The Preserve is one of the most popular condominium neighborhoods within the gated Colonial Country Club community in Fort Myers, Florida. Known for its affordable ownership opportunities, scenic preserve and lake views, maintenance-free lifestyle, and access to exceptional resort-style amenities, The Preserve offers homeowners an outstanding combination of comfort, convenience, and value. Built between 2005 and 2006, this attractive low-rise condominium neighborhood appeals to full-time residents, seasonal homeowners, and investors seeking an active Southwest Florida lifestyle within one of Fort Myers' premier country club communities.
Conveniently located along Hemingway Lane within Colonial Country Club, The 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, Florida Gulf Coast University, Lee Health facilities, and countless shopping and dining destinations. Downtown Fort Myers, Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel Island, Bonita Springs, and Naples are all within an easy drive, offering exceptional convenience while maintaining the privacy and security of a gated community.
Developed by Pulte Homes between 2005 and 2006, The Preserve features attractive two-story condominium buildings with Mediterranean-inspired architecture, concrete block construction, tile roofs, screened lanais, assigned parking with select garage options, and beautifully maintained tropical landscaping. Residences generally range from approximately 1,200 to nearly 1,600 square feet of living space and offer spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-bedroom-plus-den, and three-bedroom floor plans. Many homes feature open-concept living areas, split-bedroom layouts, generous primary suites with walk-in closets, volume ceilings, eat-in kitchens, and expansive screened lanais overlooking preserve areas, lakes, or landscaped green space. Numerous residences have been updated with quartz or granite countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, luxury vinyl plank flooring, renovated bathrooms, hurricane protection, and contemporary coastal finishes.
One of The Preserve's defining characteristics is its peaceful natural setting. Many residences back to protected preserve areas that provide exceptional privacy, while others enjoy tranquil lake views with decorative fountains. Mature palms, colorful tropical landscaping, and quiet streets create a relaxing atmosphere where residents regularly enjoy Southwest Florida's abundant birdlife and native wildlife from the comfort of their screened lanais. The neighborhood's thoughtfully designed layout creates a sense of tranquility while remaining just minutes from every major convenience.
Homes within The Preserve include Colonial Country Club's Lakes (Social) Membership, giving residents full access to the community's extensive recreational and social amenities while allowing golf to be enjoyed on a pay-as-you-play basis when tee times are available. This membership structure is ideal for buyers who appreciate an active country club lifestyle without the commitment or cost of a bundled golf membership.
Residents of The Preserve enjoy full access to Colonial Country Club's outstanding 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 practice facilities, and an active calendar of clubs, fitness classes, holiday celebrations, live entertainment, and community events throughout the year. These amenities create a vibrant social atmosphere that appeals to both seasonal and year-round residents.
Another popular feature of The Preserve is its private neighborhood swimming pool located within the condominium community. Residents enjoy the convenience of a nearby pool while also having access to Colonial Country Club's larger resort-style pool and clubhouse amenities. This combination provides both neighborhood intimacy and full community access.
Maintenance-free living is another significant advantage of ownership within The Preserve. Exterior building maintenance, roof care, landscaping, irrigation, and common area upkeep are managed through the condominium association, allowing homeowners to spend more time enjoying the fitness center, tennis, pickleball, dining, nearby beaches, shopping, and Southwest Florida's year-round outdoor lifestyle. This lock-and-leave ownership is especially attractive to retirees, seasonal homeowners, and second-home buyers.
Real estate within The Preserve remains highly desirable because of its affordable pricing, spacious condominium floor plans, peaceful preserve setting, social membership privileges, and exceptional South Fort Myers location. Whether buyers are searching for a primary residence, seasonal getaway, or investment property, The Preserve offers one of the best values within Colonial Country Club while providing access to an exceptional country club lifestyle.
