Sardinia is an eight-home neighborhood of three-story beach houses on Miromar Lakes Parkway, built 2019 to 2025, with its own homeowners' association and three recorded home sales since 2020. Sell or buy with McGreevy and Comisar.
McGreevy and Comisar are the team Sardinia owners call first when they think about selling, and the team Sardinia buyers call when they want the record rather than the brochure: what each of the three recorded Sardinia home sales since 2020 actually paid, what each of the eight homesites sold for as land, which association governs the neighborhood, and what the Miromar Lakes CDD puts on a Sardinia tax bill. Sardinia is an eight-home neighborhood of three-story beach houses inside the master-planned community of Miromar Lakes, in unincorporated Lee County near Estero, Florida. It is one of the smallest single-family neighborhoods in the community by home count, it sits on Miromar Lakes Parkway in the area its builders called The Peninsula, and its homes were built between 2019 and 2025. Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar lead Domain Realty Group, the #1 real estate team in Southwest Florida since 2012 and Top 1% of agents nationally since 2008.
This guide is built from the Lee County Property Appraiser parcel roll and qualified-sale file (dated September 2026), the recorded Sardinia plat reference, the Florida Division of Corporations file for Sardinia Homeowners’ Association, Inc., the Miromar Lakes Community Development District’s adopted Fiscal Year 2027 budget, FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer, Lee County’s hazard, utility and zoning layers, the builders’ own published announcements, and the Southwest Florida MLS figures we pulled on September 30, 2026. Where the public record stops, we say so and name the document that answers the question.
If you own one of the eight and are weighing a sale, start with the market snapshot and the seller section, then call Jesse. If you are buying, the fee, flood and comparison sections will tell you whether Sardinia fits before you ever tour.

That matters in Sardinia for a specific reason. Eight homes produce almost no sales, and the few there are carry the whole market. The Lee County deed record holds exactly three qualified Sardinia home sales since the first house was finished: $3,725,000 in July 2020, $5,900,000 in March 2025 and $4,900,000 in June 2026. A listing agent who prices a Sardinia beach house off a Miromar Lakes average, or off one of those three deeds alone, can miss the price by a million dollars in either direction.
Recent Sardinia track record (last 12 months): In the last 12 months Sardinia has seen 1 resale in the Lee County qualified-deed record (September 2025 through the newest recorded Sardinia deed, June 15, 2026), at $4,900,000, the highest-priced Sardinia sale in that window. The Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull shows the same sale: 17835 Miromar Lakes Parkway, sold for $4,900,000 against a $5,950,000 list price (82.4 percent of list) after 134 days on the market, with an MLS closing date of June 25, 2026. It shows no active Sardinia listing, no pending sale and no Sardinia rental in the 12 months to September 30, 2026. We tracked every qualified Sardinia deed, and we will walk you through each one.

Sardinia at Miromar Lakes, section by section. Each link below jumps to its part of this guide, from the market snapshot and the homesite sales to the fee layers, the flood record, the comparison with Lugano, the seller section and the sources behind every figure.
Living in Sardinia means owning one of only eight three-story beach houses inside Miromar Lakes Beach & Golf Club, on a short private stretch of Miromar Lakes Parkway, with a neighborhood association of your own under the community’s Master Association. Sardinia buyers get a very large, vertical house and almost no neighbors.
The builders’ own announcements called Sardinia’s homes “Beach Houses”, and Gulfshore Homes described them as “just eight three-story Beach Houses set across from the 700-acre freshwater lake”. The phrase describes an architectural type rather than a lot on the sand: tall homes with the living levels raised above the garage and entry, elevated pools and spas, and outdoor rooms that face the water. The county codes all eight parcels as single-family homes (use code 01), and the Sardinia association’s own Articles of Incorporation call each property a “Villa Site”. The Miromar Lakes CDD, for its part, bills Sardinia in its highest single-family class, SF 2.
Sardinia sits at the top of the Miromar Lakes price ladder with the Peninsula estates. The homes on the county roll run from about 4,500 to 6,000 heated square feet, with three to six bedrooms, and the recorded home sales run from $3,725,000 to $5,900,000. That profile suits a buyer who wants new or nearly new construction, water views from raised living floors and an elevator rather than stairs, and a buyer who spends part of the year away and values a tiny, gated street with an association managing its common areas. It also suits an owner who wants a home here without joining the golf club, because golf membership is optional and separately priced.
A Sardinia morning can start on an upper-level terrace over the water, then a short drive or cart ride west along the parkway to the Beach Clubhouse, about nine tenths of a mile away in a straight line, where the 10,000 square foot zero-edge pool, the fitness center and the three miles of private beach are Master Association common area. Afternoons on Lake Como, the community’s 700-acre freshwater lake, and evenings at the Blue Water Beach Grill are the pattern the developer describes. Golf is a separate membership at the Miromar Lakes Golf Club. Miromar Outlets and Gulf Coast Town Center are about 7 minutes away by our free-flow estimate, and the developer puts Southwest Florida International Airport 10 to 15 minutes away.
Data updated: September 2026. The Sardinia market is the thinnest and one of the most expensive in Miromar Lakes: the Lee County qualified-deed record holds three Sardinia home sales since the first house was finished, $3,725,000 in 2020, $5,900,000 in 2025 and $4,900,000 in 2026, a median of $4,900,000, plus the eight original homesite sales from 2017 to 2022.
The yardstick here is the county’s own record: deeds the Lee County Property Appraiser marks as qualified (arm’s-length) sales, matched to Sardinia by plat, not by name. With only three improved-home sales, no 12, 24, 36 or 60-month window reaches ten, so we list every sale instead of leaning on a median. The first sale matches the reported sale of Seagate’s Sabbia model and is counted as builder-direct; the other two are resales.
Measure (Lee County qualified deeds) | Sardinia |
|---|---|
Window | All recorded history, July 2020 to the newest recorded Sardinia deed (June 15, 2026) |
Qualified home sales | 3: 1 builder-direct, 2 resales |
Median sale price | $4,900,000 (odd count: the middle sale) |
Range | $3,725,000 to $5,900,000 |
Dollar volume | $14,525,000 |
Mean price per heated square foot | $1,024 (mean of each sale’s own ratio; median $1,087) |
Sales since September 2025 | 1: $4,900,000 |
Recorded | Price | Type | Heated sq ft | Price per sq ft | Bedrooms | Year built |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
July 2020 | $3,725,000 | Builder-direct | 4,849 | $768 | 6 | 2019 |
March 2025 | $5,900,000 | Resale | 4,849 | $1,217 | 6 | 2019 |
June 2026 | $4,900,000 | Resale | 4,509 | $1,087 | 3 | 2022 |
Two things stand out. First, the same 2019 home appears twice: it sold for $3,725,000 in July 2020 and for $5,900,000 in March 2025, a 58 percent gain in four years and eight months. The deed record does not say why the price moved, and it does not separate furnishings. Second, the June 2026 resale, a 2022 home with three bedrooms, cleared $1,000 a square foot. On a street of eight custom homes, the house, its finishes and its view set the price, not a neighborhood average.
Sardinia was sold first as land. Each owner bought a homesite and built with a builder, which is why eight homes have produced only three improved-home deeds. The Lee County file records a qualified land deed on every one of the eight lots:
Recorded | Lot | Land price |
|---|---|---|
September 2017 | Lot 8 | $1,300,000 |
September 2017 | Lot 4 | $1,000,000 |
January 2019 | Lot 1 | $1,200,000 |
February 2019 | Lot 3 | $1,100,000 |
May 2019 | Lot 6 | $1,200,000 |
May 2019 | Lot 5 | $1,100,000 |
January 2021 | Lot 2 | $1,300,000 |
March 2021 | Lot 5 (second land sale) | $1,300,000 |
January 2022 | Lot 7 | $1,700,000 |
The last original homesite deed was recorded in January 2022 at $1,700,000, the highest land price in the set. Put the land and the houses side by side and the spread is plain: a Sardinia homesite that sold for about $1.1 to $1.3 million in 2019 now carries a finished home that resells for about $5 million.
The Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull (pulled September 30, 2026) shows 1 Sardinia closing in the 12 months to September 30, 2026: 17835 Miromar Lakes Parkway, $4,900,000 against a $5,950,000 list price, 82.4 percent of list, $987 a square foot on the MLS’s 4,966 square feet, 134 days on the market, with an MLS closing date of June 25, 2026. It shows no active Sardinia listing, no pending sale and no rental. Across all of Miromar Lakes Beach & Golf Club the same September 2026 pull showed 88 closings in the 12 months to September 30, 2026 at a median of $1,483,284 (range $460,000 to $5,900,000), 40 active listings at a median asking price of $1,460,250 and 3 pending sales; community rentals leased at a median of $8,500 a month (19 rented), with 18 active rentals at a median asking rent of $4,600 a month.
The two records agree on the price of the one Sardinia resale in the window: $4,900,000 for 17835 Miromar Lakes Parkway. They differ on details. The county deed was recorded June 15, 2026 and the roll shows 4,509 heated square feet and three bedrooms, while the MLS shows a June 25, 2026 closing date, 4,966 square feet and four bedrooms plus a den. The county records the deed consideration, while the MLS records the reported closing price, and a sale that never runs through the MLS, or is entered under another neighborhood name, shows up only in the deed record. We treat the county file as the primary record.
Sardinia is a scarcity market in its purest form. With eight homes, the two newest just finished, and three home sales in six years, the next listing competes with nothing inside the neighborhood, but its buyer also has almost nothing inside the neighborhood to compare it with. That pushes the comparison outward, to Lugano and the other Peninsula estates, and it makes the seller’s documentation, from the builder and plan to the finishes and the view, carry the price.

Sardinia came to be as Unit XVI-A of Miromar Lakes Beach & Golf Club: an eight-lot neighborhood approved by Lee County under case ADD2016-00206, recorded under Instrument 2017000183766, given its own homeowners’ association in February 2017, sold as homesites from 2017 to 2022 and built out from 2019 to 2025.
Miromar Lakes Beach & Golf Club is the work of Miromar Development Corporation, a Florida company that describes itself as founded in 1988 and whose portfolio also includes Miromar Outlets and the Miromar Design Center. The community’s master Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Easements was recorded on December 27, 2000 at Official Records Book 3343, Page 294, and the declarant entity is Miromar Lakes, LLC. The Miromar Lakes Community Development District was created in September 2000 by Lee County Ordinance 00-17, on about 972 acres east of Interstate 75 and north of Florida Gulf Coast University.
Lee County’s planned-development datasheet for the Miromar Lakes MPD/DRI lists an administrative approval, ADD2016-00206, for “Sardinia, 8 units”. The Lee County roll then records the neighborhood as Miromar Lakes Unit XVI-A Sardinia, described in Instrument 2017000183766, with lots 1 through 8 and an open-space tract, Tract OS-1. The eight lots straddle Sections 12 and 13 of Township 46 South, Range 25 East, and every address is an odd number on Miromar Lakes Parkway, from 17831 at lot 8 to 17845 at lot 1.
Sardinia Homeowners’ Association, Inc. was filed with the Florida Division of Corporations on February 23, 2017, as a not-for-profit corporation under Chapter 617 of the Florida Statutes, document number N17000002024. It was incorporated from Miromar Development Corporation’s own Corkscrew Road office, and its Articles say it was formed for the “maintenance, preservation and architectural control of the residential lots, common areas and improvements” under the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for the Sardinia Neighborhood, a declaration recorded or to be recorded in the Lee County public records. In February 2022 the association filed an amendment that removed the directors listed at the developer’s office and moved its principal office off the developer’s premises; its principal address is now Miromar Lakes Parkway. It has filed an annual report every year since, most recently on April 14, 2026, and is active.
Two builders announced model homes in Sardinia as it launched. Seagate Development Group broke ground on its Sabbia model in late 2017, and Naples Daily News reported it on schedule for completion in the fall of 2018. Gulfshore Homes began its Casa Mare model in February 2018, describing it as “located in the Sardinia neighborhood on the Peninsula”, and targeted completion by the end of that year. The Sabbia won a 2019 Lee Building Industry Association Superior Home Award, and the News-Press reported its sale in August 2020. No public source we found names the builders of Sardinia’s other six homes, so we do not name them.
The county file shows the pattern of a custom-home neighborhood. The first two homesites sold in September 2017, four more in 2019, one in January 2021 and the last in January 2022, and one lot resold as land in March 2021. The houses followed: two carry a 2019 year built, two 2021, one 2022, one 2024 and two 2025, and the two 2025 homes did not yet carry a heated-area figure on the roll when we pulled it in September 2026. Sardinia, in other words, is newly finished rather than long settled, which is a point in its favor at resale: roofs, windows and mechanical systems are young, and the homes were built to current wind-code standards.
Sardinia is an eight-home neighborhood inside Miromar Lakes, and its three recorded home sales ran from $3,725,000 to $5,900,000. If you own there, get a free Sardinia home valuation or call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072. If you are buying, call Marc at (239) 287-5873, or read how we represent buyers in Southwest Florida.
A Sardinia beach house is a custom three-story single-family home of about 4,500 to 6,000 heated square feet on the county roll, with three to six bedrooms and raised living levels over the garage and entry, built between 2019 and 2025 on Miromar Lakes Parkway; the builders’ published plans add elevated pools and spas and outdoor rooms that face the lake.
Measure (Lee County roll, September 2026) | Sardinia |
|---|---|
Homes | 8 single-family parcels, lots 1 to 8 |
Heated area (6 homes with a figure) | 4,509 to 6,015 sq ft |
Median heated area | 5,290 sq ft (even count: middle pair 5,185 and 5,396) |
Average heated area | 5,298 sq ft |
Bedrooms on the roll | 3 bedrooms: 3 homes; 4 bedrooms: 1 home; 6 bedrooms: 2 homes |
Bathrooms on the roll | 4 to 8 |
Year built | 2019 (2), 2021 (2), 2022 (1), 2024 (1), 2025 (2) |
Not yet on the roll | Heated area, bedrooms and baths for the two 2025 homes |
Heated area is the county’s figure for air-conditioned living space. It excludes garages, terraces, sundecks and pool decks, which in a three-story beach house are large. That is why the builders’ “total square feet” figures below run nearly twice the heated figure. When a listing and the roll disagree, ask which measure the listing used.
The Sabbia is the best documented Sardinia home, and its published sizes do not agree with each other. When Seagate broke ground in December 2017, Naples Daily News reported “five bedrooms plus a club room, six full bathrooms and two half-baths, with 4,782 square feet under air and 9,329 total square feet”. From 2018 on, the builder’s releases described “the three-level, 6,227 square feet under air” Sabbia on “a lakefront homesite”, priced in July 2019 at $4,650,000 with furnishings. The county roll’s heated area for the 2019 home whose first sale matches the Sabbia’s reported sale is 4,849 square feet, with six bedrooms and seven baths. We publish all three because each comes from a different measuring party, and the one a buyer’s appraiser uses will be the county’s.
The released floor plan is the clearest picture of how a Sardinia home lives. The main entry is flanked by two garages, one of them 67 feet long, and leads to a lower foyer, an elevator and storage. The first living level holds three guest suites, a great room with a sit-down bar and wine storage, the kitchen and dining area, and an outdoor living room with a fireplace and grill that opens to the elevated pool, spa and sundeck. The second level holds the owner’s suite with its own sundeck, another guest suite, a club room with a second sundeck, a morning bar and the laundry.
