Pinehurst at Pelican Sound is a single-family neighborhood inside the master-planned community of Pelican Sound in Estero, Florida. It is the Estate Homes tier of Pelican Sound Golf & River Club: 82 fee-simple homes on two streets, Pinehurst Greens Drive and Pinehurst Greens Court, built from 1998 to 2000, with the largest floor plans in the community (2,088 to 3,220 heated square feet on the Lee County roll) and the only neighborhood association in Pelican Sound that runs itself without a management company. Every home carries the bundled 27-hole golf, river and racquet membership of the 1,299-residence community. McGreevy and Comisar lead Domain Realty Group, the #1 real estate team in Southwest Florida since 2012, and are Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008.

Pinehurst homes rarely sell. The Southwest Florida MLS shows no Pinehurst closing in the 12 months to September 29, 2026 and only seven in five years, so this page does not lean on a 12-month median. It lists every sale instead, adds the Lee County recorded-sales file (15 qualified sales in five years, median $1,210,000), and explains what each number can and cannot tell an owner or a buyer.

A word on the name, because three different places share it. This page covers Pinehurst at Pelican Sound Neighborhood Association, Inc. (Florida Division of Corporations document N97000005326) and the 82 homes on Pinehurst Greens Drive and Court in Estero, ZIP 33928. It is not Pinehurst, North Carolina, or its resort, and it is not Pinehurst at Stratford Place, a separate group of associations on the state's corporate register. The association was first filed in September 1997 under the name Pinehurst at Pelican Sound Condominium Association; two weeks later its restated Articles renamed it a neighborhood association and declared that it is not a condominium association. Pelican Sound itself is a different community from Pelican Landing, Pelican Bay, Pelican Marsh and Pelican Preserve.

Recent Pinehurst at Pelican Sound track record (last 12 months): In the last 12 months Pinehurst at Pelican Sound has seen 1 recorded resale, a four-bedroom home that the Lee County file records at $1,375,000 in January 2026, and no closing marketed through the Southwest Florida MLS (Matrix, pulled September 29, 2026). Across five years the picture is fuller: 7 MLS closings (6 marketed, 1 entered after closing) and 15 qualified county-recorded sales, from $755,000 in September 2021 to $1,650,000 in August 2024, with a county median of $1,210,000 (n = 15). The six marketed MLS sales closed at a median of 100.0% of final list price and a median of 0.5 days on market.

We tracked every one of the 7 Pinehurst MLS closings and all 15 qualified county-recorded Pinehurst sales of the last 60 months, and each is listed in the market snapshot below by month, price, bedrooms and size only.

For Pinehurst at Pelican Sound sellers: premium marketing, including cinematic video, drone, professional photography, a qualified-buyer database, and discretion when a sale needs to stay quiet. On a street where a home comes to market about three times a year, most buyers have been waiting for one, so the work is pricing from a thin record, presenting the larger floor plans properly, and having the Pinehurst association's approval and the club's paperwork moving the week the contract is signed.

For Pinehurst at Pelican Sound buyers: the first question is supply, because there was no active listing on September 29, 2026. The second is the carry: the club assessment is a published $11,495 a year, the Pinehurst neighborhood dues are set by an owner-run board and are not published. The third is age and condition, because every home was built between 1998 and 2000.

Living in Pinehurst at Pelican Sound as a Homebuyer

Living in Pinehurst at Pelican Sound means owning one of the largest single-family homes inside Pelican Sound's gate, on one of two quiet streets, with a small owner-run association, full bundled use of the 27-hole course, river boat ramp, racquet center, pools and dining, no equity deposit and no golf waitlist.

What Is Pinehurst at Pelican Sound?

Pinehurst at Pelican Sound is one of twelve marketed neighborhoods inside Pelican Sound Golf & River Club, a gated community of 1,299 residences between US-41 and Estero Bay. Pelican Sound's own Types of Residences flyer gives Pinehurst a tier of its own, Estate Homes, above the Executive Homes of The Masters, Gleneagles and Torrey Pines. It is one of only four single-family neighborhoods in the community; every other Pelican Sound neighborhood is a condominium.

The Estate Tier, in Numbers

The club describes Pinehurst as 82 homes sized from 2,147 to 3,152 square feet with a 2.5 or 3 car garage. The county roll, which measures heated area, records 2,088 to 3,220 square feet and a median of 2,645. That median is about 545 square feet larger than the median Masters home on the same roll (2,100 square feet), and no Pinehurst home on the roll has fewer than three bedrooms.

Two Streets, Eighty-Two Homes

Pinehurst is a street-defined neighborhood. The county roll gives 56 homes a Pinehurst Greens Drive address and 26 a Pinehurst Greens Court address, and every one of the 82 is coded single-family. Two more parcels on the street are coded non-residential. The homes are not one recorded subdivision of their own: they sit on lots in Blocks C, D and E of Pelican Sound Phase 1 and Blocks C and E of Pelican Sound Phase 2, which also hold Gleneagles homes, so the street, not the plat, is the neighborhood line.

Twelve Names, Twenty-Two Associations, One Gate

Pelican Sound is twelve marketed neighborhood names and 22 associations, not 22 neighborhoods. Pinehurst is one name and one association. It is the only one of the 22 that Pelican Sound's 2026 Fact Sheet lists with "The Pinehurst Board" as its contact instead of a management firm, which shapes how dues are set, how approvals move and who answers a buyer's questions.

