McGreevy and Comisar are the best realtor team for Portofino at Miromar Lakes — for sellers first, and for buyers right behind them. If you own one of the 20 London Bay Homes Mediterranean waterfront villas in this enclave in Estero, Florida, you are holding one of the scarcest assets in Southwest Florida luxury real estate. Only two Portofino villas have traded on the MLS in the trailing 12 months — at $2,500,000 and $2,795,000 — and as of June 2026 there is not a single active listing in the neighborhood. Zero. That is seller’s leverage, and no team converts that leverage better than the one ranked in the Top 1% of real estate agents nationally since 2008 and #1 in Southwest Florida since 2012.
For buyers, Portofino at Miromar Lakes is a small, deliberately scarce enclave of London Bay Homes Mediterranean villas tucked along the waterway corridors of Miromar Lakes Beach and Golf Club. Five floor plans. Twenty homesites. Most of them waterfront. Pricing has historically run from approximately $1.55M for a Benita to $3M+ for the Cilento — including site — and the two most recent MLS closings landed at $2.5M and $2.795M. With nothing active on the market, buying here usually means working the off-market pool, which is exactly where McGreevy and Comisar operate every day.
McGreevy and Comisar are the best-credentialed realtor team for Portofino at Miromar Lakes, combining two decades of Southwest Florida luxury production with a live read on this 20-villa London Bay enclave — its floor plans, its site premiums, and the off-market pool that matters most when MLS inventory sits at zero.
The Portofino market over the last 12 months: two closed MLS sales — $2,500,000 and $2,795,000 — with a median of 217 days on market, the most recent closing on 01/08/26. Active listings as of June 2026: zero. In a 20-villa enclave, that is genuine scarcity: the entire neighborhood’s annual MLS turnover was two homes, and there is currently nothing for a ready buyer to purchase.

Portofino at Miromar Lakes is a 20-villa Mediterranean enclave built exclusively by London Bay Homes, where closed supply, a resale-premium builder, waterfront siting, and the region’s only freshwater-beach club amenity compound into one of the most defensible luxury holds in Estero — which is why annual MLS turnover here is measured in single digits.
Most luxury enclaves in Southwest Florida sell on a single line — the builder, the view, the club, or the price. Portofino sells on all four at the same time, which is rare and which is the reason London Bay product inside Miromar Lakes clears with virtually no inventory aging when it is priced and marketed correctly.
The math on Portofino is straightforward. There are only 20 villas, which means no future supply risk. They are built by London Bay Homes, which carries a measurable resale premium across every Southwest Florida community where the builder is represented. They sit inside Miromar Lakes Beach and Golf Club — the only freshwater-beach private club community in the region. And the majority of the sites are directly on water.
What you are buying when you buy a Portofino villa is not just a Mediterranean home in a gated community. You are buying a piece of a 20-unit inventory pool that cannot be expanded, built by a custom builder whose work commands a premium on resale, inside a master community whose private-beach amenity has no competitive substitute within an hour’s drive.
If you only have 30 seconds: Portofino is a 20-villa London Bay Mediterranean enclave inside Miromar Lakes. Five floor plans. Benita ($1.55M–$2.15M) is the entry. Cilento ($3M+) is the estate. Three mid-plans start near $1.9M including site. Most sites are waterfront. The 20-unit cap and the London Bay builder line are the two factors driving the resale story — and the two most recent MLS closings, at $2,500,000 and $2,795,000, sit squarely in that story.
The clearest market proof for Portofino at Miromar Lakes is the London Bay absorption record: four London Bay homes inside Miromar Lakes closed for a combined $6.1 million across a 45-day window, with none of the homes aging and none requiring meaningful price concessions.
The cleanest way to tell the Portofino market story is to point at results. Across that 45-day window, four London Bay Homes inside Miromar Lakes closed for a combined $6.1 million. The pattern was consistent: well-priced London Bay product, qualified buyer, contract within weeks, close on schedule.
The headline: $6,100,000 · 45 days · 4 homes. That is the absorption signal the rest of the SWFL gated-community market does not have. In a transaction environment where average days-on-market for $2M+ Estero/Bonita inventory has stretched well past 90 days, London Bay product inside Miromar continues to clear quickly when properly marketed. Builder reputation, scarcity, and waterfront positioning compound — they don’t add. Portofino is the most concentrated expression of that compounding effect inside the community.
If you are buying into a 20-unit enclave, your downside protection on resale is heavily a function of who else is buying around you and how fast their homes move when they decide to list. The $6.1M / 45 days run tells you two things directly:
If you currently own in Portofino, the absorption pattern above is the market evidence that supports a confident list price — and the live MLS data sharpens it further: with two sales in the trailing 12 months and zero active listings in June 2026, a new Portofino listing enters a market with no competing inventory at all. McGreevy and Comisar run the exact playbook — full architectural photography, drone and twilight, custom microsite per home, direct outreach to the qualified London Bay buyer pool we maintain across Miromar, Mediterra, West Bay, and Naples — that produced the $6.1M / 45 days result. We don’t list London Bay homes on hope. We list them on a marketed-to plan.