Gulfshore Homes’ published description of the Casa Mare, from February 2018, gives 5,304 square feet of living space and 9,819 total square feet, three bedrooms, four full and three half-bathrooms, a study, a multi-use room, an outdoor kitchen, an elevated pool and spa, a natural stone pool deck, a three-car garage and beach access. Which lot holds the Casa Mare is not stated in any public record we found.
A three-story plan on a lakefront lot does three things. It lifts the living floors to where the views are, it puts the pool and outdoor rooms on raised decks that catch the breeze, and it keeps garages, storage and entry at grade. The cost is vertical living, which the Sabbia plan answers with an elevator. For a buyer, the practical checks on a Sardinia home are the elevator’s service record, the waterproofing of the raised pool and sundecks, and whether every opening carries impact-rated glass, which a home built after 2019 in this wind zone should.
A Sardinia home carries Master Association membership under the master Declaration, and through it the Beach Club’s pool, beach, fitness, tennis and lake privileges for one registered household per lot; golf is a separate, optional membership with its own $140,000 initiation fee, and dining, spa services and rentals are paid as used.
Inside Sardinia itself the shared features are modest: the neighborhood entry and landscaping, the open-space tract recorded as Tract OS-1, and whatever common areas the Sardinia declaration assigns to the Sardinia association. The association’s Articles give it the job of maintaining the common areas, insuring association property, rebuilding improvements after a casualty and exercising architectural control over the lots. What exactly the Sardinia association maintains on each lot is set by the Sardinia declaration, which is recorded but not posted online; ask for it, with the association’s current budget, before you sign.
The Beach Club is Master Association common area. The developer’s own description lists a 10,000 square foot zero-edge infinity pool with a beach entry and a children’s wading pool, about three miles of private white-sand beach, a Beach Clubhouse with a dining room, library, wine room, billiard room, card room and theater, a Wellness Spa and a fitness center. The Racquet Club has seven lighted Har-Tru tennis courts and dedicated lighted pickleball courts, which the Winter 2024 resident newsletter counts at six, plus bocce and a family mini-putt course. A Social Lounge and a Golf Simulator Suite inside the Beach Clubhouse were announced for late fall 2026. The January 30, 2024 edition of the Master Association Rules and Regulations ties Beach Club use to one registered household per lot and says general use of the beach, pool, tennis and locker rooms is included in the periodic assessments, while food and drink, spa services, classes, room rentals and boat and equipment rentals are charged separately.
Lake Como is a 700-acre contiguous freshwater lake, 26 to 40 feet deep, with no tides and no connection to the Gulf. The developer lists swimming, water-skiing, wakeboarding, sailing, kayaking, paddleboarding and fishing. The Master Association’s rules prohibit personal watercraft such as jet skis, cap motorboats and pontoons at 23 feet (pontoon motors at 40 horsepower or less) and sailboats at 21 feet, require every boat to be registered, and limit lake swimming to within 50 feet of shore in the roped area by the Beach Club, never from sundown to dawn. The land under Lake Como belongs to the Miromar Lakes CDD, and the CDD’s stormwater rules say a dock built into a lake maintenance easement is the dock owner’s to maintain. The Marina on the Peninsula offers slip rentals, boat fueling, gated boat storage and rentals. Florida Gulf Coast University, next door, runs its own student waterfront on the lake, so expect university users on the water.
The Miromar Lakes Golf Club course is an 18-hole, par-72 Arthur Hills Signature design, remastered by Drew Rogers, with six sets of tees from about 4,500 to 7,100 yards. The developer describes it as the only Arthur Hills Signature course in Southwest Florida. Membership is optional; the official golf page puts the initiation fee at $140,000, up from $110,000 before December 1, 2023, and a waitlist applies. The developer says new-construction buyers can skip that waitlist. A Sardinia purchase today is a resale, so a Sardinia buyer who wants golf should plan on the waitlist.
Dining at the Beach Clubhouse and the Blue Water Beach Grill, spa treatments, lessons and classes, marina slips, boat rentals and concierge tasks such as home watch or pool cleaning are all pay-as-used. The developer lists these services but does not publish their prices, and golf dues are not published either.
Sardinia fees come in three layers: Sardinia Homeowners’ Association dues, Miromar Lakes Master Association dues and the Miromar Lakes CDD assessment on the county tax bill. Only the CDD layer is published: $2,856.44 per Sardinia home for Fiscal Year 2027. Neither association publishes its dues, so the estoppel certificate is where a buyer gets the real number.
The Sardinia association (Florida document N17000002024) levies its own assessments under the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for the Sardinia Neighborhood, and its Articles give it the power “to fix, levy, collect and enforce payment” of those assessments. The association does not publish its budget or dues on any public site we could find, and we do not repeat dues figures from listing remarks. The figure a buyer can rely on is the one in the association’s estoppel certificate, which Florida Statute 720.30851 requires the association to issue on request and which sets out the regular assessment, the amount owed and any special assessments.
Miromar Lakes Master Association, Inc. (Florida document N00000005816), formerly named Miromar Lakes Beach and Golf Club Master Association, owns and runs the Beach Club and the community common areas under the master Declaration recorded at Official Records Book 3343, Page 294. Its dues, any Beach Club charges and any capital contribution at resale are not published in any public primary document we found. The official Contact page routes estoppel requests to the Master Association.
The Miromar Lakes Community Development District is a unit of local government under Chapter 190 of the Florida Statutes, and its assessments appear on the Lee County property tax bill. Its adopted Fiscal Year 2027 budget (October 1, 2026 to September 30, 2027), adopted at the District’s May 14, 2026 public hearing, lists Sardinia in its SF 2 class at $2,116.46 of debt service plus $739.98 of operations and maintenance, for a total of $2,856.44 per home, across 8 assessment units. The debt portion repays the District’s Series 2025 refunding bonds, whose scheduled final maturity is May 1, 2035; the operations portion continues after that. Paying the tax bill in November earns up to a 4 percent discount.
Layer | Who levies it | Published amount | Where to find it |
|---|---|---|---|
Sardinia association | Sardinia Homeowners’ Association, Inc. | Not published | Estoppel certificate; association budget |
Master Association | Miromar Lakes Master Association, Inc. | Not published | Estoppel certificate from the Master Association |
CDD | Miromar Lakes Community Development District | $2,856.44 per home, Fiscal Year 2027 | FY2027 adopted budget; your tax bill |
Golf (optional) | Miromar Lakes Golf Club | $140,000 initiation; dues not published |
Florida Statute 720.401 requires a seller in a homeowners’ association community to give the buyer a disclosure summary before the contract is signed, and Florida Statute 190.048 requires every sale contract inside a CDD to carry a bold notice that the District may levy taxes or assessments on the property. For the dollars, ask for three documents early: the Sardinia association’s estoppel certificate, the Master Association’s estoppel certificate and the most recent Lee County tax bill for the home, which shows the CDD line. We request all three at listing so a Sardinia buyer never meets a new number at the closing table.
Sardinia’s yearly cost of ownership stacks four items: Sardinia association dues, Master Association dues, the $2,856.44 CDD assessment and Lee County ad valorem property tax, which for Sardinia’s taxing district ran 13.2715 mills in 2025, or about $13.27 per $1,000 of taxable value.
