The Landings at Bears Paw is a 22-home single-family enclave on Vinland Way beside Bear's Paw Country Club in Naples, Florida.

Vinland Way is in unincorporated Collier County, even though most of Bear's Paw Country Club's condominiums are inside the City of Naples. Its mailing city is Naples and its ZIP code is 34105. This guide covers the single-family homes on Vinland Way only, not the Bears Paw condominiums and villas on Wildwood Lane and Bears Paw Trail, which have their own associations and their own sales.
The Landings at Bears Paw is 22 single-family homes on Vinland Way, and the right realtor prices each one against its county heated area, its Gordon River or golf course setting, its flood zone and elevation certificate, the club membership terms in its documents, and the four qualified sales the county recorded in the last 60 months.

A seller at The Landings at Bears Paw gets a price built from the county record, the county heated area, the river or golf course setting and the flood zone, not from a neighborhood average. Collier County records 4 qualified sales at The Landings in the last 60 months, from $4,150,000 to $6,650,000, and 1 in the last 12 months, at $4,150,000. These are small samples, so read them as the county record, not a forecast.
Before listing we gather what a buyer will ask for: the elevation certificate, the permit history, the insurance declarations including flood, the association's estoppel information and the club membership terms. Our Naples home valuation page and our guide to selling a home in Naples set out the steps.
A buyer at The Landings at Bears Paw gets the questions that matter before the offer, each pointed at the record that answers it. What does the elevation certificate show against the 9.0 foot base flood elevation on FEMA's flood map? What does the recorded declaration say about club membership? What do the association's budget and estoppel certificate show?
We also ask for an insurance quote that includes flood before the inspection period ends, because a lender making a federally backed mortgage generally requires flood insurance in Zone AE. And under Florida's Save Our Homes statute a home is assessed at just value on January 1 after a change of ownership, so the seller's tax bill does not predict the buyer's.
County recorded sales matter more than asking prices at The Landings at Bears Paw because only a recorded sale shows what a buyer and seller agreed on. The county file holds 2 qualified sales in the last 36 months, from $4,150,000 to $5,800,000, and 4 in the last 60 months, from $4,150,000 to $6,650,000 (qualified sales over $100,000, Collier sale-date end October 16, 2026).
MLS figures for active listings, list-to-sale ratios and days on market were not pulled for this edition. With so few sales we publish no median, no average, no price per foot and no trend, and we show no address beside a price.
We price a Landings home by its own record: its county heated area, its county roll year, whether it faces the Gordon River or the golf course, its elevation certificate and its condition. The 22 homes run from 2,552 to 4,360 square feet of county heated area, with a median of 3,076, so size alone separates them widely.
The first-generation closings from 2015 to 2017 were 11 qualified sales from $1,493,700 to $2,954,800. We read those and the recent sales as two separate records, not as a growth rate, because the homes, the market and the flood maps all changed in between.
The club membership terms belong in the listing file because the developer's 2019 sales site said every Landings owner holds a Landings Membership at Bear's Paw Country Club, and a buyer will ask what that means today. We ask the club office and read the recorded declaration before the home goes on the market, and we pair the answers with the association documents a buyer receives under Chapter 720 of the Florida Statutes.
The flood map changes the math at The Landings at Bears Paw because FEMA's flood map places both ends of Vinland Way in Zone AE with a base flood elevation of 9.0 feet NAVD88, on panels 12021C0391J and 12021C0392J, effective February 8, 2024. The developer's fill-based map revisions from 2015, 2017 and 2018 are superseded by those 2024 maps, so every buyer asks for the home's elevation certificate.
Collier County holds Class 5 in the flood insurance Community Rating System, a 25 percent discount on eligible flood insurance policies, per the county's March 2026 flood newsletter and the FEMA CRS guide.
The Landings at Bears Paw is 22 single-family homes on Vinland Way in unincorporated Collier County, and these twelve facts are the ones a buyer or seller checks first: the plats, the jurisdiction, the developer and builder, the sizes, the recorded sales, the association, the club, the flood map, the river, the schools and the drives.

The Landings at Bears Paw is 22 single-family homes on Vinland Way, Naples 34105, on three recorded Collier County plats beside Bear's Paw Country Club, and it is not in the City of Naples: Vinland Way is in unincorporated Collier County, even though most of Bear's Paw Country Club's condominiums are inside the City of Naples.

This guide is about the 22 single-family homes on Vinland Way recorded on the three LANDINGS AT BEARS PAW plats. It is not Bears Paw Condominium I, whose 180 units on Wildwood Lane carry county roll years of 1981 and 1982, not Bears Paw Villas, with 50 units on Bears Paw Trail, and not The Village at Bears Paw, with 15 units. Each of those has its own association and its own sales, so when a listing says "Bears Paw," check the street.
The Landings at Bears Paw is a 22-home single-family enclave on one street, Vinland Way, built from 2016 to 2024 by county roll year, on land the developer described as about 10.5 acres between the Bear's Paw golf course, the Gordon River and the Gordon River Greenway.
The developer, Headwaters Development, lists the community among its past projects and says it is sold out, so every purchase today is a resale.
The Landings at Bears Paw is in ZIP code 34105 in Collier County, with a Naples mailing address; Bear's Paw Country Club shares that ZIP code at 2500 Golden Gate Parkway, per the club's home page. The ZIP code does not decide which government applies: for Vinland Way, county planning, zoning, permits and floodplain rules apply rather than the City's.
The Landings at Bears Paw is not inside the City of Naples limits. FEMA's flood map lists Vinland Way under Collier County's community number 120067, while the Bears Paw condominiums on Wildwood Lane and Bears Paw Trail fall under the City of Naples, community number 125130. The City annexed Bear's Paw by a 1993 referendum, per City of Naples ordinance records, and that annexation did not reach Vinland Way.
The Collier County Commission, not the City, approved the LANDINGS AT BEARS PAW REPL 1 plat on December 8, 2015, per the county commission minutes. The Collier County Sheriff's Office serves Vinland Way, and the fire district for the address is shown on the home's county tax bill.
Collier County's roll lists 22 single-family homes at The Landings at Bears Paw, with county roll years from 2016 to 2024, county heated area from 2,552 to 4,360 square feet and a median of 3,076. Fourteen of the 22 have 3,000 square feet or more.
The builder's page counts 23 homes, while the developer's page and the county roll both count 22, and we use the county roll for every count in this guide.
The county lists three plats because the community was recorded and then adjusted twice: the original LANDINGS AT BEARS PAW plat, then LANDINGS AT BEARS PAW REPL 1, approved by the Collier County Commission on December 8, 2015, and later LANDINGS AT BEARS PAW L10 REP LOT 10 REPLAT, which first appears on the county roll in 2022.
REPL 1 holds four homes with roll years from 2018 to 2020, and the Lot 10 replat holds one home with a 2022 roll year plus tract parcels; most homes sit on the original plat. A title search cites the plat that applies to a specific home.
The Landings at Bears Paw sits on Vinland Way in Naples 34105, between the Bear's Paw golf course to the north and the Gordon River to the south, with the Gordon River Greenway on its west side; drives leave Vinland Way by Vinland Drive to Golden Gate Parkway, and Fifth Avenue South is about 10 minutes away.

You reach Vinland Way from Golden Gate Parkway: the measured routes leave the street by Vinland Drive and join Golden Gate Parkway east of Goodlette-Frank Road. From Interstate 75, the club's directions page says to take Exit 105 (Golden Gate Parkway) west. Bear's Paw Trail is the club's entrance and Vinland Way is a separate street, so use the full Vinland Way address in a map app.
From Vinland Way, Fifth Avenue South and Naples Airport are each about 10 minutes away, and Southwest Florida International Airport is about 46 minutes away in free-flowing traffic. The Fifth Avenue South district runs from Tamiami Trail to the Gulf in Old Naples.
Naples Airport is run by the Naples Airport Authority for general aviation; Southwest Florida International in Fort Myers is the commercial airport.
The nearest Gulf beach by road from Vinland Way is Lowdermilk Park, about 3.3 miles away. Bear's Paw Country Club's residential page puts Naples Beach about 3 miles from Bear's Paw and the Naples Zoo about 0.5 mile away.
From Vinland Way, Coastland Center is about 8 minutes away, Waterside Shops about 13 minutes and Mercato about 17 minutes in free-flowing traffic. For care, NCH Baker Hospital is about 10 minutes away and NCH North Naples Hospital about 19 minutes. In-season traffic adds time to every drive.
Landings buyers often compare Grey Oaks, a 34105 club community with three golf courses, per Grey Oaks Country Club, and Wyndemere, with 27 holes by Arthur Hills, per a golf course database. The Moorings and Kensington come up as well. Each has its own association, club rules and sales, so we compare them fact by fact.
The Landings at Bears Paw was developed by Headwaters Development, designed by MHK Architecture & Planning and built by FrontDoor Communities, with land planning by Architectural Land Design and engineering by JR Evans Engineering; the county roll dates the 22 homes from 2016 to 2024, and the developer lists the community as sold out.
Data updated: November 2026 (Collier County roll, file dated October 27, 2026; developer and builder sites read November 10, 2026; county commission minutes of December 8, 2015).