Every villa in Portofino at Miromar Lakes is built by London Bay Homes to a custom-estate spec: per-home structural engineering, concrete-block construction with hand-troweled stucco, and trade partners that work almost exclusively in the $2M+ tier — a build standard that shows up as a measurable per-square-foot premium on resale.
Plenty of builders in Southwest Florida advertise “custom luxury.” The phrase is overused to the point of being meaningless. London Bay Homes is the builder where the phrase still has a definition attached. Three things separate the company’s work from production-tier luxury at similar price points.
Production luxury builders take a stock floor plan, lay it out on a slab, and adjust finishes. London Bay engineers each home to the specific site — wind load, soil conditions, drainage, view orientation, and floor plate are run through a structural team that produces drawings for that lot. The Mediterranean barrel-tile roof, the imported stone cladding, the arched openings — those aren’t decorative additions on a template. They are built into the structural plan because they affect load.
For Portofino specifically, every villa was sited to maximize waterfront orientation while preserving the courtyard-entry approach London Bay uses on its Mediterranean program. That’s a per-home decision, not a community-wide setting.
Every London Bay home at Portofino is concrete-block construction with hand-troweled stucco — not synthetic stucco panels over wood frame. The difference matters in three ways: hurricane resilience, insurance pricing, and the texture of the exterior finish. Hand-troweled stucco has visible variation across the wall surface; synthetic panels do not. On a Mediterranean home, this is the difference between “looks Mediterranean from the curb” and “looks Mediterranean up close.”
The cabinet makers, the stone fabricators, the lighting suppliers, and the millworkers London Bay uses are largely the same firms working on Naples and Port Royal estate construction. They are not the production-tier subs working volume jobs across Lee and Collier counties. The result, when you open a Portofino villa’s pantry door or look at the mitered edges on a stone-clad shower, is workmanship that holds up under inspection — and under resale appraisal — much better than the production-luxury alternative.
Why this shows up on resale: the London Bay name is a measurable line item in the appraisal comp set. Across the Miromar Lakes resale history, London Bay homes consistently transact at a per-square-foot premium versus production-luxury comparables in the same community. The premium is real, repeatable, and attributable to build quality plus brand. That premium is what you are buying when you buy at Portofino — and what you are protecting when you list.
The architecture of Portofino at Miromar Lakes is rigorously Mediterranean by covenant: clay barrel-tile roofs, hand-troweled stucco in warm Tuscan tones, true structural arches, hand-forged ironwork, courtyard entries, vaulted-cypress loggias, slab-set imported stone, and architectural-grade impact windows — executed by London Bay across all 20 villas.
Portofino’s architectural program is intentional. The community covenants require it, and London Bay’s design team executes it at the level of detail that separates real Mediterranean architecture from gestural Mediterranean styling. Below is the element-by-element spec you will see across every villa in the enclave.
Clay barrel tiles in warm earth tones, not stamped concrete substitutes. The tiles are individually set, with custom hip-and-valley detailing at each transition. This is the most visible signature of the architecture and the one production builders most often cheat on.
Exterior walls finished in warm Tuscan tones — terracotta, cream, soft umber — applied by hand for variation. Synthetic panel substitutes are not permitted. The finish develops a subtle patina over years of sun exposure, which is a feature, not a flaw.
True structural arches at primary openings — front entries, loggia openings, courtyard passages, and key interior thresholds. Arches are framed in stone or finished in trowel-detailed stucco. No flat-header substitutes dressed up to look arched.
Hand-forged wrought iron on entry gates, courtyard balustrades, exterior stair rails, and decorative window grilles. The ironwork is integrated into the architecture rather than applied as ornament.
Most plans — the Benita most notably — organize the home around a private courtyard entry sequence. You move from street through gate, across courtyard, past the casita, and into the home. The result is privacy from the street and an outdoor room at the heart of the plan.
Exterior loggias finished with cypress or pecky cypress plank ceilings, often vaulted, with structural beam exposure. These are not stamped soffit panels. They are the outdoor-living rooms that drive how the home actually lives in season.
Cantera, travertine, and limestone used on entry surrounds, fireplace walls, and key column wraps — slab-set, not veneered. The stone is the same material used on the equivalent Mediterranean estates in Naples and Port Royal.
Andersen or Pella architectural-grade windows specified to Miromar’s coastal-impact code, with true divided lites where the elevation calls for it. Front doors are typically custom hardwood, often with hand-forged ironwork and clavos detailing.