Who Pinehurst Fits

The public record supports three uses of the property: a full-time golf-and-boating home with room for family visits in a three or four-bedroom plan, a seasonal home in a neighborhood small enough that owners run it themselves, and a move-up from a Pelican Sound condominium or executive home without leaving the club. We read these from the product, the fee structure and the leasing rules, and we describe the property, not the people who own it.

What Pinehurst Does Not Have

Five things buyers sometimes assume. No new construction: every home was built from 1998 to 2000. No published dues sheet: the Pinehurst board sets quarterly dues and does not post them. No management company: owners on the board do the work a manager does elsewhere. No condominium structure: the 1997 Articles say in capitals that the association is not a condominium association, so Chapter 718 milestone inspections and condominium reserve rules do not apply. No age restriction: Pelican Sound is all-ages.

Pinehurst at Pelican Sound Market Snapshot: Every Sale, Listed

Pinehurst at Pelican Sound had no MLS closing in the 12 months to September 29, 2026 and seven in 60 months, too few for any MLS window to reach 10 sales. So this snapshot lists every Pinehurst sale, then uses the Lee County recorded-sales file, 15 qualified sales in five years at a $1,210,000 median, as the long view.

Data updated: September 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, pulled September 29, 2026; Lee County Property Appraiser recorded sales through August 21, 2026)

How to read the numbers. MLS figures use MLS living area; county figures are DOR-qualified recorded deed prices and are never mixed with MLS square-foot figures. Medians use the mean of the middle pair when n is even, and both middle values are named. Every window under 10 sales is labelled a small sample. Sold-to-list means sold price over final list price. One of the seven MLS sales was entered after closing and was not marketed through the MLS; it is listed and named once below, it counts as a sale, and it is left out of days on market and sold-to-list.

The MLS Windows

Window to September 29, 2026MLS closings (marketed)Median soldMedian $ per MLS sq ftMedian days on marketMedian sold-to-list

60 months6 (small sample)$1,085,300 (mean of $995,599 and $1,175,000)$399.750.5100.0%

No window reaches 10 MLS closings, so none of these medians is a market price. The 60-month median is pulled down by three sales from late 2021, before the 2022 to 2025 price step shown in the county record below.

Every Pinehurst MLS Closing, Last 60 Months

Seven closings, newest first, by month, price, bedrooms and size only. The 60-month marketed volume is $6,445,599 (our arithmetic from the six marketed sales), or $7,755,599 with the sale entered after closing.

Sep 20213, 2 baths2,394$800,000$755,00094.4%0

Counted with the six marketed sales, the January 2024 sale entered after closing makes seven, and the seven-sale median is $1,175,000 (n = 7, small sample).

What Days on Market of Zero Means Here

Four of the six marketed Pinehurst sales show zero or one day on market. In MLS terms that usually means a buyer was lined up before or at the moment the listing went live. On an 82-home street with few listings, that pattern says buyers wait for Pinehurst homes; it also means a seller who lists at the wrong price may never find out, because the first buyer to call takes it.

The County Record: All 15 Qualified Sales in Five Years

The county file catches what the MLS misses. Between September 29, 2021 and August 21, 2026 it holds 15 qualified Pinehurst sales: the seven MLS sales above and eight more that never closed as MLS sales. The eight are listed here.

Apr 20223 bedrooms, 3 baths2,797Drive$1,210,000

Across all 15, the county median is $1,210,000 (n = 15), from $755,000 to $1,650,000. More than half of Pinehurst's recorded sales in five years, eight of 15, happened without an MLS closing. Anyone pricing a Pinehurst home from the MLS alone is reading less than half the street.

The 36-month county median sits $132,500 above the 60-month median (our arithmetic), because every Pinehurst sale recorded since September 2023 was at $1,175,000 or more.

The county file also carries 1998 and 1999 transfers recorded against Pinehurst lots, including bulk transfers at multi-million-dollar prices. We read those as land and construction-era transfers while WCI built the street, not as home prices, and leave them out. The file we hold has no qualified Pinehurst sale between 2002 and 2008. Every yearly figure is a small sample.

The Step From 2021 to 2022

The clearest move in the record is a single step. Pinehurst's qualified sales ran from $739,000 to $995,599 in 2021 (n = 7, median $865,000), and every qualified sale since has been at $1,100,000 or more. The 2022 median, $1,195,000, is $330,000 above 2021's (our arithmetic). Since then the yearly medians have stayed between $1,195,000 and $1,400,000 on one to four sales a year.

Price by Bedrooms and by Street

Over the 15 county sales of the last 60 months, the 13 three-bedroom homes had a median of $1,210,000 and the two four-bedroom homes sold at $995,599 (November 2021) and $1,375,000 (January 2026). The five sales on Pinehurst Greens Court had a median of $1,195,000, and the ten on Pinehurst Greens Drive a median of $1,212,500 (mean of $1,210,000 and $1,215,000). Both splits are small samples and the dates differ, so neither street carries a proven premium.

Same Plan, Different Year

The roll shows the same heated area repeating, which lets the record compare like with like. Homes the county roll records at 2,394 to 2,395 square feet sold at $755,000 in September 2021, $1,175,000 in September 2022, $1,310,000 in January 2024 and $1,175,000 in April 2024. Homes the roll records at 2,797 square feet sold at $925,000 in September 2021, $1,195,000 in March 2022, $1,210,000 in April 2022 and $1,215,000 in December 2024. Time explains most of the spread from 2021 to 2022; condition and position explain what is left.