Headwaters Development developed The Landings at Bears Paw and lists it among its past projects, describing the style as coastal contemporary. A Southwest Florida Business Today profile says the company was founded in Naples in 2012, that The Landings was its first project, and that a later project is Coconut Landing in Estero, with 25 homes.
The developer names MHK Architecture & Planning as the architect and FrontDoor Communities as the builder, and the developer's sales site credits Architectural Land Design with land planning and JR Evans Engineering with civil engineering.
Whether FrontDoor Communities built every one of the 22 homes is not stated on any public page we read, so ask for the permit file on the specific home, which names the contractor of record and the code edition.
The original LANDINGS AT BEARS PAW plat was recorded before December 8, 2015, the day the Collier County Commission approved LANDINGS AT BEARS PAW REPL 1 for recording, per the county commission minutes, in Section 35, Township 49 South, Range 25 East. The Lot 10 replat first appears on the county roll in 2022, and the first qualified home sale the county recorded at The Landings closed in November 2015.
The county roll dates the 22 Landings homes from 2016 to 2024: 2 in 2016, 5 in 2017, 4 in 2018, 3 in 2019, 1 in 2020, 2 each in 2021, 2022 and 2023, and 1 in 2024. The roll year is the year the county recorded the structure, which can trail the end of construction.
No new construction is offered at The Landings at Bears Paw: the developer lists the community as sold out, the builder's page says the same, and the county roll shows a home on every residential lot, the last dated 2024. A buyer who plans a remodel reads the association's architectural rules and the recorded declaration first, because they control exterior changes.
The Landings at Bears Paw homes are custom single-family houses of 2,552 to 4,360 square feet of county heated area, median 3,076, built from 2016 to 2024; the developer calls the style coastal contemporary, and it says 14 homes face the Gordon River and 8 face the golf course.
Data updated: November 2026 (Collier County roll, file dated October 27, 2026; developer and builder sites read November 10, 2026).

Landings at Bears Paw homes run from 2,552 to 4,360 square feet of county heated area, with a median of 3,076 square feet, and 14 of the 22 have 3,000 square feet or more. County heated area is the county's measure; a builder's "total" area also counts garages and lanais, so compare the county figure with the county figure.
The builder lists two plans, per FrontDoor Communities. The Antigua is one story with 3 bedrooms plus a den and 3.5 baths, 3,182 square feet of living area and 4,322 in total. The Cayman is two stories with 4 bedrooms plus a den and 4.5 baths, 3,633 square feet of living area and 5,018 in total. A custom house can differ from the base plan, so the permit file shows what was built.
The developer's community page says 14 homes face the Gordon River with southern exposure and the option of a dock, and 8 face the golf course with the option to buy a slip on the community dock. The county roll does not label which is which, so the plat and a survey confirm it by address.
Any boat on the river must clear the U.S. 41 bridge over the Gordon River, a fixed span with about 10 feet of vertical clearance, to reach Naples Bay, and Gordon Pass to the Gulf is about 2.5 miles past the bay, per NOAA Coast Pilot 5.
The developer describes Landings homes as coastal contemporary, designed by MHK Architecture & Planning, and the plan names, Cayman and Antigua, follow a Caribbean naming theme. Later exterior changes follow the association's architectural rules.
A buyer should verify five records on a specific Landings home: the elevation certificate, the permit file, a survey with the recorded plat, the association's estoppel certificate and the club membership terms. Lot sizes are not published for The Landings, so the survey and the plat show the specific lot, its easements and any dock location. The elevation certificate matters most, because Vinland Way is in FEMA Zone AE.
The Landings at Bears Paw sits beside Bear's Paw Country Club, a member-owned club at 2500 Golden Gate Parkway with a Jack Nicklaus Signature 18-hole course that opened in December 1980; the developer's 2019 sales site said every Landings owner holds a Landings Membership, and today's terms are confirmed in the declaration and with the club office.
Data updated: November 2026 (Bear's Paw Country Club and Nicklaus Design pages, read November 10, 2026; the developer's 2019 sales site).
Bear's Paw Country Club is a member-owned club at 2500 Golden Gate Parkway with 352 members, per the club's membership page. Its club history says Shelter Corporation of Winnipeg, Canada, started the project on 245 acres, and the members took over in 1985, per the club.
The club's about page describes 296 residences in Bear's Paw, condominiums, villas and single-family homes, and does not name The Landings, which is a separate community next to the club with its own plats and association.
The developer's 2019 sales site said all Landings residents hold a Landings Membership at Bear's Paw Country Club, with access to fitness, tennis, pickleball, bocce, dining, social events, the pro shop and limited golf from November 1 to April 30, full golf privileges from May to October, and a full golf membership available as an option.
That was the developer's statement in 2019. Whether the membership is still required today, and what it costs, the club does not publish, so ask the club office and read the recorded declaration. We publish no dues or fee figure.
You confirm today's membership terms from three sources: the recorded declaration for The Landings, the club office at 239-263-3007, and the association's estoppel certificate, which under section 720.30851 must list the other associations a parcel belongs to. Section 720.401 also requires a seller to give the buyer the association disclosure summary, which covers mandatory membership, before the contract is signed.
The club lists 2 lighted Har-Tru tennis courts and 4 pickleball courts on its tennis and pickleball page, a fitness center with cardio and strength equipment, and dining in the clubhouse with an outdoor bar and terrace, plus book club, bridge, mahjongg and bocce groups.
The club keeps members' boat docks on the Gordon River, per its boating page, and boats from those docks pass under the U.S. 41 bridge, with about 10 feet of vertical clearance, to reach Naples Bay.
The Bear's Paw course closed April 7, 2015, for a Nicklaus Design restoration, per Nicklaus Design, and reopened November 1, 2015, with all 18 greens and all bunkers rebuilt, per its completion report. The new clubhouse opened to members on November 1, 2019, per the club.
The course plays to par 72 per golf course directories, including GolfPass, and the club calls it the first Jack Nicklaus Signature course on the West Coast of Florida on its golf page.
Landings owners reach the club by golf cart or car: the developer's 2019 sales site described a 5-minute golf cart ride from The Landings to the clubhouse, fitness center, pro shop and restaurant, and the club's own entrance is on Bear's Paw Trail off Golden Gate Parkway. The cart route and any cart rules are set by the club and the association, so ask both for a specific home.
The Landings at Bears Paw is governed by Landings at Bear's Paw Homeowner's Association, Inc., a Florida not-for-profit corporation filed with the state in 2014 and still active, with Sentry Management as its registered agent. Chapter 720 of the Florida Statutes sets the rules for the association, its records and its resale paperwork.
Data updated: November 2026 (Florida corporate records, read November 10, 2026; Chapter 720, Florida Statutes; Collier County plat records).
State corporate records list the association as LANDINGS AT BEAR'S PAW HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION, INC., a Florida not-for-profit corporation filed in 2014, active, with annual reports on file every year since. The legal name spells "Bear's Paw" with an apostrophe, while the three recorded plats spell it without one, so a title company searches both spellings.
The same state record shows amended and restated articles of incorporation filed in 2022, and Sentry Management as the registered agent, the published route for notices and records requests. A buyer reads the current articles beside the declaration. The board members' names are public in state filings and are not repeated here.
Chapter 720, Florida Statutes governs Florida homeowners' associations, and it applies here because The Landings is a community of detached homes on platted lots, not a condominium. Chapter 720 sets the rules for board meetings, budgets and financial reports, owner access to official records, the estoppel certificate at resale and the disclosure summary a seller gives a buyer.
Where the declaration and the statute both speak to an issue, they are read together, and a Florida real estate attorney is the right reader for a specific dispute or an unusual clause.
A buyer of a home at The Landings at Bears Paw asks the seller and the association for this file before the inspection period ends:
County records place the 22 homes on three recorded plats: LANDINGS AT BEARS PAW, LANDINGS AT BEARS PAW REPL 1 and LANDINGS AT BEARS PAW L10 REP LOT 10 REPLAT, plus common-area tracts. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners approved the minor final plat of Landings at Bears Paw Replat One on December 8, 2015, as a consent agenda item.
The Lot 10 replat carries a 2022 roll year on the county roll. A title commitment delivers the recorded plat for the specific lot, and a buyer reads the plat notes with the survey before closing.
No leasing rule for The Landings at Bears Paw appears in any public source we reviewed, so the recorded declaration and the association's rules are the documents that answer it. A buyer who plans to lease the home at any point reads both before signing, along with any minimum term or approval step they set.
State law adds a timing point. Under section 720.306, Florida Statutes, an amendment that restricts leasing generally binds only owners who vote for it and owners who take title after it is recorded.
The Landings at Bears Paw borders Bear's Paw Country Club, and the developer's 2019 sales site said every Landings owner held a "Landings Membership" giving club facilities with limited golf in season, with full golf available as an option. Whether that membership is still required today, and what it costs, rests on the declaration and the club.
Data updated: November 2026 (Bear's Paw Country Club website, read November 10, 2026; the developer's 2019 sales site; Chapter 720, Florida Statutes).
The developer's 2019 sales site said all Landings residents held a Landings Membership at Bear's Paw Country Club, giving access to the club property and its facilities: fitness, tennis, pickleball, bocce, dining, social events, the pro shop and limited golf. Limited golf ran from November 1 to April 30, full golf privileges applied from May to October, and tee time restrictions applied.
The same 2019 site said a full golf membership option was available to Landings residents. The developer's 2014 site described a special membership with golf cart access to the club property and a golf cart garage at each home.
The club's membership page does not state whether any neighborhood's owners must join, and the current Landings rule is not published, so the recorded declaration and the club office answer it. The club office is at 239-263-3007, and the declaration is filed in the Collier Clerk's official records.
State law gives a buyer a written answer before signing. The seller must deliver the disclosure summary under section 720.401, Florida Statutes, which discloses whether membership in the association is mandatory and whether the buyer may have to pay fees for recreational facilities. A summary handed over late lets the buyer cancel within 3 days of receiving it, before closing.
Bear's Paw Country Club, at 2500 Golden Gate Parkway, centers on a Jack Nicklaus Signature 18-hole course that opened in December 1980. Nicklaus Design restored the course from the original drawings, and it reopened on November 1, 2015. The club opened its new clubhouse on November 1, 2019, per the club.
The club site lists 2 lighted Har-Tru tennis courts and 4 pickleball courts on its tennis and pickleball page, a fitness center, clubhouse dining and members' boat docks on the Gordon River. The club calls itself member-owned, and its membership page counts 352 members, most living at Bear's Paw and some owning property in nearby areas.
Bear's Paw Country Club is member-owned. Members took ownership in 1985, per the club's about page, which also caps membership at 352 and says only General Members vote. The club describes Bear's Paw as 296 residences: 192 condominiums, 90 villas and 15 homes, and its residential community page does not name The Landings.
The club's public pages do not publish transfer, initiation or equity terms for a Landings membership, so the club office and the declaration are the routes for a seller and a buyer alike. The contract can then assign who pays any club charge that falls due between listing and closing.
The estoppel certificate is the closing document that pins down the association side. Under section 720.30851, Florida Statutes, the association issues it within 10 business days of a request, and it states assessments owed, the paid-through date, open violations, any transfer approval requirement and other associations the parcel belongs to. A certificate delivered electronically stays valid for 30 days, or 35 days by mail.
The Landings at Bears Paw sits on the Gordon River, where the developer placed 14 of the 22 homes along the shore. Boats reach Naples Bay only by passing under the fixed U.S. 41 bridge, which NOAA lists at about 10 feet of vertical clearance, and Gordon Pass to the Gulf lies about 2.5 miles beyond the bridge.
Data updated: November 2026 (NOAA U.S. Coast Pilot 5, Chapter 4; Headwaters Development website; Bear's Paw Country Club website, read November 10, 2026).
Headwaters Development, the developer, describes 14 homes facing the Gordon River with southern exposure and 8 homes facing the Bear's Paw golf course. The developer's 2014 sales site described the 10.5-acre site as bordered by the golf course on the north, the Gordon River on the south and a preserve on the west.
By 2019 the developer's site named that western neighbor as Gordon River Greenway Park.
The developer's materials said the 14 river homes had the opportunity for a dock off the pool deck, and the 8 golf course homes had the option to buy a slip on the community dock, per Headwaters Development. Whether a given home has a dock or a slip today is a lot-by-lot fact.
A buyer confirms it with the survey, the dock permit, any lift permit and the association's dock and slip rules, and, for a slip, with the document that assigns or conveys it, such as the declaration or a recorded slip instrument.
NOAA's U.S. Coast Pilot 5, Chapter 4 describes a dredged channel that leads from the Gulf through Gordon Pass and north to the U.S. Route 41 highway bridge at Naples, about 2.5 miles north of Gordon Pass. A boat leaving the Gordon River at Bear's Paw runs downriver, under that bridge, then down Naples Bay to the pass.
The Coast Pilot also notes a no-wake speed limit in Gordon Pass between Daybeacons 7 and 10, and in Naples Bay between Daybeacon 29 and the bridge at Naples. A current NOAA chart is the document to read before a first trip.
The U.S. Route 41 bridge has a 32-foot fixed span with a clearance of 10 feet, and NOAA's Coast Pilot says few craft go upriver of it. A sailboat with a standing mast cannot clear a 10-foot span, so the boats that work from Vinland Way are low-profile ones that fit under it.
Water depth in the upper Gordon River at Vinland Way is not stated in any source we reviewed; a marine surveyor or a dock contractor who has worked the river is the route to a reading for a specific dock.
Bear's Paw Country Club keeps members-only boat docks on the Gordon River, and its boating page lists boating, fishing, kayaking, canoeing and stand-up paddle boarding, with boats kept in a club slip or on a lift. The club's strategic plan names a future expansion of those docks.
The club says its docks give direct access to the Gulf, and the same U.S. 41 bridge clearance of about 10 feet applies to every boat leaving the river. Club dock use follows club membership, so a Landings owner who wants a club slip asks the club office what membership class it needs and whether one is open.
The Landings at Bears Paw recorded 1 qualified sale in the 12 months to October 16, 2026, at $4,150,000, and 4 qualified sales in 60 months, from $4,150,000 to $6,650,000, according to Collier County recorded sales. With 22 homes on Vinland Way, the record is too thin for a median or an average.
Data updated: November 2026 (Collier County recorded sales, qualified sales over $100,000, Collier sale-date end October 16, 2026, county file dated October 27, 2026).