Every villa is delivered with a private pool, spa, and outdoor kitchen. Pool finishes are typically pebble or polished stone aggregate; outdoor kitchens are masonry-built with stone counters, not pre-fab assemblies. The outdoor room is treated as primary living space, not an afterthought.
The combined effect of these elements is what distinguishes Portofino architecturally from the production-luxury Mediterranean homes you’ll see elsewhere in Estero and North Naples. It is not just “the look.” It is the way the look is built.
Portofino at Miromar Lakes offers five distinct London Bay floor plans across its 20 villas — from the entry-tier Benita (3,102 sq ft under air, historically $1.55M–$2.15M) through three mid-plans starting near $1.9M including site, up to the estate-tier Cilento at roughly 4,286 sq ft under air and $3M+.
The plans are deliberately differentiated so that the community houses both the entry-luxury buyer (Benita) and the estate buyer (Cilento) without losing the cohesion of the Mediterranean architectural program. All five plans share the same builder, the same architectural spec, and the same level of interior finish — they vary primarily by square footage, bedroom count, and site premium.
The Benita is the most-built plan at Portofino and the entry point into the enclave. A four-bedroom, four-bath courtyard plan with a detached guest casita, a three-car garage, and the signature outdoor program London Bay uses on its Mediterranean line. Lives larger than its footprint because the courtyard becomes the primary outdoor room.
The first of the three mid-plans, sitting between the Benita and the estate-tier Cilento. Larger primary suite, expanded great room, and a stretched lanai program oriented for waterfront sites. Same architectural spec as the Benita but priced for buyers who want more square footage without stepping into the estate plan.
An alternate mid-tier plan with a dedicated study, a larger casita, and a slightly different courtyard orientation. Often selected by buyers who want a real home office or who anticipate hosting extended family for stretches of the season.
The largest of the three mid-plans, designed for buyers who want the estate feel without the Cilento price point. Two-story option available on select sites, with the secondary level holding additional guest suites and a bonus room overlooking the waterway.
The flagship of the enclave and the largest plan in Portofino. Four-plus bedrooms across a sprawling single-floor program (with select multi-story configurations on premium sites), with a primary suite that lives like a private wing and an outdoor program scaled for full estate entertaining. The closest in spec to the broader estate-tier Miromar Lakes homes that don’t sit inside a sub-enclave.
Note: pricing reflects approximate ranges including site at recent transaction levels. London Bay’s late-build inventory pricing and specific resale pricing varies by site premium, finish package, and market timing. The two most recent MLS closings in Portofino were $2,500,000 and $2,795,000. McGreevy and Comisar maintain current pricing on every plan — request a live brief if you are within 60 days of contract.
In Portofino at Miromar Lakes, site premium drives a meaningful share of the value spread between the 20 villas — sometimes more than floor plan does — because the majority of sites carry true frontage on the community’s interconnected freshwater waterway system, and frontage, orientation, and lot depth each price differently.
The 20 villas in Portofino are not interchangeable. Inside Miromar Lakes generally, and Portofino specifically, three siting attributes carry the value:
Direct frontage on Miromar’s interconnected freshwater waterway system is the single most valuable site attribute in the community. Roughly the majority of Portofino sites carry true waterway frontage, which means morning light over water from the primary suite, the lanai oriented to the waterway, and direct boat-launch potential from the rear of the lot. Sites that face the larger lake basin rather than a narrower channel carry a further premium.
Among waterfront sites, the orientation of the rear lanai matters more than the orientation of the front door. East-facing rear lanais take direct morning light over water and stay shaded by afternoon — the most popular configuration. West-facing rear lanais take the sunset over water — which is its own premium. South-facing sites are the most temperature-balanced and tend to be the strongest year-round occupancy properties.
A deeper lot lets London Bay set the home further from the waterway, which preserves the pool deck and outdoor kitchen as a true outdoor room separate from the water’s edge. Shallower lots compress the program. A buyer looking at two Benitas in the same price range should look closely at the deck depth — the home is the same, but the way the home lives differs.
Diligence point: always tour Portofino with a builder-aware eye on the site, not just the home. Site selection is the variable most often underweighted by first-time Miromar buyers — and it is the variable that has the biggest swing on resale. McGreevy and Comisar walk each available villa with a site-premium evaluation as part of every tour.
Portofino at Miromar Lakes holds value because four structural factors compound: supply capped at 20 villas forever, the deepest luxury-builder buyer pool in Southwest Florida, a London Bay build quality premium that shows up in appraisals, and a freshwater-beach amenity no competing community can replicate.
The resale strength of a luxury enclave is not a coincidence. It is the product of supply, demand, build quality, and amenity. Portofino scores at the top of the rubric on all four dimensions. Below is the analysis we walk buyers through in the listing presentation.