Every Sardinia parcel sits in Lee County Property Appraiser taxing district 071, “San Carlos Fire”, which is unincorporated Lee County rather than the Village of Estero. The 2025 final millage for that district totals 13.2715 mills. The largest pieces are Lee County general revenue at 3.7623 mills, public schools at 5.3190 mills combined, and the San Carlos Park Fire District at 2.3590 mills, with the unincorporated-area MSTU, the library district, South Florida Water Management District levies and several smaller county districts making up the rest. The 2026 millage book was not yet posted when we checked in September 2026.
On an illustrative taxable value of $4,000,000, 13.2715 mills produces about $53,086 of ad valorem tax, and the CDD’s $2,856.44 is added on top as a non-ad valorem line, before any November discount. A homesteaded full-time owner’s taxable value is usually below market value because of the exemption and the assessment cap described next, and a new buyer’s taxable value resets toward market value the year after purchase. On a newly built Sardinia home the first full-year bill can also jump when the finished house is first assessed. Pull the actual bill for the home you are considering; this example is arithmetic, not a Sardinia tax bill.
A Florida resident who owns and lives in a Sardinia home on January 1 can apply to the Lee County Property Appraiser by March 1 for the homestead exemption of up to $50,000. Once homesteaded, the assessed value can rise each year by no more than the lower of 3 percent or inflation, which the Department of Revenue set at 2.7 percent for 2026. A joint resolution (HJR 1-F) that would raise the non-school homestead exemption is on the November 2026 ballot; it is a proposal, not law, until voters approve it.
Sardinia homes are governed by two recorded layers: the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for the Sardinia Neighborhood, administered by Sardinia Homeowners’ Association, and the master Declaration for Miromar Lakes Beach & Golf Club at Official Records Book 3343, Page 294, administered by the Master Association, with the Master Association’s rules on top.
The Sardinia Articles, filed February 23, 2017 and public on the Florida Division of Corporations site, set the association’s frame. Every owner of record of a Villa Site is a member, with one vote per Villa Site, however many people hold title. The developer held a Class B membership with a veto until turnover. The board has at least three directors. Amending the Articles takes 75 percent of the votes of the entire membership (a majority of the board before turnover), no amendment may change membership or voting rights without the written approval of every member, and dissolving the association takes 100 percent. The By-Laws are amended by a majority of the members present at a meeting.
The master Declaration was recorded December 27, 2000, and the Miromar Lakes CDD’s stormwater rules cite it by book and page, including its Section 22.4 lake maintenance easements. Its Sections 11.3 and 11.5 let the Master Association board and the declarant adopt rules. The current rules, in the edition dated January 30, 2024, cover Beach Club use, lake use, vehicle registration and a schedule of fines. Master Association members vote through Neighborhood Voting Representatives rather than individually, under the Master Association’s 2000 Articles of Incorporation.
The Sardinia association’s Articles name “architectural control of the residential lots” as one of its purposes, and the master Declaration adds a community-level review layer. Neither set of architectural guidelines is posted publicly. On a three-story custom home the list of things that need approval is long: a change to the elevated pool deck, a new sundeck enclosure, exterior color, landscaping on the lake side, a dock or a lift. Get the written guidelines and the approval process from both associations before you plan work, and a Sardinia seller should be ready to show that past exterior changes were approved.
Sardinia is not a 55+ community. No primary source for Miromar Lakes Beach & Golf Club designates it as housing for older persons, and the Master Association’s rules define a registered household as including dependent children under 25 and set supervision rules for children at the Beach Club, which fits an all-ages community.
Florida stopped registering 55+ communities with the Florida Commission on Human Relations on July 1, 2020, so there is no state list to check; the recorded declaration is the authority. For a Sardinia seller, the practical effect is a wider buyer pool: families, working-age buyers relocating to the Estero area and retirees can all buy in Sardinia, and the six-bedroom plans on the roll suit multigenerational owners.
A Sardinia home can be leased, but the minimum lease term, how often an owner may lease and whether a lease needs approval are set by the Sardinia declaration and the master documents, which are not published online. The Master Association’s rules do say that a leasing owner must designate the tenant as the Beach Club user for the lease term.
That designation matters. Beach Club privileges belong to one registered household per lot, so while a tenant holds them, the owner does not. Owners must also register every occupant with the Master Association within 10 days of any change in occupancy. On rental demand, the Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull showed 19 Miromar Lakes rentals leased in the 12 months to September 30, 2026 at a median of $8,500 a month, across the whole community; that figure mixes condominiums and coach homes with estates and says little about a Sardinia home. Before you buy a Sardinia home as a seasonal rental, read the Sardinia declaration’s leasing article; before you list one with a tenant in place, tell us the lease end date so showings can be scheduled around it.
Pets live in Sardinia homes, but the number, size and breed limits, if any, are set in the Sardinia declaration and the master documents, which are not published online. The one published pet rule is the Master Association’s: dogs and other pets are not allowed at the Beach Club, except assistance animals.
Ask for the pet provisions of the Sardinia declaration with the association documents, and remember that the lake is wildlife habitat: the Master Association’s rules place no duty on the association or the developer to remove wildlife. On a lakefront lot with raised decks and an elevated pool, owners with small dogs should also think about fencing and screening, which are architectural-review items.
Sardinia sits in FEMA Flood Zone X, an area of minimal flood hazard, on Lee County’s effective map panel 12071C0582F; it is in Lee County Evacuation Zone D, one of the county’s least vulnerable zones, and it is built to a 160 mph design wind speed inside the wind-borne debris region, where openings need impact protection.
We queried FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer at Sardinia’s end addresses, 17831 and 17845 Miromar Lakes Parkway, and the Lee County Property Appraiser’s copy of the flood layer at 17837. They return Zone X, “area of minimal flood hazard”, on panel 12071C0582F, effective August 28, 2008, a countywide panel FEMA never printed because it holds no special flood hazard area. FEMA’s zone test across all of Miromar Lakes puts every Sardinia parcel in Zone X; the AE zones in the community sit in other neighborhoods. Zone X is not “no flood risk”. It means a federally backed lender generally does not require flood insurance, but flood coverage is still available in Zone X. The address-level answer is always FEMA’s Flood Map Service Center, Lee County’s flood portal and the home’s elevation certificate.
Because Sardinia is in unincorporated Lee County, Lee County’s standing in FEMA’s Community Rating System applies, not the Village of Estero’s. Unincorporated Lee County is a CRS Class 5 community, which gives National Flood Insurance Program policyholders a 25 percent discount on premiums. FEMA confirmed in November 2024 that unincorporated Lee County would keep that 25 percent discount after a corrective action plan.
Lee County’s evacuation layer places Sardinia in Evacuation Zone D, storm surge zone 4. Lee County describes Zone D as one of its least vulnerable evacuation zones, among the last to be ordered out, and names wind, including tornadoes, as the most significant danger there. Check your zone each season on Lee County’s Know Your Zone lookup, because evacuation orders are issued by zone.
The Lee County Property Appraiser’s wind layer puts Sardinia at an ultimate design wind speed of 160 mph for ordinary homes (Risk Category II) and inside the wind-borne debris region. The Florida Building Commission notes that peninsula design wind speeds are unchanged in the 2023 code. Every Sardinia home was built in 2019 or later, so each should have been designed to those wind loads with impact-rated or protected openings; a buyer’s wind-mitigation inspection confirms it, along with roof-to-wall connections and the roof covering. On a three-story house, the upper-level glass and the sundeck railings take the most wind, so ask for the product approvals.
Hurricane Ian made landfall on Cayo Costa on September 28, 2022 as a Category 4 storm. The National Hurricane Center’s records for Southwest Florida International Airport, about four miles north of Miromar Lakes, show a gust of 96 knots and 6.54 inches of rain, and surge of 8 to 12 feet struck coastal Estero, Bonita Springs and North Naples, well west of Miromar Lakes. Hurricane Milton in October 2024 brought a 56-knot gust at the airport. We found no primary source documenting surge or specific structural damage inside Miromar Lakes from either storm, and we make no claim either way; a Sardinia seller should disclose any storm repairs and insurance claims on the home itself.