In the 12 months to October 16, 2026, Collier County recorded 1 qualified sale at The Landings at Bears Paw, at $4,150,000. The 24-month window holds the same single sale, so the county file shows 1 qualified sale at $4,150,000 across two years (qualified sales over $100,000, Collier sale-date end October 16, 2026).
Across 60 months to October 16, 2026, the county records 4 qualified sales at The Landings at Bears Paw, from $4,150,000 to $6,650,000, and across 36 months it records 2 qualified sales, from $4,150,000 to $5,800,000 (qualified sales over $100,000, Collier sale-date end October 16, 2026).
Each of those four sales is a different house on a different lot. The range shows the spread of those four closings; it does not describe a typical home. Transfers the county did not qualify, and vacant-lot sales, are left out of every count.
The first round of closings at The Landings at Bears Paw, from 2015 to 2017, holds 11 qualified sales from $1,493,700 to $2,954,800, according to Collier County recorded sales. Those closings came as the homes were first built and sold, and county roll years for the 22 homes run from 2016 to 2024.
The two sets of figures are printed side by side as the county recorded them, and this guide draws no rate of change from them.
Every window holds fewer than 10 qualified sales, and under that count a median, an average or a per-foot figure moves with a single closing. The house sizes are steady enough to describe: county heated area runs from 2,552 to 4,360 square feet, with a median of 3,076, and 14 of the 22 homes have 3,000 square feet or more.
County heated area is the county's measure, which can differ from the living area in a listing, a builder's plan or an appraisal. A buyer comparing two Landings homes uses the same measure for both.
The other Bears Paw condominiums, inside the City of Naples, sell in a different band from the Landings homes. Since November 1, 2024, the county records 17 qualified sales at Bears Paw Condominium I, from $600,000 to $1,075,000, and 4 at Bears Paw Villas, from $735,000 to $1,100,000 (qualified sales over $100,000, Collier sale-date end October 16, 2026).
In the same period it records 2 qualified sales at Bears Paw Lakeview One, from $685,000 to $705,000, and 1 at Bears Paw Villas 7, at $900,000. Bears Paw Condominium I holds 180 units built in 1981 and 1982, and Bears Paw Villas 50. These are attached condominium homes, a separate product from the detached houses on Vinland Way.
A Landings seller starts with a Naples home valuation that reads the specific home against the few Landings sales and against nearby sales that fit it: river or course frontage, county heated area, roll year, dock or slip, and condition. With 22 homes, each closing on Vinland Way carries weight, and the comparables reach beyond the street.
The listing plan then sets price, timing and showing rules around the season and the buyer pool for a newer home on the Gordon River. Our Naples seller guide lays out that process. The flood disclosure under section 689.302, Florida Statutes, and the association's estoppel are gathered before the first showing.
The Landings at Bears Paw owners carry five recurring costs: association assessments, any club membership the declaration and the club require, the property tax bill, homeowners and wind insurance, and flood insurance, since Vinland Way is mapped in FEMA Zone AE. This guide prints no dues, premium or tax figure, only the documents that state them.
Data updated: November 2026 (FEMA flood map panels 12021C0391J and 12021C0392J, effective February 8, 2024; Citizens Property Insurance detail by county, period ending September 30, 2026; Florida Statutes).