Recorded Transfers That Are Not Qualified Sales

The county file also shows three priced Pinehurst transfers in the window that are not coded as qualified sales, at $920,000 (August 2021), $928,000 (October 2022) and $1,180,000 (April 2024). The appraiser excludes a transfer from the qualified set for reasons such as a related-party sale or an unusual condition, so we leave them out of every median above.

How Often Pinehurst Homes Change Hands

Our count from the county file: 52 of the 82 Pinehurst homes have recorded at least one qualified resale since 2009, 62 sales in all, and 33 homes have done so in the ten years since September 2016 (36 sales). That is about three to four sales a year in a normal stretch and one a year in 2025 and 2026.

What Is for Sale at Pinehurst at Pelican Sound Right Now

On September 29, 2026 the MLS showed no active Pinehurst listing. With no listing, no 12-month MLS closing and one recorded sale in the county file in a year, there is no inventory to measure in months. The practical effect: the next Pinehurst listing will be priced against the county record above, and buyers who want this street should be financed and ready before it appears.

A Public-Record Sale, Walked Through: July 2025

This public-record sale is the most recent Pinehurst MLS closing, described from the MLS and county record only. A three-bedroom-plus-den, three-bath home of 2,765 MLS square feet closed in July 2025 at $1,400,000, its full list price, after 7 days on market. Three facts stand out. It is the highest MLS-recorded Pinehurst price in five years. It sold at list in a week, as the street's history says it would. At $506 per MLS square foot it was also the highest of the six marketed sales on that measure, though the county file holds one higher price, the $1,650,000 August 2024 sale that never closed through the MLS.

For that buyer, the price did not show the club's one-time fee at closing ($20,300 for a first-time Pelican Sound owner, or $11,495 for a returning owner), the $11,495 annual club assessment, the Pinehurst neighborhood dues, or about $1,209 a year in River Ridge district assessments on the tax bill.

How Did Pinehurst at Pelican Sound Come to Be?

Pinehurst at Pelican Sound began in 1997, when the association was incorporated on September 18 at WCI Communities' Bonita Springs address and restated two weeks later as a neighborhood association, not a condominium. The 82 homes followed from 1998 to 2000, alongside the golf course that opened in May 1998, and the community passed to resident control in January 2003.

Filed as a Condominium Association, Restated in Two Weeks

The Florida Division of Corporations lists Pinehurst at Pelican Sound Neighborhood Association, Inc. as a Florida not-for-profit corporation filed September 18, 1997, document N97000005326, status active. The state's name history shows its first name: Pinehurst at Pelican Sound Condominium Association, Inc. On September 30, 1997 the board adopted Amended and Restated Articles, filed with the state on October 2, 1997, that changed the name and state in capitals, in Article I, that the association is not a condominium association under Chapter 718. Article II gave the first office as 24301 Walden Center Drive in Bonita Springs, the address WCI used for its Pelican Sound filings.

What the 1997 Articles Set Up

The restated Articles describe a residential neighborhood homeowners association acting under a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Easements to be recorded in Lee County. They set a board of at least three directors, let the board or 25% of the voting interests propose amendments after turnover, require 67% of the voting interests to adopt one, and make an amendment effective only when it is filed with the state and recorded in the county. They also say that where the Articles and the Declaration conflict, the Declaration prevails.

Built 1998 to 2000, With the Course

Pelican Sound's history page says the golf course designed by Mike Hill and Chip Powell opened in May 1998, the River Club restaurant in September 1999 and the Main Clubhouse on New Year's Eve 1999. The county roll's year-built field puts 14 Pinehurst homes in 1998, 42 in 1999 and 26 in 2000, a median of 1999. That makes Pinehurst, with Gleneagles, among the first homes finished in the community, a year or two ahead of The Masters, whose homes the roll dates to 2000 through 2002.

Phase 1 and Phase 2 on the Plat

The legal descriptions on the county roll place 34 Pinehurst homes in Pelican Sound Phase 1 (Plat Book 62, Page 41: Block C lots 1 to 7, Block D lots 1 to 26, and Block E lot 1) and 48 in Pelican Sound Phase 2 (Plat Book 63, Pages 65 to 68: Block C lots 8 to 28 and Block E lots 2 to 28). The Phase 1 lots were finished first: all 14 homes the roll dates to 1998 are Phase 1 lots, and every Phase 2 home is dated 1999 or 2000 (our count from the roll).

The 2003 Turnover and Resident Control

Pelican Sound's history page records that the developer turned the community over to its members in January 2003, when they elected a new board. The Pinehurst association has filed an annual report with the state every year since 1998, the latest on February 14, 2026, and it filed amended annual reports in 2022, 2023 and 2024, the record of a board whose officers are its own owners.

Self-Managed From the Owners' Own Street

The state record shows how Pinehurst runs. Its 2026 annual report lists five officers, a president, a treasurer, a secretary and two vice presidents, and every one gives a Pinehurst Greens Drive or Pinehurst Greens Court address; the registered agent and the principal office are on Pinehurst Greens Court as well. Pelican Sound's 2026 Fact Sheet names "The Pinehurst Board" where it names a management firm for every other neighborhood, and the club's Real Estate page directs buyers to the Pinehurst association's president for the purchase application and dues. We do not publish owners' names or house numbers.