The state records point to an easing market. Citizens Property Insurance, the state-backed insurer, stood at 278,662 policies in June 2026 after peaking at 1.42 million in October 2023, and recommended an average personal-lines rate decrease for 2026. Florida’s Office of Insurance Regulation reported in May 2026 that 20 new property and casualty insurers had entered the state since the 2022 and 2023 reforms. Florida law also bars an insurer from refusing to write or renew a homeowner’s policy solely because the roof is less than 15 years old, which every Sardinia roof is. None of these sources publishes Sardinia or Miromar Lakes premiums, and we do not quote any; get a quote on the specific house, with its wind-mitigation report, before you commit.
Florida Statute 689.302 requires a seller of residential property to give the buyer a flood disclosure at or before the contract, stating whether the seller knows of flood damage during ownership, has filed a flood insurance claim or has received federal flood assistance. A Zone X designation does not remove that duty.
Sardinia is served by the School District of Lee County through its proximity-based school-choice plan, not a single assigned school: families rank schools within the choice zone tied to their address, and Florida Gulf Coast University sits immediately next to Miromar Lakes.
Under the district’s Student Enrollment Plan for 2026 to 2027, elementary and middle school families choose among the schools in the proximity zone for their address, with lottery priority for students within two miles and for the nearest school in the zone. For high school, the plan’s South Zone is described as generally south of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and the Caloosahatchee River, and by that description Miromar Lakes falls inside it. Which proximity zone and which South Zone sub-zone serve a Sardinia address on Miromar Lakes Parkway is answered by the district’s School Enrollment Zones map for the specific address, and we do not name a zoned school here. Miromar Lakes parcels fall in Lee County School Board District 2.
Permits for Sardinia homes are issued by the Lee County Department of Community Development, because Sardinia is in unincorporated Lee County, not the Village of Estero; permit history for any Sardinia address is searchable online in Lee County’s eConnect portal without an account.
Lee County’s Accela Citizen Access portal, branded eConnect, searches by address, case number or the parcel’s STRAP number, and the county says no account is needed to look up records. On a home built between 2019 and 2025 the history should show the original building permit through its certificate of occupancy, plus pool, elevator, dock and any later work. An open or expired permit on a new custom home, most often on a pool, a screen enclosure or a late change order, is one of the easiest ways for a Sardinia closing to slow down, so pull it before you list or before you make an offer. Elevation certificates on file for unincorporated parcels can be searched through the county’s flood portal.
A roof replacement and window or door replacements need a building permit in Lee County. Under Florida Statute 553.844, if a roof was built, repaired or replaced to the 2007 Florida Building Code or later, replacing 25 percent or more of it requires only the replaced portion to meet the current code. Every Sardinia roof was built well after 2007, which simplifies any future repair.
Sardinia sits inside the Miromar Lakes Mixed Use Planned Development, a Development of Regional Impact approved by Lee County in 1999 and now governed by resolution Z-13-020; the whole project covers 1,800.70 acres, and Sardinia’s own eight units were approved administratively under case ADD2016-00206.
Lee County’s planned-development datasheet for the Miromar Lakes MPD/DRI (master number DRI900359) records approval for up to 3,716 residential units on 1,042 acres, 650 boat slips, 150 hotel rooms and 150,000 square feet of commercial space, with 344.70 acres of wetlands and conservation. Those are approved maximums, not a count of what is built. The Lee Plan’s future land use category for the community is University Community. The same datasheet lists the neighboring Peninsula approvals, including ADD2015-00132 for The Peninsula Phase IV, 56 lots, the phase that holds Lugano, Cassina and part of Salerno. The active new construction inside Miromar Lakes, at Positano, Messina and Nerano, is in other parts of the community. The largest change nearby is outside it: the Florida Department of Transportation’s Interstate 75 project from Golden Gate Parkway to Alico Road, which adds optional toll express lanes through the Corkscrew Road interchange, is slated to begin in fall 2026.
Daily life in Sardinia runs on Florida Power & Light electricity, Lee County Utilities water and sewer, Friday curbside collection by Waste Pro, the San Carlos Park Fire District and a staffed Miromar Lakes gatehouse, with Southwest Florida International Airport 10 to 15 minutes away by the developer’s own measure.
Miromar Lakes is gated, with a staffed gatehouse and two entrances. The Master Association’s rules require residents to register every vehicle and issue a decal and transponder for the main gate, and guests are admitted on a resident’s authorization. Owners register every occupant within 10 days of a change in occupancy.
Lee County’s electric territory layer returns Florida Power & Light across Miromar Lakes, not LCEC. Water and sewer are Lee County Utilities. Fire and rescue are the San Carlos Park Fire District, which appears on the tax bill at 2.3590 mills for 2025.
Sardinia is in Lee County’s solid waste Area 3, served by Waste Pro, and the county’s collection-route layer puts Sardinia on a Friday route. Collection is once a week for garbage, recycling and yard waste, set out by 5:30 a.m.; bulky-item pickup is available on request through the county.
Sardinia addresses use Miromar Lakes, FL 33913, a mailing name the Postal Service accepts for the ZIP code and the Census geocoder matches; Miromar Lakes is not an incorporated city. Whether mail comes to the door, the curb or a cluster box, and which internet providers serve Miromar Lakes Parkway at the address level, are not confirmed in any public source we reached; the Village of Estero lists Comcast, Frontier, CenturyLink and Summit Broadband as providers in the adjoining area.
The developer puts Southwest Florida International Airport 10 to 15 minutes from Miromar Lakes. Our free-flow routing estimates from the Sales Gallery, which run longer in season, put Florida Gulf Coast University at about 5 minutes, Miromar Outlets, Gulf Coast Town Center and Interstate 75 at about 7, Coconut Point at about 15 and Barefoot Beach Preserve at about 31. For emergencies, Lee Health’s Coconut Point freestanding emergency department is open 24 hours, about 16 minutes away, and Gulf Coast Medical Center, a state-approved Level II trauma center, is about 16 minutes away in Fort Myers.
Sardinia compares as the newest and smallest of the Miromar Lakes estate neighborhoods: on the same all-history county-deed yardstick its $4,900,000 median sits below Lugano and above San Lorenzo, its $1,024 mean price per square foot matches San Lorenzo’s and runs well above Sorrento and Castelli, and it pays the top CDD class.
Data updated: September 2026. Every row below uses the same yardstick: Lee County qualified improved-home deeds for all recorded history, matched by plat, with the mean of each sale’s own price per heated square foot, including any builder-direct first sales. Every neighborhood here has fewer than 10 sales on record, so treat each median as indicative only.
Neighborhood | Homes | Built | Median heated sq ft | Recorded home sales | Median sale | Mean $/sq ft | CDD FY2027 per home |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Sardinia | 8 | 2019 to 2025 | 5,290 | 3 (since 2020) | $4,900,000 | $1,024 | $2,856.44 |
Lugano | 11 | 2018 to 2023 | 6,431 | 4 (since 2020) | $6,175,000 | $1,150 | $2,856.44 |
San Lorenzo | 22 lots, 20 built | 2023 to 2026 | 4,268 | 7 (since 2022) | $4,200,000 | $1,026 | $2,856.44 |
Sorrento | 11 | 2009 to 2018 | 6,333 | 6 (since 2011) | $3,982,500 | $642 | $2,856.44 |
Castelli | 8 | 2007 to 2022 | 6,486 | 9 (since 2009) | $3,250,000 | $585 | $1,588.14 |
Positano | 21 lots, under construction | new | not on the roll | 1 lot-stage record | from $6.9 million (developer) | n/a | $2,083.48 |
San Lorenzo’s price per square foot uses its five sales with a heated-area figure. Positano’s line is the developer’s current starting price for new construction, not a recorded sale.