Neither the Landings association nor Bear's Paw Country Club publishes a current charge for Landings owners, so the association's budget, the estoppel certificate and the club office are the documents and contacts that state them. The estoppel certificate also lists any other association the lot belongs to, which answers whether a second association charge applies.
Both figures go into the offer math before the inspection period ends, not after.
FEMA's flood map places Vinland Way in Zone AE with a base flood elevation of 9.0 feet NAVD88, on panels 12021C0391J and 12021C0392J, effective February 8, 2024. A home in that zone with a federally backed mortgage must carry flood insurance, and the home's elevation certificate drives the rate an agent quotes.
Collier County reports a Class 5 rating in FEMA's Community Rating System in its March 2026 floodplain newsletter, which brings a 25 percent discount on eligible NFIP policies, per FEMA's CRS guide. A new NFIP policy typically waits 30 days before it takes effect, so a buyer orders the quote early.
County roll years for the Landings homes run from 2016 to 2024, so every home falls under building codes in force after March 1, 2002, the threshold on the wind mitigation form OIR-B1-1802. The design wind speed for Vinland Way falls between 160 and 170 mph on the Florida Building Code wind map, which an inspector records on the newer form.
A wind mitigation report describes the roof material, roof attachment, roof shape, secondary water resistance and opening protection, and insurers use it to set credits under Rule 69O-170.017. Citizens reports 1,738 personal multiperil and 937 personal wind-only policies in Collier as of September 30, 2026, per its county detail report.
Florida's documentary stamp tax on a deed is $0.70 per $100 of the price under section 201.02, Florida Statutes, and the purchase contract assigns who pays it. The association's estoppel certificate carries a fee capped by section 720.30851, and the contract also assigns that charge.
A seller of a residential home also gives the buyer the flood disclosure under section 689.302, Florida Statutes, at or before contract. The form asks whether the seller has filed a flood claim with any insurer, the NFIP among them, and whether the seller has received federal flood assistance. A seller who owned through Hurricanes Ian and Milton answers both questions from records, not memory.
A buyer at The Landings at Bears Paw builds the budget from five documents before the inspection period ends: the association budget and estoppel certificate, the club's membership terms, a flood quote built on the home's elevation certificate, a wind and homeowners quote built on a current wind mitigation report, and the property tax method for a new owner.
The tax bill the seller pays is not the bill a buyer will pay, because Florida resets the assessment after a sale. Dock upkeep and lift service are ordinary costs on a river lot, and a seller's service records show what they ran.
The Landings at Bears Paw homes are taxed in Collier County's unincorporated area, not the City of Naples, and a buyer's assessment resets to just value on January 1 after purchase. Homestead, the Save Our Homes cap and portability then shape the bill, and this guide prints no tax estimate, no dollar tax figure and no total millage.
Data updated: November 2026 (Florida Department of Revenue, Table 1 for Collier, tax year 2025; Florida Statutes sections 193.155 and 196.031, read November 10, 2026).
A Florida tax bill is the assessed value, less exemptions, times the millage of each taxing body that reaches the parcel, plus any non-ad valorem assessments. The Collier County Tax Collector's bill for the specific parcel is the final word.
The Florida Department of Revenue's Table 1 for Collier shows the countywide Collier County levy at 3.0107 mills for 2025 and a second county levy of 0.6844 mills, which reaches unincorporated land such as Vinland Way. The City of Naples levy of 1.2300 mills does not apply on Vinland Way.
The school board's adopted 2025 to 2026 rate is 4.2490 mills, per the district's adopted budget. The South Florida Water Management District set 0.0948 mills district-wide and 0.0978 for the Big Cypress Basin. The Collier Mosquito Control District and the fire district for the address add lines of their own.
Under section 193.155, Florida Statutes, a homestead is assessed at just value as of January 1 of the year after a change of ownership. A Landings seller who held a homestead for years may carry an assessment well under just value, and that gap ends at the sale.
The buyer's first full bill reflects the new assessment, the buyer's own exemptions and that year's millage. A buyer estimates from just value and the current rates, not from the seller's bill.
Under section 196.031, Florida Statutes, a Florida homestead is exempt from all taxation on the first $25,000 of assessed value, except assessments for special benefits. A second exemption of up to $25,000 applies to assessed value over $50,000 for every levy except school district levies, and that second amount is adjusted each January 1 for inflation.
The Florida Department of Revenue says the homestead exemption can reduce taxable value by as much as $50,000 and qualifies the home for the Save Our Homes limit. An owner applies with the Collier County Property Appraiser.
Section 193.155 caps the annual increase in a homestead's assessed value at the lower of 3 percent or the prior year's change in the consumer price index.
Portability lets an owner carry that benefit to a new Florida homestead: up to $500,000 of the difference moves when the owner establishes the new homestead within 3 years, per section 193.155. A Landings owner moving from another Florida homestead can bring a benefit in, and a Landings seller buying again in Florida can take one out, with the filing made through the property appraiser.
The Landings at Bears Paw sits outside the land the City of Naples annexed in 1993: that referendum took in part of Section 26, and the Landings plat lies in Section 35. Vinland Way is in unincorporated Collier County, even though most of Bear's Paw Country Club's condominiums are inside the City of Naples.
Data updated: November 2026 (City of Naples annexation records; Collier County Board of County Commissioners minutes, December 8, 2015; FEMA flood map community records; Florida Department of Revenue Table 1, read November 10, 2026).
Federal flood records agree on the line. FEMA's flood map assigns Vinland Way to Collier County's flood program, community 120067, while the Bears Paw condominiums on Wildwood Lane and Bears Paw Trail fall in the City of Naples program. The Naples mailing address does not change that.
City of Naples ordinance records show a mail-ballot annexation referendum held on November 2, 1993, which passed 112 to 67. The annexation ordinance described Bear's Paw as part of the south half of Section 26, Township 49 South, Range 25 East, and a later ordinance redrew the city boundary to take in Bear's Paw.
The Landings land lies in Section 35, the next section south, so the 1993 vote did not reach it. That is why the club's older condominium and villa neighborhoods and The Landings sit in different jurisdictions while sharing a club, a ZIP code and the Bear's Paw name in everyday use.
The Collier County Board of County Commissioners, not the Naples City Council, approved the minor final plat of Landings at Bears Paw Replat One on December 8, 2015, as a consent agenda item. The commission's minutes place the replat in Section 35, Township 49 South, Range 25 East.
County approval is the step the county uses for land outside city limits, so the plat record and the map records point the same way.
The tax bill is the clearest difference. The City of Naples levy of 1.2300 mills, per the Department of Revenue's 2025 table, applies to the Bears Paw condominiums inside the city and not to Vinland Way, which carries the county's 0.6844-mill levy for unincorporated land instead.
Building permits, inspections and code enforcement for a Landings home run through Collier County, not the City of Naples Building Department. The flood program differs too: Vinland Way sits in Collier County's NFIP community 120067, while the city parts of Bear's Paw sit in community 125130, and the county's Class 5 rating sets the flood policy discount for The Landings.
The Collier County Sheriff's Office is the law enforcement agency for unincorporated Collier County, which places Vinland Way in its service area.
Fire service comes from the county's fire district for the address, and the district's name is not stated in any source we reviewed; the tax bill for the specific parcel names it on its own line. Buyers reading that bill see the fire district's levy beside the county, school, water management and mosquito control lines.
The Landings at Bears Paw sits in FEMA flood Zone AE, inside the special flood hazard area, with a base flood elevation of 9.0 feet NAVD88 at both ends of Vinland Way on panels 12021C0391J and 12021C0392J, effective February 8, 2024. Each home's elevation certificate, not the street, sets its flood rating.
Data updated: November 2026 (FEMA's flood map, panels 12021C0391J and 12021C0392J, effective February 8, 2024; Collier County's March 2026 flood protection newsletter).
Point checked on Vinland Way | Flood zone | Base flood elevation | FIRM panel |
|---|---|---|---|
West end | AE (coastal floodplain) | 9.0 feet NAVD88 | 12021C0391J |
Between the two ends | AE (coastal floodplain) | 9.0 feet NAVD88 | 12021C0391J |
East end | AE (coastal floodplain) | 9.0 feet NAVD88 | 12021C0392J |
Zone AE covers all three points checked on Vinland Way. FEMA labels it a coastal floodplain inside the special flood hazard area, the area mapped for the 1 percent annual chance flood, with a base flood elevation and no floodway.
A small Zone X area, which FEMA calls an area of minimal flood hazard, lies near the street, but none of the checked points fall in it. Read the zone for one home by its exact address and confirm it with the elevation certificate.
The base flood elevation is the height FEMA expects water to reach in the 1 percent annual chance flood, here on the NAVD88 datum. The elevation certificate records the home's lowest floor on the same datum, and a flood insurer compares the two.
Collier County requires new machinery such as air conditioners and generators to sit one foot over the base flood elevation, per its 2026 newsletter. Floor elevations for individual Landings homes are not published; ask the seller for the certificate.
FEMA's records show three Letters of Map Revision based on Fill for Landings lots, dated December 1, 2015, February 22, 2017 and December 21, 2018. Each removed portions of filled lots from the special flood hazard area under the older maps.
FEMA now marks all three "Superseded." The maps of February 8, 2024 show the lots in Zone AE with a 9.0-foot base flood elevation, so a buyer asks a flood insurance professional whether a new Letter of Map Amendment is worth seeking for a specific home.
The certificate is the document a flood insurer uses to rate a home. Collier County says a property in the special flood hazard area with a federally backed mortgage must carry flood insurance, and a new National Flood Insurance Program policy usually has a 30-day waiting period.
Ask for the certificate early in the inspection period, so the flood quote and the wind quote arrive before the deposit goes hard.
Unincorporated Collier County, the flood insurance community for Vinland Way, holds Class 5 in FEMA's Community Rating System, a 25 percent discount on eligible NFIP policies, per the county's March 2026 newsletter. The county has participated since October 1992.
FEMA's Community Rating System guide explains that under Risk Rating 2.0 the discount applies to the full-risk premium. The City of Naples is a separate community with its own class, which matters for the Bears Paw condominiums, not Vinland Way.
Since October 1, 2024, a Florida home seller gives the buyer a flood disclosure at or before contract under section 689.302, Florida Statutes. It asks whether the seller filed a flood damage claim with any insurer, such as the NFIP, or received federal flood assistance, such as from FEMA.
The rule came from House Bill 1049 (2024). A Shutts and Bowen summary describes a 2025 expansion, SB 948, effective October 1, 2025, so sellers read the current text with their attorney.
The Landings at Bears Paw sits on the Gordon River about 2 miles upstream of the U.S. 41 bridge, where a USGS sensor peaked at 7.1 feet NAVD88 during Hurricane Ian in 2022. Federal reports describe major surge flooding along the Gordon River, and they do not describe Vinland Way itself.
Data updated: November 2026 (National Hurricane Center Tropical Cyclone Report for Hurricane Ian; National Weather Service Miami summaries for Ian and Milton).
The National Hurricane Center's Hurricane Ian report says maximum inundation of 6 to 9 feet over ground level occurred in Naples, and the Naples Pier tide gauge measured 6.18 feet over Mean Higher High Water before it was destroyed.
The same report counts 33 buildings destroyed and over 3,500 with major damage in Collier County. Those are county figures and name no street.
The USGS sensor on the Gordon River bridge at U.S. 41 measured 7.1 feet NAVD88, and high water marks near it measured 4 to 5 feet over ground level, per the hurricane center. The report also notes flooding reports at the Naples airport.
That reading shares the NAVD88 datum of the 9.0-foot base flood elevation on Vinland Way, but the sensor sits about 2 miles downstream, so it is a river reading, not a reading at The Landings.
The National Weather Service Miami Ian summary reports extensive surge flooding in Collier County near the Gordon River and connecting creeks and canals, and significant to major surge flooding along the Gordon River and Rock Creek south and west of the Naples airport.
It lists a 105 mph gust at the Naples Airport tower, says wind damage was mainly to trees, fences and screens, and puts Collier's damage at $2.2 billion, $948 million of it in unincorporated Collier.
Milton made landfall near Siesta Key on October 9, 2024, as a Category 3 storm with 120 mph winds, well north of Naples. The National Weather Service Miami Milton summary reports a storm tide of around 5 feet over Mean Higher High Water along the Collier coast.
The highest gauge reading was 5.08 feet at Naples Bay North. The hurricane center's Milton report holds the full record.
Four records answer it: the seller's flood disclosure under section 689.302, the county permit history for repairs after 2022 and 2024, the seller's insurance claim history and the elevation certificate. Ask for all four before the inspection period ends.
The USGS Flood Event Viewer shows high water marks surveyed after each storm. What happened on Vinland Way itself is not in the federal reports, so the home's own documents answer it.
The Landings at Bears Paw homes, on the county roll from 2016 to 2024, sit between the 160 and 170 mph contours on the Florida Building Code wind map and clear the post-March 1, 2002 code line on Florida's wind mitigation form. Flood coverage follows the Zone AE map, and My Safe Florida Home grants do not apply.
Data updated: November 2026 (Florida Building Code wind map, ASCE 7-22 Risk Category II; form OIR-B1-1802 (Rev. 04/26); section 215.5586, Florida Statutes; Citizens Property Insurance Detail by County, September 30, 2026).
No premium appears in this guide, because a premium depends on the carrier, the policy form and the home's own inspection and elevation records.
Vinland Way lies between 160 and 170 mph on the Florida Building Code wind map for Risk Category II, the category for homes. The ASCE Hazard Tool gives a point figure for one address, and the state wind mitigation form points inspectors to it.
The 8th Edition (2023) of the code took effect December 31, 2023. Each Landings home was designed under the edition in force on its permit date, which its permit record shows.
Yes, by the code's own rule. A Risk Category II building is in the wind-borne debris region within 1 mile of the coastal mean high water line where the design wind speed is 130 mph or more, or anywhere it is 140 mph or more, as the 2024 technical amendment summary restates it.
At 160 to 170 mph, Vinland Way falls in it. Ask for the window, door and garage door product records, because opening protection is a feature the wind mitigation inspector records.
The inspection form is now OIR-B1-1802 (Rev. 04/26). Its first question asks whether the home was built under the 2001 Florida Building Code or later, and a 2002 or 2003 home needs a permit application dated after March 1, 2002. Every Landings home on the roll postdates that line.
The form adds Region and Roof Slope questions and stays valid up to five years without material changes. Citizens explains the change in its form notice; discounts follow Rule 69O-170.017 and vary by insurer.
No. Under section 215.5586, Florida Statutes, the permit application for the home's initial construction must have been made before January 1, 2008, and Landings homes carry roll years of 2016 to 2024, so they do not qualify for the grant.
The program site describes its inspections and grants, and WUSF reported the program reopened August 4, 2025 with $352 million, limited to low and moderate income homeowners.
Citizens Property Insurance reported 1,738 personal residential multiperil policies and 937 wind-only policies in force in Collier County as of September 30, 2026, in its Detail by County report, and 215,397 policies statewide as of November 6, 2026.
Citizens posts its four-point, roof and wind mitigation forms on its inspections page. Whether other carriers will write one Vinland Way home comes from an independent broker's quote.
The Landings at Bears Paw addresses on Vinland Way appear in the district's school zoning tool for 2026-27 with Poinciana Elementary, Gulfview Middle and Naples High, and each school was graded A for 2025-26 in the district's grades report. Zones are reviewed every year, so confirm any address with the district.
Data updated: November 2026 (Collier County Public Schools zoning tool, 2026-27; district 2025-2026 School and District Grades report, July 2026; road estimates from Vinland Way measured November 10, 2026).
School | 2021-22 | 2022-23 | 2023-24 | 2024-25 | 2025-26 | About minutes by road |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Poinciana Elementary | B | A | B | A | A | Not measured |
Gulfview Middle | A | A | A | A | A | 11 |
Naples High | B | B | B | A | A | 8 |
The district's school zoning tool lists Poinciana Elementary, Gulfview Middle and Naples High for 2026-27 at both ends of Vinland Way and every other street record checked, so the street returns one set of schools. No rezoning was pending for 2026-27.
A listing is not a promise. Enter the exact address in the district's tool for the year a student will attend, and keep the result with the contract file.
The district's 2025-2026 School and District Grades report shows an A for all three in 2025-26. Gulfview Middle earned an A in each of the five years shown; Poinciana moved between A and B; Naples High posted three B grades before two A grades.
The report gives the district an A for the ninth consecutive year and shows 51 of 52 traditional public schools with an A or B.
St. Ann Catholic School, a member of the Diocese of Venice since 1956, is about 12 minutes by road. The Community School of Naples, founded in 1982 on a 77-acre campus, PreK-3 to Grade 12, is about 15 minutes.
Seacrest Country Day School, founded in 1983 on a 40-acre campus, Pre-K to 12, is about 16 minutes. Admissions and tuition are each school's to state.
The Landings at Bears Paw is about 10 minutes by road from NCH Baker Hospital and about 19 minutes from NCH North Naples Hospital. Vinland Way is in unincorporated Collier County, even though most of Bear's Paw Country Club's condominiums are inside the City of Naples, so the Collier County Sheriff's Office patrols it.
Data updated: November 2026 (road estimates from Vinland Way measured November 10, 2026, free-flowing traffic; FEMA's flood map community record, Collier County community 120067).
NCH Baker Hospital in downtown Naples is the nearest by road, about 10 minutes away. NCH, a locally governed nonprofit, says its two hospitals, NCH Baker and NCH North, have 713 beds in total.
A drive time is a planning figure. An emergency call goes to 911, and the ambulance crew chooses the destination.
Physicians Regional Pine Ridge is about 15 minutes by road, NCH North Naples Hospital about 19 and Physicians Regional Collier Boulevard about 21.
Which hospital a patient uses depends on the condition, the insurance plan and the physician, so this guide ranks none of them.
The Collier County Sheriff's Office, because The Landings is in unincorporated Collier County; FEMA's records place Vinland Way in Collier County's flood insurance community, 120067. The Collier County Commission, not the City, approved the replat of The Landings on December 8, 2015.
The City of Naples annexed Bear's Paw by a 1993 referendum, and the Bears Paw condominiums on Wildwood Lane and Bears Paw Trail are inside the city, so members of one club can have different police, permit and tax arrangements.
Fire and rescue on Vinland Way comes from the county's fire district for the address, not the City of Naples fire department, because the street is outside the city. The district's name and levy appear on each home's Collier tax bill.
The district for Vinland Way is not named in the records read for this guide; ask the seller for the latest tax bill to confirm it.
The Landings at Bears Paw is about 10 minutes by road from Fifth Avenue South, Naples Airport and NCH Baker Hospital, about 13 minutes from Waterside Shops and about 17 from Mercato, with Lowdermilk Park beach about 3.3 road miles away and Southwest Florida International Airport about 46 minutes off.
Data updated: November 2026 (road estimates from Vinland Way measured November 10, 2026, free-flowing traffic; Bear's Paw Country Club residential and directions pages).
Every drive leaves Vinland Way by Vinland Drive to Golden Gate Parkway, and in-season traffic adds time.