A home at Pinehurst at Pelican Sound is a detached single-family estate home of 2,088 to 3,220 heated square feet on the Lee County roll, with three or four bedrooms, two or three baths and a 2.5 or 3 car garage per the club's flyer, built by WCI from 1998 to 2000.

Size and Bedrooms on the Roll

The roll is the only source that covers all 82 homes, so this is the inventory a buyer actually chooses from.

Street and bedrooms (roll)HomesHeated area rangeAverage heated area
Pinehurst Greens Drive, 3 bedrooms442,088 to 2,930 sq ft2,529 sq ft
Pinehurst Greens Drive, 4 bedrooms122,558 to 3,007 sq ft2,791 sq ft
Pinehurst Greens Court, 3 bedrooms182,126 to 3,165 sq ft2,554 sq ft
Pinehurst Greens Court, 4 bedrooms82,557 to 3,220 sq ft2,745 sq ft
All 82 homes822,088 to 3,220 sq ftmedian 2,645 sq ft

The roll counts 44 homes with two baths and 38 with three. The MLS often lists a three-bedroom plan as "3 plus den", so a listing may show a room the roll does not count as a bedroom.

The Repeating Floor Plans

The roll shows a handful of heated areas repeating across the street, the signature of a builder's plan set. Eleven homes record 2,797 square feet with three bedrooms and three baths; nineteen record 2,394 or 2,395 square feet with three bedrooms and two baths; five record 2,126 square feet; and three record 2,558 square feet with four bedrooms. Those five footprints account for 38 of the 82 homes (our count). We have not found WCI's original Pinehurst plan names in a public record, so we do not name models.

The Largest Homes in Pelican Sound

No other Pelican Sound neighborhood reaches Pinehurst's size. The club's flyer puts the Executive Homes of The Masters, Gleneagles and Torrey Pines at 1,762 to 2,719 square feet, the carriage-home upper units at 2,170, and every condominium at 1,669 or less. The roll's largest Pinehurst home is 3,220 square feet and its median, 2,645, is larger than the largest Gleneagles or Torrey Pines home on the roll (2,344).

Garages and Golf Carts

Pelican Sound's flyer gives every Pinehurst home a 2.5 or 3 car garage. The half-bay matters at a golf club, where many owners keep a cart beside two cars; in 2026 the club charges an annual private cart trail fee of $2,272 plus tax, or $2,880 plus tax for an annual cart lease.

Pools, Lanais and Cages

Pelican Sound's ARC Guidelines treat pool cages as structures at the rear of single-family homes, require ARC approval to build, replace or expand a pool, cage or deck, and require every pool to be in-ground. Whether a given Pinehurst home has a pool is a listing-by-listing fact; the county file we hold does not record pools, and we do not guess.

Roofs, Paint and Doors on a Single-Family Street

The ARC Guidelines allow only complete roof replacements in Pelican Sound, with no tile harvesting, and require roof vents painted to match. Every single-family house has a designated door color on file with Club Administration, color schemes for single-family homes are kept by neighborhood, any exterior color change needs ARC approval, and no two adjacent single-family houses may share the same color scheme. On a 1998 to 2000 street, roof age and the last repaint are among the first things a buyer should ask about.

Pinehurst Greens Drive or Pinehurst Greens Court: Does the Street Matter?

Pinehurst at Pelican Sound is two streets: Pinehurst Greens Drive with 56 homes and Pinehurst Greens Court with 26. The county record shows similar homes on both and no proven price premium for either, so the choice is about the specific lot, its view and its plan more than the street name.

Pinehurst Greens Drive

The Drive holds 68% of the neighborhood (our arithmetic). Its 56 homes are 44 three-bedroom and 12 four-bedroom plans on the roll, from 2,088 to 3,007 square feet. Ten of the 15 qualified county sales of the last five years were on the Drive, at a median of $1,212,500.

Pinehurst Greens Court

The Court's 26 homes are 18 three-bedroom and 8 four-bedroom plans, from 2,126 to 3,220 square feet, and include the largest home on the roll. Five of the 15 qualified sales were on the Court, at a median of $1,195,000, and the Court holds the highest qualified Pinehurst sale of the period, $1,650,000 for a three-bedroom home of 2,959 roll square feet in August 2024.

Reading a Lot, Not a Street

The neighborhood's name, like The Masters, Gleneagles, Turnberry and Southern Hills, comes from a famous golf course, and the streets run among the golf holes and lakes. Which homes back onto a fairway, a lake or a neighbor is a lot-by-lot fact best checked on Pelican Sound's community map and in person; we do not claim a view for any home we have not seen.

What Amenities Come With a Home at Pinehurst at Pelican Sound?

A home at Pinehurst at Pelican Sound comes with bundled membership in Pelican Sound Golf & River Club: 27 holes of golf, eight Hydro-Grid tennis courts, 14 pickleball courts, five bocce courts, a fitness center, six pools and six spas, a boat launch ramp and boat storage, a boat shuttle to Lovers Key State Park, and four restaurants.

Golf: 27 Holes, Three Nines

Pelican Sound's course, designed by Chip Powell and Mike Hill, plays as three nines, so every 18-hole round pairs two of them, and the club's Q&A and membership pages describe golf as part of the bundled membership rather than an equity purchase. Members and approved lessees book tee times 10 days ahead under the 2026 Fact Sheet, and registered houseguests 2 days ahead, with guest play held until after 12:30 p.m. from January through March 31. In 2026 the member 18-hole cart fee is $29.35 plus tax.

