Conveniently located just off Treeline Avenue between Colonial Boulevard and Daniels Parkway, Shadow Glen enjoys one of South Fort Myers' most sought-after locations. Residents are only minutes from Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW), Interstate 75, Gulf Coast Town Center, Bell Tower Shops, Florida Gulf Coast University, JetBlue Park, Lee Health facilities, and numerous shopping and dining destinations.

Built primarily between 2004 and 2005, Shadow Glen features Mediterranean-inspired single-family homes with concrete block construction, tile roofs, attached two-car garages, paver driveways, and expansive screened lanais. Homes generally range from approximately 1,700 to over 2,650 square feet of living space and offer spacious two-bedroom-plus-den, three-bedroom, and larger family-friendly floor plans with two or three bathrooms. Many residences include soaring ceilings, open-concept living areas, generous primary suites with walk-in closets, gourmet kitchens, loft spaces, and private swimming pools and spas. Numerous homes have been updated with quartz or granite countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, luxury flooring, hurricane protection, smart-home technology, and contemporary coastal finishes.
One of Shadow Glen's defining characteristics is its peaceful natural setting. Many homes overlook protected preserves that provide exceptional privacy with no rear neighbors, while others enjoy scenic lake or golf course views. Mature palms, lush tropical landscaping, and quiet streets create a serene residential atmosphere where homeowners regularly enjoy Southwest Florida's abundant birdlife and native wildlife from the comfort of their screened lanais. Several homes feature private pools and spas, creating personal backyard retreats ideal for year-round outdoor living.
A major advantage of owning in Shadow Glen is that homes include bundled golf membership to Colonial Country Club. Homeowners receive full golf privileges with ownership, including unlimited access to the recently renovated Gordon Lewis-designed 18-hole championship golf course, expanded practice facilities, golf leagues, tournaments, and professional instruction. As a Troon-managed club, Colonial Country Club has earned recognition as a Distinguished Club and continues to be regarded as one of Southwest Florida's premier bundled golf communities.
Residents of Shadow Glen also enjoy full access to Colonial Country Club's exceptional resort-style amenities. The recently renovated clubhouse features 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 pro shop, library, and a vibrant social calendar featuring clubs, fitness classes, live entertainment, holiday celebrations, and community events throughout the year.
One of Colonial Country Club's greatest strengths is its commitment to preserving Southwest Florida's natural beauty. The community features dozens of lakes, extensive protected preserve areas, and beautifully landscaped green spaces that provide scenic views while supporting abundant native wildlife. Residents frequently enjoy sightings of herons, egrets, osprey, turtles, and other Florida wildlife while golfing, walking, or relaxing on their lanais. Beautiful landscaping and meticulously maintained common areas further enhance the community's appeal.
Maintenance-free living is another significant advantage of Shadow Glen ownership. Lawn care, landscaping, and many exterior maintenance responsibilities are managed through the homeowners association, allowing residents to spend more time golfing, enjoying the clubhouse, relaxing by the pool, or exploring Southwest Florida's beaches, shopping, and dining. This lock-and-leave convenience makes Shadow Glen especially attractive to retirees, seasonal homeowners, and buyers seeking an active yet low-maintenance lifestyle.
Real estate within Shadow Glen remains highly desirable because of its bundled golf membership, larger single-family homes, private pools, scenic preserve and golf course views, and exceptional South Fort Myers location. Limited inventory and strong buyer demand continue to support excellent long-term property values. Whether buyers are searching for a primary residence, seasonal retreat, or investment opportunity, Shadow Glen offers one of the finest bundled golf lifestyles within Colonial Country Club.