Lowdermilk Park is about 11 minutes and 3.3 road miles away, and the Doctors Pass and Moorings beach area about 10 minutes. Bear's Paw Country Club's residential page puts Naples Beach 3 miles from the club.
Naples Pier is about 14 minutes, Clam Pass Park 16 and Vanderbilt Beach 19. Parking rules belong to each beach's operator.
Fifth Avenue South, which runs from the Tamiami Trail to the Gulf in Old Naples, is about 10 minutes and 3.9 road miles away. Third Street South is about 13 minutes and Naples Pier about 14.
Coastland Center is about 8 minutes away, Waterside Shops about 13 and Mercato about 17.
Naples Airport is about 10 minutes and 3.2 road miles away; its authority describes U.S. Customs clearance for international arrivals and more than 100,000 general aviation takeoffs and landings a year.
Southwest Florida International Airport is about 46 minutes and 33.6 road miles away; the club gives 31 miles. Bear's Paw's directions page routes drivers from I-75 Exit 105 west on Golden Gate Parkway.
The Landings at Bears Paw sits on 10.5 acres between the Bear's Paw golf course, the Gordon River and the Gordon River Greenway, according to the developer, and Bear's Paw Country Club puts Naples Zoo 0.5 mile away. The Conservancy of Southwest Florida campus is about 0.5 mile away in a straight line.
Data updated: November 2026 (Headwaters Development community page; Bear's Paw Country Club residential and real estate pages; Naples Zoo history page; Conservancy of Southwest Florida site, read November 10, 2026).
The Gordon River Greenway is a Collier County park along the river beside Bear's Paw. The club's residential page calls it "the new Greenway Park located adjacent to Bear's Paw," and the builder's project page puts its northeast node on Golden Gate Parkway just west of the Bear's Paw development.
The developer's community page names the Greenway as one edge of The Landings, with the golf course and the Gordon River.
Naples Zoo traces its site to 1919, when Dr. Henry Nehrling acquired it for his Tropical Garden. Julius Fleischmann restored it from 1952, and it reopened as Caribbean Gardens by 1954, per the zoo's history page.
The zoo occupies 43 acres. In 2004, 73 percent of voters approved the public land purchase, and it has held AZA accreditation since 2001. It is about 7 minutes by road.
The Conservancy of Southwest Florida campus is about 0.5 mile from Vinland Way in a straight line and about 8 minutes by road. When checked, its site listed the Nature Center as temporarily closed for construction.
The site also describes a Rookery Bay eco-cruise and planned electric boat tours. Schedules and admission are the Conservancy's to state.
The club's real estate page says members are within a quarter mile of Freedom Park, Naples Zoo, Baker Park and Greenway Park, and its residential page mentions walking and jogging paths.
Freedom Park sits across Golden Gate Parkway from the Greenway's north end. Our Bear's Paw guide and Naples guide cover the wider area.
The Landings at Bears Paw is a 22-home enclave on Vinland Way in unincorporated Collier County beside an 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature course, while Grey Oaks shares the 34105 ZIP code with three courses and Wyndemere offers 27 holes by Arthur Hills. Kensington, The Moorings, Coquina Sands and Royal Harbor complete the nearby comparison.
Data updated: November 2026 (county roll, file dated October 27, 2026; Collier County recorded sales, qualified sales over $100,000, Collier sale-date end October 16, 2026; club and course designer sites, read November 10, 2026).