Boating and the Estero River

Pelican Sound has a members' boat launch ramp, outdoor boat storage, canoes and kayaks, and a shuttle boat from the River Club to Lovers Key State Park. In 2026 annual boat storage is $625 plus tax, or $80 a month, and canoe or kayak storage $155 plus tax a year. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Estero River paddling guide maps the river from US-41 to Estero Bay.

Tennis, Pickleball and Bocce

The 2026 Fact Sheet lists 8 Hydro-Grid tennis courts, 14 pickleball courts and 5 bocce courts. Village of Estero Ordinance 2022-15 amended Pelican Sound's zoning to allow pickleball in the golf maintenance area, which is where the expansion came from. Tennis guest play is held until after noon from November through April.

Pools, Fitness and Dining

The club lists 6 pools, 6 spas and a kiddie pool, 3 fire pits, a fitness center, an outdoor fitness park, a dog park, a playground, a half basketball court and two horseshoe pits. Its four restaurants are The Vista at the Clubhouse, the Pavilion, the Pelican Pub and the River Club.

What Costs Extra

The club assessment does not cover cart and trail fees, boat and kayak storage, guest fees, lessons, personal training, food and beverage, or the separate Pinehurst neighborhood dues. Each of the club items is priced in the 2026 Fact Sheet; the Pinehurst dues come from the Pinehurst board.

What Are the HOA Fees at Pinehurst at Pelican Sound?

Pinehurst at Pelican Sound owners pay three recurring charges: Pelican Sound's $11,495 annual club assessment for 2026, the Pinehurst association's quarterly dues, which the owner-run board sets and does not publish, and about $1,209 a year in River Ridge Community Development District assessments on the county tax bill.

The Club Assessment

Pelican Sound's 2026 Fact Sheet lists an annual assessment of $11,495, effective January 1, 2026, for each of the 1,299 residences. The club's Q&A says the club dues are set at the annual budget meeting and cover the year's budgeted operating costs and replacement reserves; its membership page adds that they are paid to the Pelican Sound master association.

The Pinehurst Neighborhood Dues

Pelican Sound's Q&A says neighborhood association dues are billed quarterly by each neighborhood association and vary by neighborhood, and its Real Estate page says every neighborhood has a quarterly fee covering costs specific to that neighborhood. Pinehurst publishes no dues schedule, and we found no association website. Because the association is self-managed, the dues, the budget and the estoppel come from the Pinehurst board, which the club names as the contact. Ask for the current quarterly amount, the adopted budget and any special assessment in writing before you write an offer.

What We Cannot Tell You About the Dues

We have not seen a Pinehurst budget, and a budget held for members is a member record. We do not estimate the dues or say what they cover beyond what the association's public filings state. The Declaration, the Bylaws and the current budget govern, and you are entitled to read them during the contract.

The River Ridge District Line

Pelican Sound sits inside the River Ridge Community Development District, a Chapter 190 special district created by Lee County Ordinance 96-02. Its FY2026 adopted budget charges each of the 1,299 Pelican Sound units $177.21 for the General Fund and $1,031.71 for the Pelican Sound program of lake, wetland and roadway work, $1,208.92 a year in all, up from $1,012.62 in FY2025 (our arithmetic from the budget's two years). It is collected on the Lee County property tax bill, not by the club or the Pinehurst association.

Pinehurst at Pelican Sound's Layered Fees: Club, Neighborhood, District, One-Time and Tax

Pinehurst at Pelican Sound fees come in five layers: the club assessment, the Pinehurst neighborhood dues, the River Ridge district line, one-time charges at closing, and property tax and insurance. Only the first, third and fourth are published, so the board's estoppel and the tax bill complete the picture.

Layer 1: The Club

$11,495 a year in 2026, the same for a Pinehurst estate home as for the smallest Pelican Sound condominium. Every one of the 1,299 residences pays it.

Layer 2: The Pinehurst Association

Quarterly dues set by the owner-run board, not published. Ask the board for the amount, what it covers and whether any special assessment is pending or under discussion.

Layer 3: The District

$1,208.92 a year for FY2026, a non-ad valorem line on the tax bill.

Layer 4: One-Time Charges at Closing

A first-time Pelican Sound owner pays a $20,300 initiation fee at closing; a buyer who owns or has owned in Pelican Sound pays an $11,495 resale capital fee instead. The club's estoppel fee is $299. The Pinehurst association's own estoppel fee is governed by section 720.30851 of the Florida Statutes, whose text sets a base cap of $250 for an account with nothing delinquent, plus $100 for delivery within three business days, adjusted every five years for inflation.

Layer 5: Property Tax and Insurance

A Pinehurst home is taxed by Lee County, the Village of Estero and the other taxing authorities on its own assessed value, and insured by its owner. The Village describes its proposed FY2025-2026 millage of 0.7300 as the lowest municipal rate in Florida. A buyer's taxable value resets from the seller's capped value after purchase, which is why section 689.261 requires the property tax disclosure summary in the contract.

A Self-Managed Association: What It Means at Pinehurst at Pelican Sound

Pinehurst at Pelican Sound is the only one of Pelican Sound's 22 neighborhood associations without a management company. Its owner-elected board handles the dues, the purchase and lease approvals and the estoppel itself, which changes who a buyer, a seller and a closing agent deal with, and how fast.