Lugano is Sardinia’s closest match: 11 single-family estates on Via Lugano Court, platted in The Peninsula Phase Four, built from 2018 to 2023, in the same SF 2 CDD class and the same Zone X. It is larger, with a median of about 6,400 heated square feet, and it has traded higher. It is the rival in the decision section below.
San Lorenzo, on Via Parma Way in Costa Maggiore, is the other newly built estate street, finished from 2023 to 2026, with somewhat smaller homes that have sold at almost exactly Sardinia’s price per square foot. Positano is the developer’s current three-story beachfront product, which it markets from $6.9 million with 11 residences planned; for a buyer, it is the new-construction alternative to a Sardinia resale, with the developer’s golf waitlist bypass attached.
Sorrento on The Peninsula and Castelli are the older estate enclaves, built largely between 2007 and 2018, with larger floor plans at lower prices per square foot. A buyer choosing between Sardinia and either one is choosing between a home finished in the last few years and a bigger house that may need updating. Castelli also carries a lower CDD line, $1,588.14, because its debt repays the District’s Series 2022 bonds, which run to 2032.
Sardinia versus Lugano comes down to size, form and price: Sardinia is the smaller, vertical, three-story choice, eight homes at a $4,900,000 median on the county deed record, and Lugano is the larger single-family estate street, 11 homes at a $6,175,000 median, with both paying the same $2,856.44 CDD line.

Choose Sardinia if you want the newest construction on The Peninsula, a raised, view-first floor plan with an elevator, one of only eight homes and a price that has run below Lugano’s on the recorded deeds. Choose Lugano if you want more interior space, a larger street of eleven homes and a more conventional estate layout, and you are prepared to pay more for it. Either way, both streets are so small that the practical question is often which one produces a seller first. Sellers in either neighborhood can start with a free home valuation or call Jesse at (239) 898-6072; buyers can call Marc at (239) 287-5873 or read how we represent buyers.
The honest case for Sardinia is a new custom beach house, one of only eight, with raised living floors over the water and young roofs and systems; the honest case against it is vertical living, unpublished association dues, the community’s top CDD class and so few sales that pricing any single Sardinia home takes real work.
If the pros fit, sellers can get a free Sardinia home valuation or call Jesse at (239) 898-6072, and buyers can call Marc at (239) 287-5873 or read how we represent buyers.
If you’re searching for a Sardinia listing agent, or thinking, ‘I need someone to sell my Sardinia home…’, start with the record: three qualified Sardinia home sales since 2020, a $4,900,000 median, and one resale at $4,900,000 in June 2026. McGreevy and Comisar price, prepare and market Sardinia homes from that record, not from a community average.
Our credentials as your Sardinia listing agent:
In the last 12 months Sardinia has seen 1 resale in the Lee County qualified-deed record, at $4,900,000 in June 2026. Over all recorded history the record shows 3 home sales, 1 builder-direct and 2 resales, and $14,525,000 in volume. The Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull shows that one Sardinia sale at 134 days on the market and 82.4 percent of its $5,950,000 list price, a single data point rather than a median; we tracked every qualified Sardinia deed, and we will walk you through each one.
Three things. First, the comparable set is tiny, so a Sardinia price has to be built from three Sardinia deeds, adjusted for size, bedrooms, finishes and view, and checked against Lugano, San Lorenzo and the new Positano pricing. Second, two associations and the CDD sit on every sale, so the Sardinia estoppel, the Master Association estoppel and the CDD line from your tax bill should be in hand before the first showing. Third, the builder’s plan and the home’s documentation carry the price, so we assemble the builder, the plan, the permits and the certificate of occupancy, and we tell golf buyers the truth up front about the $140,000 initiation and the waitlist.

Price it from the three qualified Sardinia deeds, weighted toward the $4,900,000 June 2026 resale and the $5,900,000 March 2025 resale, then adjust for heated area, bedrooms, finishes and the view from each level. Check the result against Lugano’s $6,175,000 median and San Lorenzo’s $4,200,000 median on the same yardstick. A single-sale price is a guess; a documented price case is a strategy.
Yes. On a street of eight custom homes, the builder, the plan and the finish level are among the few hard differences a buyer can compare. Seagate’s Sabbia and Gulfshore’s Casa Mare were both published in detail, and we present your home’s builder, plan and permit record as part of its value story.
The Sardinia Homeowners’ Association estoppel certificate, the Master Association estoppel certificate, your latest Lee County tax bill showing the $2,856.44 CDD line, the Sardinia declaration and rules, your permit history through the certificate of occupancy, the elevator service record and your wind-mitigation report. Having them ready at listing shortens the buyer’s review and protects your price.
Florida law requires you to give the buyer the homeowners’ association disclosure summary and the CDD notice in the contract. Whether the Sardinia association must approve a buyer is set by the Sardinia declaration, which is not posted online; we read it at listing so no approval step surprises your closing date.
Some buyers value a turnkey home, and the Sabbia itself was marketed furnished. Furnishings should be priced and listed separately in the contract, because a deed’s recorded price can differ from an asking or MLS price when personal property is separated out.
There is only one recent Sardinia days-on-market figure: the June 2026 resale took 134 days on the market in the Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull. With eight homes and three recorded home sales in six years, the right buyer may not be in the market the week you list, so price, presentation and reach matter more than the calendar.

These are the questions buyers ask us about Sardinia at Miromar Lakes, answered from the county record, the association and CDD filings, the builders’ published announcements and the developer’s own pages.
Sardinia is a neighborhood of eight single-family homes on Miromar Lakes Parkway inside Miromar Lakes Beach & Golf Club, recorded as Miromar Lakes Unit XVI-A Sardinia under Lee County Instrument 2017000183766. Its builders marketed the homes as three-story Beach Houses. It has its own homeowners’ association under the community’s Master Association.
There are eight homes in Sardinia, lots 1 through 8, all coded single-family on the Lee County Property Appraiser roll. Lee County’s approval for the neighborhood, ADD2016-00206, was for 8 units, and the Miromar Lakes CDD’s Fiscal Year 2027 budget also bills Sardinia as 8 assessment units.
Every Sardinia home is on Miromar Lakes Parkway, at odd-numbered addresses from 17831 to 17845, about nine tenths of a mile east of the Beach Clubhouse at 18061 Miromar Lakes Parkway in a straight line. Sardinia’s builders placed it on The Peninsula.
Sardinia is in Lee County, in unincorporated Lee County near Estero, not inside the Village of Estero or the City of Fort Myers. It sits east of Interstate 75, and its mailing address is Miromar Lakes, FL 33913. Permits come from Lee County, and fire service from the San Carlos Park Fire District.
No. Miromar Lakes is not an incorporated municipality; the Census geocoder returns no incorporated place for it, and Lee County’s records place it in unincorporated Lee County. “Miromar Lakes” is a mailing name the Postal Service accepts for ZIP code 33913, which is why Sardinia addresses read Miromar Lakes, FL.
Two builders published model homes in Sardinia: Seagate Development Group built the Sabbia, begun in late 2017, and Gulfshore Homes built the Casa Mare, begun in February 2018. No public source we found names the builders of the other six homes. The developer is Miromar Development Corporation.
The county roll dates the eight homes from 2019 to 2025: two in 2019, two in 2021, one in 2022, one in 2024 and two in 2025. The homesites themselves sold as land between September 2017 and January 2022.