Grey Oaks shares the 34105 ZIP code and the Golden Gate Parkway corridor, and the Grey Oaks club describes three distinct courses. Bear's Paw has one 18-hole course and, on its membership page, 352 members.
The Landings is one street of 22 detached homes on three recorded plats, so a buyer weighing the two compares club structure, flood zone and jurisdiction by address.
Wyndemere offers 27 holes designed by Arthur Hills, against the 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature course at Bear's Paw that Nicklaus Design restored in 2015.
Landings membership terms come from its declaration and the Bear's Paw club office, and Wyndemere's from its own documents, so read both before comparing costs.
None of the three is a golf community. The voluntary Moorings Property Owners Association describes The Moorings as about 730 acres excluding waterways, with about 875 houses and 82 condominium buildings. Coquina Sands lies along Gulf Shore Boulevard.
Royal Harbor has a homeowners group, Royal Harbor Association Inc, listed as a registered nonprofit on GuideStar. Boating buyers compare bridge clearances by address.
The Landings holds detached homes from 2016 to 2024 in unincorporated Collier County; the Bears Paw condominiums date from the 1980s, led by Bears Paw Condominium I with 180 units from 1981 and 1982, and sit inside the City of Naples.
Since November 1, 2024, county records show 17 qualified sales at Bears Paw Condominium I from $600,000 to $1,075,000, 4 at Bears Paw Villas from $735,000 to $1,100,000, 2 at Bears Paw Lakeview One from $685,000 to $705,000 and 1 at Bears Paw Villas 7 at $900,000 (qualified sales over $100,000, Collier sale-date end October 16, 2026). These are other Bears Paw condominiums, not Landings homes.
The Landings at Bears Paw offers homes on the county roll from 2016 to 2024, a median county heated area of 3,076 square feet and a location about 10 minutes from Fifth Avenue South. It also carries Zone AE flood questions, a 10-foot bridge limit for boats and a thin record of 4 qualified sales in 60 months.
Data updated: November 2026 (county roll, file dated October 27, 2026; Collier County recorded sales, qualified sales over $100,000, Collier sale-date end October 16, 2026; FEMA's flood map; NOAA Coast Pilot 5).
Each row states a fact and leaves the weighing to the reader. MLS figures for active listings, list-to-sale ratios and days on market were not pulled for this edition.
Advantage | The fact behind it |
|---|---|
Newer construction | County roll years 2016 to 2024, all past the March 1, 2002 code line on form OIR-B1-1802 |
Larger floor plans | County heated area 2,552 to 4,360 square feet; median 3,076; 14 of 22 homes at 3,000 square feet or more |
Central location | About 10 minutes by road to Fifth Avenue South, Naples Airport and NCH Baker Hospital |
Club next door | Jack Nicklaus Signature course restored by Nicklaus Design in 2015; clubhouse opened November 1, 2019 |
Green edges | 10.5 acres between the golf course, the Gordon River and the Greenway, per the developer; Naples Zoo 0.5 mile away, per the club |
Drawback | The fact behind it |
|---|---|
Flood zone | Zone AE, 9.0-foot NAVD88 base flood elevation; a federally backed mortgage requires flood insurance |
River storm record | In Ian, the USGS sensor at the U.S. 41 Gordon River bridge, about 2 miles downstream, peaked at 7.1 feet NAVD88 |
Boat clearance | The U.S. 41 bridge over the Gordon River is a fixed span with about 10 feet of vertical clearance |
Few sales | 4 qualified sales in 60 months, $4,150,000 to $6,650,000; 1 in the last 12 months, $4,150,000 |
Unpublished costs | No HOA fee figure or current club membership terms are published; My Safe Florida Home grants do not apply |

