control questions a buyer will ask, and the flood paperwork. We do not claim a Natura closing count. See how we sell Natura homes.

What does it cost to list with McGreevy and Comisar?

The commission is negotiable and set in the listing agreement, so we do not quote a number on this page. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 and we will prepare a net sheet at your price, including stamp tax, title, payoff and association charges, before you sign.

Downloadable Documents

The official documents below are recorded with the Lee County Clerk, published by the Bonita Fairways Community Association, Lee County, FEMA or the State of Florida. They are the documents we read for this page, and the ones a Natura buyer or seller should read before signing. Each link opens the issuing authority’s own copy.

The Natura association’s own declaration, dues, budget and rules are not posted online; they come with the estoppel certificate and documents package at a sale, and recorded instruments can be requested from the Lee County Clerk.