The single most important structural fact about Portofino is that the inventory pool is closed. There are 20 homesites, and there will never be more. Production-luxury communities elsewhere in Lee and Collier counties are subject to phase expansions, neighboring tracts being developed, and competing inventory coming online — all of which compress per-unit value over time. Portofino does not have this risk. Its supply is mathematically fixed. The live market data makes the point concretely: two MLS sales in the trailing 12 months, and zero active listings in June 2026.
London Bay’s brand is the most-recognized luxury builder name in Naples, Bonita Springs, and Estero. The buyers we work with in this segment frequently come to us with the builder name as a hard requirement before any community discussion happens. That demand depth is what produces the $6.1M / 45 days kind of absorption. It is also what makes Portofino’s specific 20-villa pool function as an over-demanded subset of an already-strong builder roster.
We covered this in the London Bay section, but it bears repeating in the resale context: across the Miromar Lakes resale history, London Bay product transacts at a measurable per-square-foot premium versus production-luxury comparables in the same community. That premium is part of the appraisal comp set, which means it is also part of what a future buyer will pay when you list.
Most luxury gated communities in Southwest Florida have a clubhouse, a pool, and a golf course. Some have a marina. Miromar Lakes has all of those, plus a three-mile private freshwater beach inside the community. There is no other community in the region that offers freshwater-beach amenity at this scale. That uniqueness is structural — it cannot be replicated by competing developers because the lake system itself is the asset.
Closed supply × deep demand × resale-premium builder × non-replicable amenity = the Portofino resale story. None of those four factors is fragile. None of them is reversible without a structural change to the community itself, and Miromar Lakes is well past the development phases where structural change is likely. The four-factor compound is the foundation of why we tell buyers — confidently — that Portofino is one of the most defensible holds in Estero luxury today.
Portofino at Miromar Lakes is the larger and more waterfront-leaning of the community’s two London Bay Homes enclaves: it offers five floor plans on an entry-to-estate ladder from the Benita to the Cilento, while Caprini is the tighter, estate-leaning sub-pool with a higher entry point.
Inside Miromar Lakes, London Bay Homes is represented in two sub-enclaves: Portofino and Caprini. Buyers regularly ask us how the two compare, so here is the side-by-side. Both are excellent. They differ in meaningful ways that matter to specific buyer profiles.
| Portofino | Caprini |
|---|---|---|
Total villas | 20 | Fewer (tighter enclave) |
Floor plans | 5 (Benita, Cilento + 3 mid) | Tighter plan set |
Entry pricing | ~$1.55M (Benita) | Higher entry point |
Estate pricing | $3M+ (Cilento) | $3M+ comparable estate |
Architectural style | Mediterranean (Tuscan-leaning) | Mediterranean (Northern Italian / coastal) |
Site profile | Waterway frontage majority | Lake / water-view leaning |
Buyer profile | Entry-to-estate ladder | Estate-only buyer |
Trailing 12-month MLS sales (June 2026) | 2 ($2,500,000 & $2,795,000) | 2 ($2,270,000 & $2,300,000) |
Best fit | Buyers who want London Bay quality at the most accessible entry inside Miromar | Buyers who want the smallest, most exclusive London Bay sub-pool inside Miromar |
If a buyer is weighing both enclaves, the right question to ask is not “which is better” — both are top of segment. The right question is “which fits the buyer profile.” A buyer who wants entry-tier London Bay product inside Miromar should look at the Benita in Portofino first. A buyer who wants the absolute smallest, most exclusive London Bay sub-pool should look at Caprini. A buyer who wants the estate plan and is indifferent on enclave should look at the Cilento (Portofino) and the comparable Caprini estate plan side by side, and let site premium decide.
Both enclaves carry the same Miromar Lakes master amenities, the same beach access, the same club structure, the same builder warranty, and the same architectural review covenants. The community-level experience is identical. What differs is the sub-pool you sit inside — its size, its plan range, and the buyer it attracts on resale.
Every owner in Portofino at Miromar Lakes buys into the full Miromar Lakes Beach and Golf Club amenity stack: a three-mile private freshwater beach, 700 acres of interconnected lakes, optional Arthur Hills championship golf, a resort clubhouse, full-service marina, spa, fitness, tennis — all roughly 10–12 minutes from RSW airport.
Portofino is an enclave inside a much larger amenity stack. The community-level experience matters because most of the day-to-day living happens outside the villa — at the beach, on the lake, at the clubhouse, on the golf course. Here is what owners actually use.
Miromar Lakes’ signature amenity, and the one element that genuinely has no substitute within an hour’s drive. Three miles of white sand on the edge of a 700-acre freshwater lake system. No tide. No saltwater corrosion on the boats or the deck furniture. Cabanas, beach service, beach restaurant, beach bar.
The lake system is what makes the community work — it provides the waterfront for the villa sites, the recreational water for boating and water sports, the visual frame for the architectural program, and the cooler microclimate that makes the deck program livable in shoulder season.