The record shows age, size, location and setting. Every home carries a roll year from 2016 to 2024, 14 of the 22 have 3,000 square feet or more of county heated area, and Fifth Avenue South, Naples Airport and NCH Baker Hospital are each about 10 minutes away.
Next door, the Jack Nicklaus Signature course at Bear's Paw reopened after a Nicklaus Design restoration on November 1, 2015, as Nicklaus Design reported.
The record shows flood, water access and thin data. Zone AE makes flood insurance a lender requirement for a federally backed loan, and the National Weather Service reported major surge flooding along the Gordon River in Ian.
Boats pass under the U.S. 41 bridge, which NOAA's Coast Pilot 5 lists as a fixed span with 10 feet of clearance, with Gordon Pass about 2.5 miles past the bridge. Four sales in 60 months support no median price and no trend.
Seven records, each answering one question about one home:
The developer's 2019 sales site said every Landings owner holds a "Landings Membership" at Bear's Paw Country Club, with club facilities, limited golf in season and full golf optional. Whether that still applies, and its cost, comes from the declaration and the club office.
County records show 11 first-generation qualified sales from 2015 to 2017, from $1,493,700 to $2,954,800, and 2 in the 36 months to October 16, 2026, from $4,150,000 to $5,800,000 (qualified sales over $100,000, Collier sale-date end October 16, 2026).
With fewer than 10 sales in any window, the price comes from the home itself, its condition, lot and records. Owners can start with a Naples home valuation or read how we sell homes in Naples.
Landings at Bears Paw sellers should choose a team that prices from Collier County's recorded sales rather than a portal estimate. If you're searching for the best listing agent at The Landings at Bears Paw, McGreevy and Comisar prices each home by build year, county heated area, setting, flood zone and the county record.
Data updated: November 2026 (Collier County recorded sales, qualified sales over $100,000, Collier sale-date end October 16, 2026, county roll file dated October 27, 2026, our analysis).
We read the Collier County roll for all 22 homes on the three Landings at Bears Paw plats and every qualified sale the county file holds for them: 4 qualified sales in the last 60 months, from $4,150,000 to $6,650,000. Read what we bring as some of the best real estate agents in Naples.
Collier County records 1 qualified sale at The Landings at Bears Paw in the 12 months to October 16, 2026, at $4,150,000, and that same single sale in the 24 months to that date. In 36 months the county recorded 2 qualified sales, from $4,150,000 to $5,800,000, and in 60 months 4 qualified sales, from $4,150,000 to $6,650,000 (qualified sales over $100,000, Collier sale-date end October 16, 2026). The first-generation closings, 2015 to 2017, were 11 qualified sales from $1,493,700 to $2,954,800. These counts are far too few for a median or a per-foot figure, so read them as the county record, not a forecast.
MLS figures for active listings, list-to-sale ratios and days on market were not pulled for this edition. Every sale price here is a Collier County qualified recorded sale; a sale the county did not mark as qualified, a sale under $100,000 and any sale recorded after mid-October 2026 are not in these figures.

We give no number for one home without looking at it. We build it from Collier County's qualified recorded sales, starting with the build year, the county heated area (2,552 to 4,360 square feet across the 22 homes, with a median of 3,076), the Gordon River or golf-course setting, the flood zone and the documented changes. With 4 qualified sales in 60 months, each comparison carries weight, and a county just value is not a sale price.

Price from the county record, then gather the deed, the survey, permits, the elevation certificate, the wind mitigation report, the insurance declarations including flood, the latest tax bill and the association's documents. Because the association is a Chapter 720 homeowners' association, it issues an estoppel certificate under section 720.30851, and the buyer receives the disclosure summary under section 720.401. Read how we sell a home in Naples.
The county file records closing dates, not days on market. It shows 11 qualified first-generation sales from 2015 to 2017, then 4 qualified sales in the 60 months to October 16, 2026, and 1 in the last 12 months. MLS figures for active listings, list-to-sale ratios and days on market were not pulled for this edition, and we make no forecast of how long your home will take.
The deed and title information, the survey, permits for any change to the home, the elevation certificate, the wind mitigation report on the current OIR-B1-1802 form, the insurance declarations including flood, the latest tax bill, the HOA declaration, budget and rules, any dock records, and the club's written terms for your membership. Order the estoppel certificate early, because the association has 10 business days to issue it.
The flood zone (Zone AE, base flood elevation 9.0 feet NAVD88 on the 2024 FEMA maps), the elevation certificate, the club membership and what the declaration says about it, the boating route under the U.S. 41 bridge, the HOA charges and the tax bill after a sale. We answer each from a record: FEMA's flood map, the declaration, the club office, NOAA's Coast Pilot and the Collier County tax bill.