Who Does the Work

In a managed association a licensed community association manager keeps the books, issues estoppels and processes approvals. At Pinehurst those jobs sit with the board, five officers in the 2026 state filing, all owners on Pinehurst Greens Drive and Court. Florida's homeowners' association law, Chapter 720, applies to the association either way, and section 720.3033 requires each new director to complete state-approved education within 90 days and, in an association of under 2,500 parcels, four hours of continuing education a year.

What It Means for a Sale

The Application for Approval to Purchase goes to the Pinehurst association, not to a management office, and the club requires every member to hold a certificate of approval from the neighborhood association. The estoppel, which a closing agent needs within 10 business days of a request under section 720.30851, also comes from the board. In season most boards answer quickly; in summer, when owners travel, a seller should ask the board early and give the closing agent the board's contact the week the contract is signed.

What It Means for Records

Section 720.303 requires an association of 100 or more parcels to post its governing documents on a website or app. With 82 parcels, Pinehurst is below that line, and we found no public association website. A parcel owner still has the right to inspect or copy the official records within 10 business days of a written request, so a buyer's route to the Declaration, Bylaws, rules and budget is through the seller during the contract.

What It Means for Cost

A self-managed association does not pay a management contract, which is one of the costs managed associations carry. We have not seen the Pinehurst budget and do not claim the dues are lower for it; the budget is the document that answers the question.

Pinehurst at Pelican Sound Declaration, Articles, Bylaws and Architectural Review

Pinehurst at Pelican Sound is governed by a neighborhood Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Easements recorded in Lee County, by the Amended and Restated Articles of 1997, by Bylaws, and by two layers of review for exterior work: Pelican Sound's master ARC Guidelines and any stricter Pinehurst rules.

The Neighborhood Declaration

The 1997 Articles say the association acts under a Declaration "to be recorded in the Public Records of Lee County", that membership and voting rights are set by that Declaration and the Bylaws, and that a copy of the Articles is attached to the Declaration as an exhibit. We have not read the recorded Pinehurst Declaration page by page, and we found no public posting of it, so we cite no section of it here. It is available from the Lee County Clerk's official records and must be part of the documents a seller gives a buyer.

The Articles, Article by Article

The Amended and Restated Articles filed October 2, 1997 are public on the state's corporate register. Article I names the association and states that it is not a condominium association. Article III makes it a non-profit residential neighborhood homeowners association with the powers needed to operate and regulate the neighborhood under the Declaration. Article V makes its term perpetual. Article VII requires 67% of the voting interests to amend the Articles after turnover. Article VIII sets a board of not fewer than three directors. Article IX indemnifies directors and officers except for gross negligence, willful misconduct and bad-faith criminal acts.

The Master Declaration Above It

Every Pinehurst lot is also under the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Easements for Pelican Sound Golf and River Club. The club's 2026 Fact Sheet cites its Article XIII, Section 13.13 for leasing, and requires every member to hold a certificate of approval from the neighborhood association.

Architectural Review at Pelican Sound

Pelican Sound's ARC Guidelines and Procedures, carrying 2026 board-approved revisions, require an ARC application and approval before any exterior or landscape work begins, and say that a neighborhood may have more restrictive guidelines that then govern. Gutters, re-screening, radon mitigation, screen doors and solar collectors are pre-approved but still need an application. The owner files the club's ARC application with its administrative office; trees and palms have their own removal or replacement form.

Single-Family Rules That Apply on Pinehurst Greens

Several ARC rules are written for single-family homes. Front-yard fountains, bird feeders and similar items are restricted to the rear of the property. Every house has a designated door color, and any door or garage-door color change needs approval. No two adjacent single-family houses may share a color scheme. Pool cages and pools need approval and pools must be in-ground. Antennas and satellite dishes need approval. Dog runs, animal pens and fences, including invisible fencing, are prohibited, though a permanent pool fence may be approved.

Rules, Fines and Collection

Section 720.305 of the Florida Statutes governs fines and suspensions for a homeowners' association, and section 720.3085 governs assessments, interest and late fees. Pelican Sound members must be in good standing, with no outstanding violations or financial obligations, to use club facilities, so an unpaid neighborhood account can reach the club card.

Your Right to the Records

Because Pinehurst has fewer than 100 parcels, section 720.303 does not require it to post its documents online, but every parcel owner may inspect the official records within 10 business days of a written request. Ask the seller to obtain the Declaration and any amendments, the Bylaws, the rules, the current budget and the insurance certificate during the contract.

Is Pinehurst at Pelican Sound a 55+ Community?

Pinehurst at Pelican Sound is not a 55+ community. Pelican Sound's membership rules extend a family membership to an owner's unmarried dependent children aged 24 or under who live at home or attend school full time, and no age restriction appears in the club's published rules or the Pinehurst association's 1997 Articles.

What All-Ages Means Here

Owners of any age may buy and live in Pinehurst. The one age rule in Pelican Sound's published documents applies to leases: the person signing a lease and the primary occupant must be at least 25, which the club states is not a restriction on the age of occupants. About 450 of Pelican Sound's 1,299 homes are year-round residences, according to the club's Q&A.

Family and Trust Ownership

The Fact Sheet sets out family, multiple-owner, single-owner and companion membership rules. A home held by a trust, company or several owners carries privileges for one designated couple or individual and their dependent children, and the designation can change no more than three times a calendar year, which matters for the four-bedroom Pinehurst homes that families sometimes hold together.