Optional, separately membered. Designed by Arthur Hills with full-length championship layout and short-game practice facilities. The course is not bundled with Portofino — owners opt in if golf is part of the program.
The Beach Clubhouse anchors the social and dining program — multiple dining venues, banquet space, member events, and a calendar that drives most of the social tempo of the community in season.
Full-service marina with slip availability for member boats; spa and fitness center with full programming; tennis and pickleball courts with active leagues. The amenity stack is comprehensive — there is no “missing” element that an owner has to drive off-property for.
The single most-cited convenience advantage of Miromar Lakes vs. the deeper-Naples gated communities. From Portofino’s gate to the Southwest Florida International Airport terminal is a 10–12 minute drive in non-peak traffic — meaningfully shorter than Mediterra, Estuary, or any of the Naples-south options. For seasonal owners flying in and out, this is a daily quality-of-life advantage.
Three buyer profiles dominate the market for Portofino at Miromar Lakes — the seasonal buyer scaling up to the London Bay brand, the relocating estate buyer, and the multi-residence portfolio holder — and each gravitates toward a different floor plan and site type within the 20-villa enclave.
Understanding which profile fits matters because each tends to gravitate toward a different floor plan and a different site type.
Typically a couple in their late 50s to mid-60s, currently owns in another Estero or Bonita gated community, and is moving up to the London Bay brand and Miromar amenity. Often selects the Benita or Mid Plan A. Tends to favor southern or eastern-facing rear lanai for the season-long usability. This profile produced the largest share of recent Portofino transactions.
Often relocating from the Northeast or Midwest, looking for a primary or near-primary residence with the full estate program. Selects the Cilento or Mid Plan C. Tends to favor the larger sites with more privacy buffer from neighboring villas. Frequently rolls in significant customization at the late-build or post-close phase.
Has one or more other luxury homes in other markets (Aspen, Manhattan, Boston, Chicago) and is acquiring Portofino as the Florida leg of a multi-residence program. Often less price-sensitive than the other two profiles and more focused on resale defensibility and lock-and-leave usability. Tends to favor mid-plan inventory because it’s the easiest to seasonal-occupy without staffing.
Why this matters: the three profiles compete for the same 20 villas, which is part of why absorption is so tight — and why, in June 2026, there is nothing on the market at all. There are not 20 buyers in each profile waiting to acquire a Portofino home — there are dozens. McGreevy and Comisar maintain direct relationships across all three profiles, which is part of how we surface off-market opportunities before they reach MLS.
Every buyer McGreevy and Comisar represent on an offer in Portofino at Miromar Lakes receives a seven-part due diligence package before contract: current fee disclosure, rental-rule status, a London Bay build-history pull, the flood designation and elevation certificate, a 24-month resale-price band, an off-market check, and a site-premium evaluation.
Buying into a 20-villa enclave at this price point is not a transactional event. It’s a decision that carries financial weight for years. Our buyer-side process on Portofino reflects that.
This is the work product that produces a clean Portofino acquisition. We do not skip steps and we do not template the work. Every offer is sourced, qualified, and priced from this exact baseline.
When McGreevy and Comisar list a villa in Portofino at Miromar Lakes, every listing receives the full luxury marketing program — architectural photography, drone and twilight capture, a custom microsite, direct buyer-pool outreach, and qualified-only showings — the same playbook behind the $6.1M-in-45-days London Bay sales run.
For Portofino owners considering a listing, here is the marketing program we run on every London Bay home we represent inside Miromar Lakes. This is not a template. Each piece is custom-built around the specific villa, but every piece is delivered on every listing.
This playbook is what produced the $6.1M / 45 days result on the four recent London Bay closings. It is the same playbook we run on every Portofino listing. If you currently own and are considering a list, we will deliver a full listing presentation — including current comps, projected absorption window, and a marketing plan specific to your villa — within seven days of an initial conversation.
The June 2026 market picture for Portofino at Miromar Lakes is defined by scarcity: two MLS sales in the trailing 12 months — $2,500,000 and $2,795,000, median 217 days on market, most recent closing 01/08/26 — and zero active listings, in a community that closed 72 sales overall.
Community context: across Miromar Lakes as a whole, 72 sales closed in the trailing 12 months at a median of $1,345,904, with a top sale of $4.2M; 59 listings were active community-wide in June 2026. Community-wide, rentals lease at roughly 100% of asking price, with a median achieved rent of $7,500/mo.
Read together, the numbers tell a clean story. The community trades actively — 72 closings is a healthy annual pace — but Portofino itself barely trades at all. Two sales a year out of 20 villas is a 10% annual turnover rate, and with zero active listings, any buyer who wants in right now has no MLS path at all. For sellers, that is leverage: a correctly priced, properly marketed Portofino villa enters a market with no competing inventory and a known, motivated buyer pool. The 217-day median DOM on the two sales is a reminder that pricing and marketing still matter at this tier — which is exactly the gap the McGreevy and Comisar listing playbook is built to close.

