Cypress Preserve is one of the most desirable villa neighborhoods within the gated Colonial Country Club community in Fort Myers, Florida. Known for its beautifully maintained twin villas, peaceful preserve views, maintenance-free lifestyle, and resort-style amenities, Cypress Preserve offers homeowners an exceptional blend of comfort, convenience, and active Southwest Florida living. Developed in 2005, this intimate neighborhood features attached villas designed for buyers seeking the ease of single-level living while enjoying the outstanding amenities of one of Fort Myers' premier gated golf communities.
Conveniently located along Hemingway Lane within Colonial Country Club, Cypress Preserve enjoys one of South Fort Myers' most desirable locations. Residents are only minutes from Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW), Interstate 75, Gulf Coast Town Center, Bell Tower Shops, JetBlue Park, Hammond Stadium, Florida Gulf Coast University, Lee Health facilities, and numerous shopping and dining destinations. Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel Island, Bonita Springs, and Naples are all within easy driving distance, providing exceptional convenience while maintaining the privacy of a gated community.
Built primarily in 2005 by Pulte Homes, Cypress Preserve consists of attached twin villas featuring Mediterranean-inspired architecture, concrete block construction, tile roofs, attached two-car garages, screened lanais, and professionally landscaped homesites. Residences generally range from approximately 1,500 to 1,730 square feet of living space and offer spacious two-bedroom-plus-den and three-bedroom floor plans with two full bathrooms. Many homes feature open-concept great rooms, split-bedroom layouts, generous primary suites with walk-in closets, eat-in kitchens, volume ceilings, and large screened lanais designed for Florida's indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Numerous residences have been extensively updated with quartz or granite countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, luxury vinyl plank flooring, renovated bathrooms, plantation shutters, hurricane protection, and modern coastal finishes.
One of Cypress Preserve's defining characteristics is its tranquil natural setting. Many villas overlook protected preserves that provide exceptional privacy and lush green views, while others enjoy peaceful lake vistas surrounded by mature tropical landscaping. Large screened lanais create the perfect space for relaxing, entertaining, or simply enjoying Southwest Florida's year-round sunshine while observing native birds and wildlife. The neighborhood's quiet streets and low-density layout contribute to its peaceful residential atmosphere.
Unlike many neighborhoods within Colonial Country Club, Cypress Preserve homes include social memberships rather than bundled golf memberships. Residents enjoy full access to the community's resort-style amenities while also having the opportunity to play the Gordon Lewis-designed championship golf course on a pay-as-you-play basis, offering excellent flexibility for homeowners who enjoy golf without requiring unlimited membership privileges.
Residents of Cypress Preserve enjoy full access to Colonial Country Club's recently renovated amenities, including an elegant clubhouse with casual and fine dining, indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, a state-of-the-art fitness center, resort-style swimming pool and spa, Har-Tru tennis courts, pickleball courts, bocce courts, walking trails, golf practice facilities, and an active calendar of clubs, fitness classes, live entertainment, holiday celebrations, and community events. These amenities create an engaging lifestyle that appeals to both seasonal and year-round residents.
One of Colonial Country Club's greatest strengths is its commitment to preserving Southwest Florida's natural environment. Throughout the community, scenic lakes, wetlands, and protected preserves provide beautiful views while supporting abundant native wildlife. Residents frequently enjoy sightings of herons, egrets, osprey, turtles, and other Florida wildlife while walking the community, relaxing on their lanais, or enjoying the neighborhood's outdoor amenities. Beautiful landscaping and meticulously maintained common areas further enhance the community's appeal.
Cypress Preserve is especially attractive to buyers seeking the convenience of maintenance-free villa living without sacrificing privacy or amenities. Lawn care, exterior maintenance, and common area upkeep are managed through the homeowners association, allowing residents to spend more time enjoying the clubhouse, fitness center, pickleball, dining, nearby beaches, shopping, and Southwest Florida's year-round outdoor lifestyle. Limited inventory and strong buyer demand continue to support excellent long-term property values.
Real estate within Cypress Preserve remains highly desirable because of its spacious villa floor plans, scenic preserve views, social membership privileges, and exceptional South Fort Myers location. Whether buyers are searching for a primary residence, seasonal retreat, or investment property, Cypress Preserve offers one of the finest villa lifestyles within Colonial Country Club.