Can You Rent Out a Home at Pinehurst at Pelican Sound?

Pinehurst at Pelican Sound homes can be leased under Pelican Sound's rules for a minimum of 30 days, with an application filed 20 business days ahead, approval by the Pinehurst association, lessees of at least 25, and no pets for lessees other than service animals. Short-term vacation rental is not permitted under those rules.

What Pelican Sound Requires

Leases must run at least 30 days and comply with Article XIII, Section 13.13 of the master Declaration and any neighborhood documents. The lessee applies to and must be approved by the neighborhood association, all club and association accounts must be current, and there can be no open ARC violation. The 2026 Fact Sheet lists an Application for Approval to Lease fee of $260 and an annual lease renewal fee of $155.

What the Pinehurst Documents May Add

The club's Q&A says a few Pelican Sound associations require leases of at least 60 days. We have not seen a Pinehurst lease rule in a public record, so the Pinehurst Declaration and rules control and are read in the disclosure package.

The Amenity Transfer

An owner may transfer amenity privileges to the lessee for the lease term, keeping only dining privileges, for a fee the Fact Sheet lists at $465 plus tax. The lessee gets a club account and ID, but the owner remains liable for a lessee account more than 60 days past due and for the lessee's conduct.

A Landlord's Checklist

Confirm the Pinehurst lease rule with the board, budget the application, renewal and transfer fees, plan around the 20-business-day lead time, tell the tenant there are no pets, and remember that the board approving the lease is made up of your neighbors.

Pet Rules at Pinehurst at Pelican Sound

Pinehurst at Pelican Sound owners may keep pets subject to the neighborhood Declaration and Pelican Sound's rules, but lessees and registered houseguests may not bring pets, service animals excepted, and the master ARC rules bar dog runs, pens and fences, including invisible pet fencing, across the community.

Owners

Pet number, size and breed limits for owners are set in each neighborhood's documents, and Pinehurst has not published its own; the Declaration and rules govern and are read in the disclosure package. Pelican Sound has an on-site dog park.

Renters and Houseguests

The club's Fact Sheet bars lessees from bringing an animal to the unit or onto club property unless it is a bona fide service animal, and bars registered houseguests from bringing pets.

Assistance Animals

Federal fair housing rules on assistance animals apply alongside the association documents; HUD's guidance explains how a request is made and reviewed.

Hurricanes, Flood Zone and Insurance at Pinehurst at Pelican Sound

Pinehurst at Pelican Sound sits in FEMA's shaded Zone X, the 0.2% annual chance flood hazard area, on Flood Insurance Rate Map panel 12071C0587G, effective November 17, 2022, at every point we queried on Pinehurst Greens Drive and Court. That is outside the Special Flood Hazard Area, but it is a moderate-risk zone, not minimal-risk Zone X.

The Map and the Panel

We queried FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer on October 7, 2026 at six geocoded points spread along Pinehurst Greens Drive and Court. Every point returned Zone X, 0.2% annual chance flood hazard, with no base flood elevation and outside the Special Flood Hazard Area, on panel 12071C0587G effective November 17, 2022. A box we drew around the neighborhood also touched minimal-hazard Zone X and, at its edges, Zone AE and a regulatory floodway, so zone lines lie close by. Geocoded points are approximate: confirm a specific address on the Village of Estero's flood map lookup before you rely on it.

What Shaded Zone X Means

FEMA's shaded Zone X marks land with a 0.2% annual chance of flooding, the area between the 1% annual chance floodplain and minimal-risk land. The federal mandatory flood insurance purchase requirement for federally backed mortgages applies only in the Special Flood Hazard Area, so it does not apply by zone here, though a lender may still require coverage. Citizens Property Insurance phases in a flood coverage requirement for its policyholders under section 627.715, so a Citizens policy can bring a flood requirement with it. Get a flood quote on the specific home through FloodSmart or a private carrier before you set a budget.

The Village's CRS Class

The Village of Estero takes part in FEMA's Community Rating System at Class 6, which discounts National Flood Insurance Program premiums, most fully for properties inside the Special Flood Hazard Area.

Hurricane Ian in Context

Hurricane Ian made landfall in Lee County on September 28, 2022. Pelican Sound's documented storm damage is at the riverfront, where about three feet of water entered the old River Club, since rebuilt. We found no public record of flood damage on Pinehurst Greens and we do not claim there was none; Florida's flood disclosure law, section 689.302, requires a seller to disclose known flood damage, flood insurance claims and federal flood assistance on the disclosure form.

Shutters, Impact Glass and Generators

Pelican Sound's ARC Guidelines require ARC approval before any hurricane shutter or impact window is installed, allow approved shutters to stay up from June 1 through November 30, and limit plywood-type temporary coverings to the period when the National Weather Service cone covers the area. Generators are allowed with ARC approval; permanent propane tanks go underground where the site allows, and above-ground tanks go on a slab, screened with approved landscaping.

Insuring a Fee-Simple Estate Home

There is no master property policy on a Pinehurst home. The owner insures the house, roof and contents under a homeowner's policy, and the neighborhood association insures only what it is responsible for. Ask for the association's certificate of insurance during the contract, and ask your agent about loss-assessment coverage.