Landings at Bears Paw buyers ask where Vinland Way is, whether it is inside the City of Naples, how the club membership works, what the flood map says, how a boat reaches the Gulf and what homes have sold for. Each answer draws on a county record, a public statute or a primary source.
Data updated: November 2026 (Collier County recorded sales, qualified sales over $100,000, Collier sale-date end October 16, 2026, county roll file dated October 27, 2026; FEMA flood map panels 12021C0391J and 12021C0392J, effective February 8, 2024; district school zoning tool, 2026-27).
All 22 homes are on Vinland Way, Naples 34105, on three recorded plats: LANDINGS AT BEARS PAW, LANDINGS AT BEARS PAW REPL 1 and LANDINGS AT BEARS PAW L10 REP LOT 10 REPLAT, plus common-area tracts. The developer describes the 10.5-acre site as lying between the Bear's Paw golf course, the Gordon River and the Gordon River Greenway (Headwaters Development), beside Bear's Paw Country Club.
Vinland Way is in unincorporated Collier County, even though most of Bear's Paw Country Club's condominiums are inside the City of Naples. The City annexed Bear's Paw by a 1993 referendum, and the Collier County Commission, not the City, approved the Landings replat on December 8, 2015. FEMA lists the street under community 120067, Collier County, and the Collier County Sheriff's Office serves it.
The developer's 2019 sales site said every Landings owner holds a "Landings Membership" at Bear's Paw Country Club, giving club facilities with limited golf in season, with full golf optional. Whether that membership is still required today, and what it costs, is set in the recorded declaration and by the club office at 239-263-3007. The club's membership page gives its own description.
Bear's Paw Country Club's 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature course opened in December 1980 at 2500 Golden Gate Parkway, and a Nicklaus Design restoration reopened it November 1, 2015 (Nicklaus Design). The club is member-owned, with 352 members, and members took ownership in 1985, per the club. The course plays to par 72 per golf course directories (GolfPass).
The developer describes Gordon River frontage, but any trip to the Gulf passes under the U.S. 41 bridge over the Gordon River, a fixed span with about 10 feet of vertical clearance, and Gordon Pass lies about 2.5 miles down Naples Bay from that bridge, per NOAA's Coast Pilot 5. Boat height, the tide and the HOA's dock rules decide what works.
FEMA's flood map places both ends of Vinland Way in Zone AE with a base flood elevation of 9.0 feet NAVD88, on panels 12021C0391J and 12021C0392J, effective February 8, 2024. The developer's fill-based map revisions from 2015, 2017 and 2018 are superseded by those maps, so ask for each home's elevation certificate before you write an offer.
Headwaters Development developed The Landings at Bears Paw, MHK Architecture & Planning designed the homes, and FrontDoor Communities is named as builder, with land planning by Architectural Land Design and engineering by JR Evans Engineering. The developer calls the style "coastal contemporary" and reports the community sold out. A Southwest Florida business report calls it the developer's first project.
The county roll shows heated area from 2,552 to 4,360 square feet, with a median of 3,076 square feet, and 14 of the 22 homes at 3,000 square feet or more. County roll years run from 2016 to 2024. That is the county's heated-area field, which can differ from the living area a listing shows.
LANDINGS AT BEAR'S PAW HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION, INC. is an active Florida not-for-profit corporation filed in 2014, with Sentry Management as registered agent, and Chapter 720, Florida Statutes governs it. No fee figure is published, so read the current budget and the estoppel certificate, which states the assessments owed on the home.
The district's school zoning tool lists Poinciana Elementary, Gulfview Middle and Naples High for Vinland Way for 2026-27, and each was graded A for 2025-26 in the district's grades report. Zones are reviewed every year, so confirm with the district. Private schools nearby include Seacrest Country Day School, Community School of Naples and St. Ann Catholic School.
By road without traffic, it is about 10 minutes to Fifth Avenue South, Naples Airport and NCH Baker Hospital, about 13 to Waterside Shops, 17 to Mercato, 19 to NCH North and 46 to Southwest Florida International Airport. Lowdermilk Park beach is about 3.3 miles away, and the club puts the Naples Zoo 0.5 miles from Bear's Paw.
Collier County records 1 qualified sale in the 12 months to October 16, 2026, at $4,150,000; 2 in 36 months, from $4,150,000 to $5,800,000; and 4 in 60 months, from $4,150,000 to $6,650,000 (qualified sales over $100,000, Collier sale-date end October 16, 2026). MLS figures for active listings, list-to-sale ratios and days on market were not pulled for this edition.
Landings at Bears Paw sellers ask what a home is worth when only a few sell, what the flood and HOA rules require, what happens to the club membership and how taxes reset for a buyer. Each answer draws on a county record, a public statute or our analysis, and where a figure is not published we print none.
Data updated: November 2026 (Collier County recorded sales, qualified sales over $100,000, Collier sale-date end October 16, 2026, county roll file dated October 27, 2026; FEMA flood map panels 12021C0391J and 12021C0392J, effective February 8, 2024; Florida Statutes, read November 10, 2026; our analysis).
Price from the county's qualified recorded sales and your home's build year, county heated area, setting and condition; gather the elevation certificate, permits, the wind mitigation report and the insurance declarations; and ask the association for its declaration, budget and rules. Then read the club's written terms for your membership. Start with our free home valuation.
Carefully, and from more than one sale. Collier County records 4 qualified sales at The Landings at Bears Paw in the 60 months to October 16, 2026, from $4,150,000 to $6,650,000, which is too few for a median or a per-foot figure. We read each sale against your home's size, build year and setting, and our Naples home valuation page explains the method we use instead of a portal estimate.
One. Collier County recorded 1 qualified sale in the 12 months to October 16, 2026, at $4,150,000, and the same single sale in 24 months (qualified sales over $100,000, Collier sale-date end October 16, 2026). MLS figures for active listings, list-to-sale ratios and days on market were not pulled for this edition.
The first-generation closings from 2015 to 2017 were 11 qualified sales, from $1,493,700 to $2,954,800, per Collier County recorded sales. In the 60 months to October 16, 2026 the 4 qualified sales ran from $4,150,000 to $6,650,000. We draw no appreciation figure from the two sets, because the homes, sizes and dates differ and the counts are small.
The developer's 2019 site plan described 14 homes on the Gordon River and 8 facing the Bear's Paw golf course. The county record holds too few sales to separate the two groups, so we print no difference for either. We price each home from its own lot, setting, dock records, size and condition, and we show the buyer the documents behind each point.
A county just value is the county's assessed estimate used for the tax bill, set as of a January 1 date. A sale price is what a buyer and seller agreed on a particular day. The two are different measures, so we price from qualified recorded sales and do not treat the county's value as a price.
We think it is the team that prices from the county record and reads the HOA, club and flood documents first. Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar are Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, and we read the county roll for all 22 homes and every qualified sale on the three plats. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.
We price from Collier County's qualified recorded sales and put the elevation certificate, the wind mitigation report, the permit history, the HOA documents and the club's written membership terms in front of a buyer first, with clear answers on the flood map and the boating route under the U.S. 41 bridge. Read how we sell a home in Naples.
We price from the record and the current market rather than a seasonal claim, and we state no seasonal sales pattern for The Landings at Bears Paw, where the county recorded 1 qualified sale in the last 12 months. Tell us when you want to move, and we plan the listing around the documents a buyer will ask for.
Furniture is a term of the contract, not a feature of the community, so you and the buyer decide it in writing. We make no claim that a furnished sale changes a price, and any furniture, golf cart or equipment that stays with the home should be named in the contract.
No source we read requires one, and the buyer's lender and insurer decide what they ask for. For homes built from 2016 to 2024, a four-point report and a wind mitigation report on the current form are common requests, and Citizens says most inspections may be done by a qualified Florida-licensed inspector using current forms (Citizens inspections).
Often, because the buyer's insurer prices wind protection from it. The Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection Form is now OIR-B1-1802 (Rev. 04/26), valid for up to five years if no material changes are made (the revised form); Citizens posted a bulletin on the form changes, and Rule 69O-170.017 sets windstorm mitigation discounts. Citizens reported 1,738 multiperil and 937 wind-only personal residential policies in Collier at September 30, 2026 (Citizens county detail).
Every Landings home on the roll was built from 2016 to 2024, under codes that took effect after March 1, 2002, the date the OIR-B1-1802 form uses for its building code question. The form also asks for the region from the ASCE wind map, which an inspector reads from the ASCE Hazard Tool. The discount itself depends on the insurer.
No. Under section 215.5586, Florida Statutes, a grant requires a building permit application for the home made before January 1, 2008, and Landings homes were built from 2016 to 2024, so they do not qualify. The program reopened in August 2025 with funds limited to low- and moderate-income homeowners, per WUSF.
Vinland Way lies between 160 and 170 mph on the Florida Building Code wind map, and an inspector confirms the point with the ASCE Hazard Tool. The Florida Building Commission's 2024 technical amendment summary describes the wind-borne debris region, which applies wherever the design wind speed is 140 mph or greater, so have the opening protection records ready.
Yes. Since October 1, 2024, section 689.302, Florida Statutes has required the seller of residential property to give the buyer a flood disclosure at or before the time the sales contract is signed. The law came from HB 1049 (2024), now Chapter 2024-215, Laws of Florida.
The form asks whether you have filed a claim for flood damage with any insurer, including the National Flood Insurance Program, and whether you have received federal flood assistance, including from FEMA, as the committee bill text shows. Central Florida Public Media explained the form when it took effect. Answer it from your own records.
A law firm summary from Shutts & Bowen reports that SB 948, Chapter 2025-166, expanded the disclosure from October 1, 2025. Read the current text of section 689.302 before you sign, and ask a real estate attorney which version of the form applies to your contract.
Yes. No document in our sources makes a certificate a condition of sale, but a buyer's insurer uses one to price flood insurance, and every buyer on Vinland Way asks for it. Both ends of the street are mapped Zone AE with a base flood elevation of 9.0 feet NAVD88, so a certificate showing the home's floor elevation answers the first question a buyer brings.
No. The developer's fill-based map revisions from 2015, 2017 and 2018 removed portions of lots from the flood hazard area on the older maps, and FEMA's flood map lists all three as superseded by the maps effective February 8, 2024, which place Vinland Way in Zone AE. A flood agent can say whether a new map amendment is worth requesting for a specific home.
Expect the question. The NHC Ian report records 6 to 9 feet of inundation in Naples, and the USGS sensor at the Gordon River bridge on U.S. 41, about 2 miles downstream of Vinland Way, peaked at 7.1 feet NAVD88 (USGS Flood Event Viewer); the NWS Ian summary reports major surge flooding along the Gordon River. For Milton, the NWS Milton summary and the NHC Milton report put about 5 feet on the Collier coast. Answer for your own home from your records.
Collier County, which serves Vinland Way, holds Community Rating System Class 5, worth a 25 percent discount on eligible National Flood Insurance Program policies, per the county's March 2026 floodplain newsletter; FEMA's CRS guide explains the class scale. We print no premium, because it depends on the home, its elevation certificate and the insurer.
Under Collier County's floodplain rules, an improvement or repair costing 50 percent or more of the building's market value before the work counts as a substantial improvement, and the building must then meet current elevation rules. A buyer who plans a large remodel of a Zone AE home should ask the county how it applies before a contract.
Section 720.401 requires the seller to give the buyer the HOA disclosure summary before the buyer signs the contract; if it is not given, the buyer may void the contract before closing. The summary states the mandatory membership in the association and the assessment obligations, so we prepare it with the listing.
Under section 720.30851, the association must issue an estoppel certificate within 10 business days of a request, stating the assessments owed, the paid-through date and other details a buyer and title agent rely on. State corporate records list Sentry Management as the association's registered agent, so ask the association where to send the request.
The developer's 2019 sales site said every Landings owner holds a "Landings Membership" at Bear's Paw Country Club, with full golf optional. What happens to that membership at a sale, and any charge a buyer pays to join, are set by the club's documents and the recorded declaration, so call the club office at 239-263-3007 and read the declaration before you list.
Florida deeds carry documentary stamp tax of $0.70 per $100 of the price under section 201.02, Florida Statutes, and who pays it is a term the buyer and seller set in the sales contract. Your closing agent or title company confirms the amount for your deed.
Usually not. Section 193.155 caps a homestead's yearly assessment increase at the lower of 3 percent or inflation, and the home is assessed at just value as of January 1 of the year after a change of ownership. The levies come from bodies such as Collier County, the school board, the Big Cypress Basin of the water management district and the Collier Mosquito Control District; the state's Collier levy table lists them.
The exemption under section 196.031 belongs to an owner's permanent residence, so it does not stay with the house: a buyer who makes the home a permanent residence applies for the buyer's own. The Florida Department of Revenue's property tax exemptions page explains the process.
Florida law lets a homestead owner carry the accrued Save Our Homes benefit to a new Florida homestead, which is called portability, and section 193.155 holds the cap and the time limit. We state no amount, because the benefit depends on your own assessed and just values, so read the statute and ask the property appraiser before you close.
It depends on how you used the home. IRS Topic 701 explains the exclusion for gain on the sale of a main home owned and used as the main home for 2 of the 5 years before the sale, and its limits. Ask a tax adviser before you set a closing date.
Use the plat name, The Landings at Bears Paw, on Vinland Way in Naples 34105, and say it is in unincorporated Collier County beside Bear's Paw Country Club. Describe the style as the developer did, "coastal contemporary", label heated area as the county's figure, and leave out any slip count, any Gulf claim without the 10-foot bridge limit and any style label no document supports.