If you have been searching “sell my Portofino home” or looking for a Portofino listing agent who actually knows the London Bay product, start here. McGreevy and Comisar — ranked in the Top 1% of real estate agents nationally since 2008 and the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012 (Domain Realty Group) — have sold over $2.5 billion in Southwest Florida real estate, and we treat every Portofino at Miromar Lakes listing as the scarce, premium asset it is.
Your market right now: only two Portofino villas have sold on the MLS in the past 12 months — $2,500,000 and $2,795,000 — and there are zero active listings as of June 2026. Scarcity is your leverage. A new Portofino listing today faces no competing inventory inside the enclave, and the buyer pool for London Bay product at Miromar Lakes is deep and active. The 217-day median DOM on those two sales also shows what happens without the right pricing and marketing plan — and our playbook (the one behind the $6.1M-in-45-days London Bay run) exists to beat that number decisively.

Direct answers to the questions buyers actually ask about Portofino at Miromar Lakes — location, builder, floor plans, fees, amenities, flood zone, schools, and how to buy when nothing is listed.
Portofino is a 20-villa enclave on the south side of Miromar Lakes Beach and Golf Club in Estero, Florida, with most homesites positioned along the community’s waterway corridors and lake frontage.
All 20 villas in Portofino are built exclusively by London Bay Homes, the Naples-based luxury homebuilder known for custom Mediterranean and West Indies estate work across Southwest Florida.
Portofino is intentionally small — only 20 villas total — which is a meaningful part of its resale story inside the larger Miromar Lakes master plan. The 20-unit count is fixed; no expansion is contemplated or possible under the current master plan.
Pricing runs roughly $1.55M to $3M+ depending on floor plan, site premium, and finish package. The Benita plan is the entry point at approximately $1.55M to $2.15M; the Cilento sits above $3M; the three mid-plans start near $1.9M including site. The two MLS sales in the trailing 12 months closed at $2,500,000 and $2,795,000.
The Benita offers 3,102 square feet under air and 4,554 total square feet, with four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a three-car garage, and the signature Mediterranean courtyard layout London Bay Homes uses on this site.
The Cilento is approximately 4,286 square feet under air with 4+ bedrooms, and is the largest plan in Portofino. It starts above $3M and is the closest comparable to other estate plans inside Miromar Lakes.
Yes. The majority of Portofino’s villa sites are directly waterfront on Miromar Lakes’ freshwater waterway system, with the remainder positioned for water views. Waterfront positioning is one of the most defensible value drivers in the neighborhood.
As of the June 2026 Stellar MLS pull, there are zero active Portofino listings. That does not mean nothing is available — it means the path runs through the off-market pool. McGreevy and Comisar work the off-market London Bay network across Miromar Lakes daily; call Marc at (239) 287-5873 to get ahead of the next opportunity.
Four London Bay homes inside Miromar Lakes sold for $6.1M combined in 45 days. That run is the cleanest live signal of how the market absorbs London Bay product at Miromar Lakes — strong absorption at premium price points with virtually no inventory aging — and it is the most current real-world evidence of the resale story discussed on this page.
Miromar Lakes has master HOA dues plus the Beach Club Membership equity buy-in. Portofino villas carry the master HOA assessment plus any sub-association fee for the enclave. Buyers should request the current fee disclosure as numbers update on a club-board cadence — McGreevy and Comisar maintain a live copy.
Golf at Miromar Lakes is optional and separately membered through the Arthur Hills championship course. Portofino owners are not required to carry a golf membership; many opt for beach-and-lakefront access only.
Yes. All Miromar Lakes residents — Portofino included — have access to the community’s 700 acres of freshwater lakes and the famous three-mile white-sand private beach, the only one of its kind in the region.
Both are small London Bay Homes Mediterranean enclaves inside Miromar Lakes, but Portofino is the larger and more waterfront-leaning of the two, with a wider range of floor plans (five vs. Caprini’s tighter set) and stronger water frontage per site. Caprini tends to skew toward the estate-only buyer; Portofino offers a true entry-to-estate ladder from the Benita up to the Cilento. See the full comparison table earlier on this page.
London Bay builds to a custom-estate spec — concrete-block construction, structural engineering done per plan rather than off a template, hand-detailed millwork, hand-troweled plaster finishes, slab-set imported stone, and trade partners that work almost exclusively in the $2M+ tier. This is materially different from the production luxury builders working at similar price points elsewhere in Estero. The premium shows up on resale in the per-square-foot price the home transacts at.