The six Sardinia homes with a heated-area figure on the county roll run 4,509 to 6,015 heated square feet, with a median of 5,290, and three to six bedrooms. The builders’ “total square feet” figures, which count garages, terraces and decks, run much higher: 9,329 for the Sabbia as first announced and 9,819 for the Casa Mare.
Sardinia’s builders called the homes Beach Houses and described them as “set across from the 700-acre freshwater lake”, with the Sabbia on “a lakefront homesite” and the Casa Mare offering “beach access”. The community’s three miles of private white-sand beach run along Lake Como at the Beach Club. See a specific lot before you rely on any description of its frontage.
The builders’ 2018 announcements place Sardinia “on the Peninsula” at Miromar Lakes, the area that also holds the Marina on the Peninsula and neighborhoods such as Lugano, Cassina and Sorrento. On the county roll Sardinia is its own plat, Unit XVI-A, separate from The Peninsula phase plats.
Yes, within limits. The Master Association’s rules allow lake swimming only within 50 feet of shore in the roped area by the Beach Club, and never from sundown to dawn. The Beach Club’s 10,000 square foot zero-edge pool is the everyday swimming option, and the Sardinia builders’ plans include elevated private pools.
Boats are allowed on Lake Como if registered with the Master Association: motorboats and pontoons up to 23 feet (pontoon motors 40 horsepower or less) and sailboats up to 21 feet; personal watercraft are prohibited. The Marina on the Peninsula rents slips. Lake Como is a freshwater lake with no Gulf access, so there is no boating route to open water.
Sardinia owners pay Sardinia Homeowners’ Association dues and Miromar Lakes Master Association dues, and neither association publishes its amount. The estoppel certificate from each association, which Florida Statute 720.30851 requires on request, gives a buyer the current figures before closing.
Yes. The Miromar Lakes Community Development District’s adopted Fiscal Year 2027 budget sets Sardinia’s assessment at $2,856.44 per home: $2,116.46 of debt service and $739.98 of operations and maintenance. It is collected on the Lee County property tax bill.
Golf is optional. The Miromar Lakes Golf Club’s official page puts the initiation fee at $140,000, up from $110,000 before December 1, 2023, and a waitlist applies. The developer says new-construction buyers can skip the waitlist; a Sardinia purchase today is a resale.
Yes. Sardinia is inside the gated Miromar Lakes community, which has a staffed gatehouse and two entrances. Residents register their vehicles with the Master Association and receive a decal and transponder for the main gate.
No. No primary source designates Miromar Lakes as 55+ housing, and the Master Association’s rules count dependent children under 25 as part of a registered household. Sardinia is open to buyers of any age.
Leasing is allowed, but the minimum term and any approval step are in the Sardinia declaration and master documents, which are not posted online. When a home is leased, the owner designates the tenant as the Beach Club user for the lease term.
Yes, subject to the Sardinia declaration and master documents, which set any limits and are not posted online. The Master Association’s published rule bars pets from the Beach Club, except assistance animals.
Sardinia is in FEMA Zone X, an area of minimal flood hazard, on map panel 12071C0582F, effective August 28, 2008. Flood insurance is generally not required by a federally backed lender in Zone X but is available, and unincorporated Lee County’s CRS Class 5 rating gives a 25 percent NFIP discount.
We found no primary source documenting surge or specific structural damage inside Miromar Lakes from Hurricane Ian in 2022, and we make no claim either way. Ian’s surge struck the coast well to the west. Four of the eight Sardinia homes carry a year built of 2022 or later; ask any seller for its storm-repair and claim history.
The School District of Lee County uses proximity-based school choice, so families rank schools within the zone tied to their address rather than receiving one assigned school. Check the district’s School Enrollment Zones map for a specific Sardinia address. Florida Gulf Coast University is next door.
The developer puts Southwest Florida International Airport 10 to 15 minutes from Miromar Lakes. Our free-flow routing estimate from the Sales Gallery is about 9 minutes; allow more in season.
The National Association of Home Builders named Miromar Lakes its Community of the Year in January 2011 and its Beach Clubhouse the Best Clubhouse in 2010, and in 2024 the Lee Building Industry Association named it the Grand Best Master-Planned Community of the Year.

In an eight-home neighborhood with three recorded home sales in six years, we tracked every qualified Sardinia deed so you know what a fair price is before one comes to market. Call Marc at (239) 287-5873.
These are the questions Sardinia owners ask us before a sale, answered from the county record, the association and CDD filings, the builders’ releases, the Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull and the other facts on this page.
Your Sardinia home’s value sits inside a recorded range: three qualified Sardinia home sales since 2020 ran from $3,725,000 to $5,900,000 at a $4,900,000 median, and the two resales, in March 2025 and June 2026, cleared $1,000 a heated square foot. Where your home lands depends on its size, bedrooms, finishes, builder and the view from each level. We build that number from the Sardinia deeds themselves; start with a free valuation or call Jesse at (239) 898-6072.
The Lee County qualified-deed record shows one Sardinia home sale since September 2025: $4,900,000 on June 15, 2026, for a 2022 home of 4,509 heated square feet with three bedrooms. The Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull shows the same sale at the same price, with a June 25, 2026 MLS closing date, after 134 days on the market and at 82.4 percent of its $5,950,000 list price.
Sardinia was sold as eight homesites, and the homes were built on them from 2019 to 2025, so most houses have never changed hands. That is scarcity, not weakness. The effect on your price is on the appraisal side: with three deeds inside the neighborhood, an appraiser will lean on Lugano, San Lorenzo and the other Peninsula estates, so a well-documented price case matters more here than almost anywhere in Miromar Lakes.
On the same all-history county-deed yardstick, Sardinia’s median is $4,900,000 at a mean of $1,024 per square foot, Lugano’s $6,175,000 at $1,150, San Lorenzo’s $4,200,000 at $1,026, Sorrento’s $3,982,500 at $642 and Castelli’s $3,250,000 at $585. Buyers weigh Sardinia as newer and more vertical than the older estates and smaller than Lugano, so its price per square foot tracks the new builds rather than the older enclaves.
The eight Sardinia homesites sold as land between September 2017 and January 2022 for $1,000,000 to $1,700,000 in the qualified-deed record, the last at $1,700,000. Land value matters because it sets a floor: a buyer compares your finished home with the cost of a comparable lot plus new construction, and in Miromar Lakes today that comparison runs through Positano, which the developer markets from $6.9 million.
Start with the two Sardinia resales, $5,900,000 in March 2025 and $4,900,000 in June 2026, then the $3,725,000 builder-direct sale from 2020 as history, not as a comparable. Adjust each for heated area, bedrooms, finishes and view, and check the result against Lugano and San Lorenzo sales on the same yardstick. We do not price a Sardinia home from the Miromar Lakes community median, which mixes condominiums with estates.
Treat it as a starting guess. An automated estimate needs recent comparable sales, and Sardinia has three home sales in six years, one of them a furnished builder’s model. A model that averages those without seeing the home’s size, finishes and view can miss a Sardinia value by a million dollars in either direction; a local, document-based valuation built from the deeds and the builder’s plan is the reliable route.
It helps with the right buyer and narrows the pool with others. The raised living levels, elevator, elevated pool and upper-level terraces are exactly what the Sardinia builders sold, and buyers who want water views from above pay for them. Buyers who want single-level living will look at Lugano or Castelli instead, so we market a Sardinia home to the buyer who wants its form, and we show the elevator’s service record up front.
Yes, and by more than square footage does. Sardinia’s two resales both cleared $1,000 a square foot, and the June 2026 resale did it on the smallest home with a figure on the county roll. What each level looks out on, along with finishes and condition, is one of the first adjustments we make, and we document it with photographs taken from every floor.