Portofino is largely built out as a London Bay community, so most current opportunities are resale or late-build inventory. McGreevy and Comisar track both off-market and MLS-listed villas as they surface.
Standard signature elements include barrel-tile roofs, hand-finished stucco exteriors in warm Tuscan tones, arched openings, wrought-iron detailing, courtyard entries, loggias with vaulted wood-plank ceilings, imported stone cladding, and Andersen or Pella architectural-grade windows and doors specified to Miromar’s coastal-impact code. The full element-by-element spec is documented in the Architecture section above.
The Benita organizes living space around a central outdoor courtyard with a pool, water feature, and detached guest casita — a classic London Bay Mediterranean signature. The arrangement creates indoor-outdoor living on three sides of the courtyard while preserving privacy from the street.
Yes. Every Portofino floor plan includes a private pool, with most layouts also incorporating a spa and an outdoor kitchen on the lanai or in the courtyard. Pool sizes vary by plan but every plan is designed for a custom water feature as a focal point of the outdoor program.
London Bay’s custom division allows substantial customization on any pre-delivery home — finishes, cabinetry, appliance packages, lighting, flooring, and pool configuration are all selectable. Once delivered, post-close changes are common but require London Bay or an approved Miromar-recognized contractor.
Miromar Lakes is in Lee County’s A-rated school zone. Public schools include Pinewoods Elementary, Three Oaks Middle, and Estero High; the area also has top-rated private options including Bonita Springs Charter, Florida SouthWestern Collegiate High, and several Naples private schools within a 20-minute drive.
Approximately 10–12 minutes from Portofino’s gate to Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW). The proximity is one of the most-cited advantages by Miromar buyers versus the deeper-south Naples gated communities.
Most of Miromar Lakes sits in Flood Zone X, which is the preferred designation and translates to lower flood insurance carrying cost than the AE-zoned waterfront communities closer to the coast. Buyers should verify the specific site’s elevation certificate as part of due diligence.
Portofino’s waterway system connects to the larger 700-acre lake. Owners can use electric boats, sailboats, kayaks, paddleboards, and water skis on the lakes (gas powerboats are restricted to size and noise limits, which preserves the lake quality).
The $6.1M / 45 days run on the four London Bay villas reflects absorption when product is priced and marketed correctly; the longer-run average for London Bay product across Miromar Lakes has historically been under 60 days when priced correctly. Portofino’s own two MLS sales in the trailing 12 months carried a median DOM of 217 — evidence that pricing and marketing strategy, not the product, drive the difference.
Lee County millage rates apply across Estero so the rate itself is consistent, but the assessed value of Portofino villas is higher than the production-builder gated communities nearby, which makes the absolute dollar bill higher. The Save Our Homes cap kicks in after year one of homestead, which protects long-term holders.
Miromar Lakes does allow rentals under its lease restrictions (typically a minimum 30-day lease and limited number of leases per calendar year). Owners should verify the current rental rules before purchase — they update on a board cadence. Community-wide, Miromar Lakes rentals lease at roughly 100% of asking, with a median achieved rent of $7,500/mo.
London Bay extends a builder warranty on new delivery (typically 1-year workmanship, 2-year mechanical, 10-year structural). For late-build inventory and recent resale, the remaining warranty often transfers — this should be confirmed in writing at contract.
Miromar Lakes is fully golf-cart accessible across the master community, and Portofino’s villa garages are sized for a cart plus three full vehicles. Carts are the dominant mode of travel between the villa, the beach club, the marina, and the golf course.
There is no exact comparable because no other Estero / Bonita / Naples-North community combines the freshwater-beach amenity, the London Bay builder roster, and a 20-villa enclave at this price point. The nearest functional comparables are West Bay Club’s Genova and Mediterra’s Cabreo / Castello — both are excellent but neither delivers the freshwater-beach amenity.
Very well. The lock-and-leave concrete-block construction, the resort amenity stack, the RSW proximity, and the on-call concierge program make Portofino one of the easiest second-home villas to own in Southwest Florida. Most current owners are seasonal.
For every Portofino buyer we deliver: a current Miromar Lakes fee disclosure, the rental-rule status, a London Bay build-history pull on the specific villa, the most recent Lee County elevation certificate and flood designation, a 24-month resale-price band for the floor plan, and an off-market check across our London Bay relationships before we tour. The full process is documented in the Due Diligence section above.
Call McGreevy and Comisar directly. We work the off-market pool of London Bay villas across Miromar Lakes and frequently surface opportunities that never hit MLS — particularly at the Cilento and estate price points. With zero active Portofino listings in June 2026, this is currently the only path in.
Direct answers for owners weighing a sale in Portofino at Miromar Lakes — valuation, pricing strategy, marketing, off-market options, club-membership transfer, HOA documents, timing, and what the tight June 2026 numbers mean for your leverage.