Positano is the developer’s current three-story beachfront product, marketed from $6.9 million with 11 residences planned, and it sets the ceiling a Sardinia buyer compares against. A resale Sardinia home offers a finished house now, usually below that starting price, but Positano buyers can skip the golf waitlist, which a Sardinia resale buyer cannot. We price and market your home with that trade in plain view.
Many Miromar Lakes buyers are seasonal, in Southwest Florida from roughly November to May, so touring activity concentrates in those months. With eight homes and no competing Sardinia listing on the Southwest Florida MLS at September 30, 2026, a well-prepared home can sell in any month; aim to be photographed, documented and on the market before the season’s buyers arrive.
Before, if you can. Listing in the fall lets the documents, photographs and pricing be settled before seasonal buyers tour, and puts your home in front of them the week they arrive. For a Sardinia home, that preparation includes the builder’s plan, the permit history through the certificate of occupancy, the elevator and pool records and the two estoppel certificates.
McGreevy and Comisar are Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008 and lead Domain Realty Group, the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012. For Sardinia specifically, we pulled every qualified Sardinia deed, the homesite sales, the association’s filings, the builders’ releases and the CDD budget before writing this page, and we price and document a Sardinia listing from that record.
A buyer shopping from out of state or abroad needs the marketing to answer their questions before they fly in: the eight-home scarcity, the builder and plan, the three recorded sales, the Zone X flood designation, the $2,856.44 CDD line and the golf rules. We present the home with photography from every level and a document package, and we reach buyers already shopping the Peninsula estates, Positano and San Lorenzo.
Yes. On an eight-home street a quiet sale can make sense, and we can bring your home to qualified buyers privately before, or instead of, a public launch. The trade is exposure: a public listing reaches every buyer shopping Miromar Lakes estates, while a private sale reaches fewer. We lay out both paths with your goals, your timing and the recorded Sardinia sales in front of us.
Golf at Miromar Lakes is a separate, optional membership, and its resale transfer terms and dues are not published in any public document we found. Beach Club privileges run with the lot through the Master Association, one registered household per lot. Confirm your golf membership’s terms with the club before listing, so a buyer who wants golf gets a clean answer up front.
The official golf page puts the initiation fee at $140,000, up from $110,000 before December 1, 2023, and a waitlist applies. The developer says new-construction buyers can skip the waitlist, which a Sardinia resale buyer cannot. We tell golf-minded buyers both facts at the first showing, because learning them late can end a negotiation.
An estoppel certificate is the association’s formal statement of what is owed on your home: regular assessments, any balance and any special assessments. Florida Statute 720.30851 governs its content and fees. A Sardinia sale needs two, one from the Sardinia Homeowners’ Association and one from the Master Association, whose official Contact page routes estoppel requests. We request both at listing so no number surprises your closing.
Buyers will ask for three numbers: Sardinia Homeowners’ Association dues, Miromar Lakes Master Association dues and the $2,856.44 CDD line on the tax bill. Neither association publishes its dues online, so the estoppel certificates carry the figures a buyer can rely on. Have both certificates and your latest tax bill ready, and the fee question becomes a line item instead of a delay.
The Miromar Lakes CDD assessment is collected on the Lee County property tax bill, not billed separately. For Fiscal Year 2027 the Sardinia line is $2,856.44 per home, $2,116.46 of debt service and $739.98 of operations. Florida Statute 190.048 requires the sale contract to carry a bold notice that the District may levy assessments, so your buyer sees it in the contract and on the bill.
The Miromar Lakes CDD’s levy sheets carry a pre-payment column, and some units in the community have prepaid their debt assessment, so prepayment exists. The District states per-parcel principal balances are available by parcel ID. Whether prepaying makes sense before a sale is a pricing question: the buyer sees a lower tax bill, and you recover the payoff only if the price reflects it.
Sardinia’s debt line repays the District’s Series 2025 refunding bonds, whose scheduled final maturity is May 1, 2035. The $739.98 operations and maintenance portion continues after that, because it funds the District’s ongoing stormwater and lake work. Tell buyers the debt line has a scheduled end date, and avoid promising the exact year the assessment stops.
Sardinia sits in FEMA Zone X, an area of minimal flood hazard, on panel 12071C0582F. Florida Statute 689.302 still requires every residential seller to give the statutory flood disclosure at or before the contract: whether you know of flood damage during your ownership, have filed a flood insurance claim or have received federal flood assistance. A Zone X designation does not remove that duty.
It can. A Zone X home does not need one for a federally backed loan, but a buyer’s insurer may ask, and a certificate that shows the finished floor well above the surrounding grade answers the question quickly. Lee County’s flood portal lets you search for an elevation certificate already on file for your parcel; if one exists, we add it to your listing package.
Neither is a legal requirement to sell, but buyers’ insurers ask for them, and a wind-mitigation report can lower the buyer’s premium. Sardinia homes were built from 2019 to 2025 at a 160 mph design wind speed inside the wind-borne debris region, so a current report that documents impact-rated openings and roof-to-wall connections is a selling point. We recommend having it done before listing.
Pull the full history for your address in Lee County’s eConnect portal, which needs no account. On a home built between 2019 and 2025, look for the original building permit through its certificate of occupancy, plus the pool, elevator, dock and any later work. An open or expired permit on a new custom home, often a pool or screen enclosure, is one of the easiest closing delays to prevent.
If your home had storm damage, a flood claim or federal flood assistance, the Florida flood disclosure and general disclosure duties apply. We found no primary source documenting surge or structural damage inside Miromar Lakes from Hurricane Ian, and four of the eight Sardinia homes carry a year built of 2022 or later. Document any repair with its permit, and disclose it; a documented repair sells better than a surprise.
The homestead exemption and the Save Our Homes cap belong to you, not the house, so they end on the Sardinia home when you sell. Florida’s portability rules can carry some of your accumulated Save Our Homes benefit to a new Florida homestead; the Department of Revenue’s PT-112 guide explains the steps. Your buyer applies for their own exemption by March 1 after they own and live there on January 1.
Your buyer’s taxable value resets toward market value the year after purchase, so their bill will usually be higher than yours. For Sardinia’s taxing district the 2025 millage was 13.2715 mills, about $53,086 on an illustrative $4,000,000 taxable value, with the $2,856.44 CDD line added. Explaining that reset up front keeps a buyer’s lender and insurer from being surprised mid-contract.
A home built between 2019 and 2025 rarely needs updating; it needs presentation. Buyers pay for the views and the outdoor rooms, so we focus preparation on the upper-level terraces, the elevated pool and sundecks, lighting and glass, and we fix small items an inspector will flag, such as deck caulking and pool equipment. Spend only where a buyer will see it and pay for it.
Possibly, if the Sardinia declaration allows it, but a tenant holds the Beach Club privileges for the lease term and must be registered with the Master Association, and showings have to work around the tenant. A seasonal lease can overlap the best selling months. If a tenant is in place, tell us the lease end date so we can plan the launch around it.
Yes. Many Sardinia owners are seasonal, and we manage the sale locally: access, showings, inspections, the estoppel requests and the permit record. The quote from one of our clients above, who sold without living in the area, is the kind of result we plan for.
The National Association of Home Builders named Miromar Lakes its Community of the Year in January 2011 and its Beach Clubhouse the Best Clubhouse in 2010, and the Lee Building Industry Association named it the Grand Best Master-Planned Community of the Year in 2024. Out-of-area buyers know those awards, and they help bring them to the community; your Sardinia home still has to win on its own record.
A listing should say Miromar Lakes, in unincorporated Lee County near Estero, with the Miromar Lakes, FL 33913 mailing address, and it should name Sardinia, Miromar Lakes Parkway and The Peninsula. Buyers search for the county and the city, and many are confused by the mailing name, so a clear location line saves a round of questions and puts your home in the right comparison set.