The two MLS sales in the trailing 12 months closed at $2,500,000 and $2,795,000, but your villa’s value turns on floor plan, site premium, and finish package — variables that swing hundreds of thousands of dollars inside this enclave. Get a confidential valuation at mcgreevyandcomisar.com/home-valuation or call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.
It means you would enter the market with zero competing inventory inside the enclave. Every active Portofino buyer — and the demand pool spans three distinct profiles — has no MLS alternative to your home. That is the strongest negotiating position a luxury seller can hold, and it is exactly the condition the June 2026 Stellar MLS pull shows.
No — it is the scarcity that drives the value story. Two sales out of 20 villas is roughly 10% annual turnover, which is what a closed, tightly held enclave looks like. Thin trading cuts both ways, though: it makes pricing precision matter more, which is why we build every Portofino list price from a 24-month comp band with site-premium adjustments rather than from a single headline number.
Three reasons: builder (London Bay Homes carries demonstrable resale premium versus production builders), scarcity (only 20 villas total, no possibility of meaningful new supply), and positioning (waterfront sites inside one of the strongest gated communities in Southwest Florida). The compound effect of all three is what produced the $6.1M / 45 days London Bay absorption run.
From the comp set, adjusted for site premium. The trailing-12-month band is $2,500,000 to $2,795,000 on the two closed sales; from there we adjust for floor plan, waterway frontage, lanai orientation, lot depth, and finish package. The London Bay per-square-foot premium is part of the appraisal comp set, so pricing should capture it, not leave it on the table.
That pricing and marketing strategy decide outcomes at this tier. The same community produced a $6.1M-in-45-days run on four London Bay homes when product was priced and marketed correctly. The gap between 45 days and 217 days is not the product — it is the plan. Our listing playbook exists to put your villa on the right side of that gap.
Yes. No Portofino resale has to start on the MLS — scarcity is your leverage, and confidential and off-market representation is available. We can preview your villa to the qualified London Bay buyer pool we maintain across Miromar, Mediterra, Naples, Bonita Springs, and the Northeast/Midwest source markets without a public listing ever going live. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 — text or call. Confidential conversations welcome.
The full program on every listing: full architectural photography, drone and twilight capture, cinematic video, floor-plan rendering with site overlay, a custom microsite with its own URL, MLS with complete media, direct buyer-pool outreach, print placement in regional luxury publications, segmented social campaigns, and an off-market network preview when appropriate. This is the playbook that produced the $6.1M / 45 days result.
Usually a light styling pass, not a full strip-and-stage. London Bay interiors photograph well; our pre-list preparation tunes the home to photo-ready condition, builds the site-premium narrative around your specific lot and view, and positions price off a current 24-month comp pull. We coordinate all of it.
Miromar Lakes runs master HOA dues plus a Beach Club Membership equity buy-in, and the handling of that equity component is addressed in the purchase contract. Fee and membership terms update on a club-board cadence, so we pull the current fee disclosure at listing and walk both sides through the transfer mechanics before contract — no surprises at closing.
Expect to provide the current fee disclosure (master HOA assessment, Beach Club equity buy-in, and any Portofino sub-association assessment), the current rental-rule status, and the standard Florida HOA estoppel package at contract. McGreevy and Comisar maintain a live copy of the Miromar Lakes fee disclosure and coordinate the estoppel request so the timeline never slips on paperwork.
Yes — measurably. Across the Miromar Lakes resale history, London Bay homes consistently transact at a per-square-foot premium versus production-luxury comparables in the same community. That premium is part of the appraisal comp set, which means it is part of what your buyer will pay — if your listing is positioned to claim it.
The buyer pool is heavily seasonal — most current owners are seasonal, and the social calendar peaks in season — but with zero active listings in June 2026, a well-marketed villa does not need to wait for season to find its buyer. Off-market previews can also run quietly in the off-season so the listing launches with demand already built.
McGreevy and Comisar treat every Portofino villa as a top-tier luxury product: full architectural photography, drone, twilight, floor-plan rendering, a custom microsite, and direct outreach to the Miromar–Naples–Bonita London Bay buyer pool we have already curated. We deliver the full presentation — current comps, projected absorption window, and a marketing plan specific to your villa — within seven days of an initial conversation.
The honest answer: the trailing-12-month median was 217 days, while correctly priced and properly marketed London Bay product has historically cleared in under 60 — and the $6.1M run cleared in 45. Your outcome depends on pricing precision and marketing execution, which is why we set both from live comp and buyer-pool data, not optimism.
Because the track record is the argument: Top 1% of real estate agents nationally since 2008, #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012 (Domain Realty Group), over $2.5 billion sold as a team and over $900 million by McGreevy and Comisar alone — plus the specific London Bay buyer relationships and the listing playbook that produced the $6.1M-in-45-days result inside this community.