Wind Mitigation on a 1998 to 2000 Home

Section 627.711 requires insurers to offer discounts for wind-resistive features. A Pinehurst home with a newer roof, documented roof-to-wall connections on the state's Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection Form, and approved impact glass or shutters can price very differently from one that has none. Order the inspection before listing or within the inspection period. The state's My Safe Florida Home program offers inspections and hardening grants when it is funded; check its status before counting on it.

Which Schools Serve Pinehurst at Pelican Sound?

Pinehurst at Pelican Sound is in Lee County's South attendance zone, and the Village of Estero lists Pinewoods Elementary, Three Oaks Middle and Estero High as the public schools serving Estero. Lee County assigns by a proximity-and-choice model, so confirm the assignment for a Pinehurst Greens address in the district's SchoolSite Locator.

The Three Public Schools

SchoolGradesFlorida grade (2024 file)Address
Pinewoods ElementaryK to 5A11900 Stoneybrook Golf Drive, Estero
Three Oaks Middle6 to 8A18500 Three Oaks Parkway, Fort Myers
Estero High9 to 12B21900 River Ranch Road, Estero

How Lee County Assigns

The School District of Lee County divides the county into East, South and West zones and lets families rank schools within their zone; assignment then weighs proximity and capacity. The district's transportation rules limit which schools it buses a student to, so a family may choose a school and drive.

Colleges Nearby

Florida Gulf Coast University sits on Estero's northeast edge. We name no private school here because none is assigned by address; the Village of Estero's schools page lists the options.

County and Village Permits at Pinehurst at Pelican Sound

Pinehurst at Pelican Sound homes are permitted today by the Village of Estero, which incorporated on December 31, 2014, while the original 1998 to 2000 homes were permitted under Lee County. Most exterior work needs a Village permit and Pelican Sound ARC approval, and any stricter Pinehurst rule, before it starts.

Who Issues Permits

Building permits come from the Village of Estero's Community Development department. A home built from 1998 to 2000 was permitted by Lee County, so its original permit history sits in county records and later work in the Village's.

What Usually Needs a Permit

The Village's permits page sends new construction, remodeling and signage to its Community Development department. A Village list of everyday items, posted publicly in 2021 by a neighboring Pelican Sound association, says permits are required for air-conditioner replacement, exterior and garage doors, fences, generators, propane tanks, in-ground pools and spas, roofs, screen enclosures, shutters, solar panels and windows; exterior painting of a single-family home is exempt and a water heater replacement needs no permit. The list says it is not all-inclusive. Pelican Sound's ARC Guidelines add that pool cages and lanai enclosures must meet the Florida, Lee County and Village of Estero building codes and be properly permitted.

ARC Before the Permit

Pelican Sound's ARC application comes first, and the Pinehurst board may have a role under the neighborhood documents. A buyer planning a pool, impact windows, a generator or a new roof should budget the review time into the plan.

What We Did Not Read

We did not pull the permit history of any Pinehurst home. Ask the seller for permit records and closed permits on the roof, air-conditioning and any additions, and confirm open permits with the Village before closing.

What Is Being Built Near Pinehurst at Pelican Sound?

Pinehurst at Pelican Sound is inside a built-out community, so new building around it happens outside the gate: the Village of Estero's Estero RiverPark beside the Estero River near US-41, Estero River dredging, and proposals along the US-41 corridor, plus amenity-level zoning changes inside Pelican Sound itself.

Estero RiverPark

The Village of Estero bought the land for Estero RiverPark, formerly known as Estero on the River, and is building a park and preserve there with walking paths and stormwater work, in place of a previously planned high-density development, in partnership with the Estero Forever Foundation.

Inside Pelican Sound

Village of Estero Ordinance 2022-15 amended Pelican Sound's planned development zoning to allow recreation, including pickleball, in the golf maintenance area, and the Village Council took up a further Pelican Sound zoning amendment at its July 2, 2025 meeting, alongside keeping the Village millage at 0.7300. Neither changes residential density; Pelican Sound is built out at 1,299 residences.

The River

The Army Corps of Engineers has published a public notice on a maintenance dredging permit for the Estero River, the route Pelican Sound boats use to reach Estero Bay.

Daily life at Pinehurst at Pelican Sound runs through Pelican Sound's staffed gate and guest list, Village of Estero trash service, club-supplied cable and fiber internet, and a short drive across US-41 to Coconut Point shopping and Lee Health's Coconut Point emergency department.

Getting In: the Gate, Guests and Showings

Members must add guests to their gate guest list, and guests are not admitted otherwise. Unaccompanied houseguests are registered five business days ahead for up to two weeks a stay, and Pinehurst owners get six registrations a year, the standard allowance (three neighborhoods get only two). Each registration is $100 plus tax under the 2026 Fact Sheet. For a showing, your agent arranges gate access in advance.

Open Houses and Signs

Pelican Sound's ARC Guidelines set the real estate rules every Pinehurst seller works under: notify Club Administration when the home is listed; open houses on Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m. only, with notice to the club by noon the Thursday before and an agent or owner present; open house signs from noon to 5 p.m. that day; and one For Sale sign in the mulch bed parallel to the street, with no riders, logos or "sold" signs, removed at transfer of title.

Trash, Mail and Internet

Since May 2022 the Village of Estero's area has had single-day collection, with trash, recycling and yard waste picked up on the same day each week by Lee County's contracted hauler; Lee County's solid waste lookup gives the day for each address. The ARC Guidelines require mailboxes and posts to be kept in good repair and bar decals, notices and newspaper tubes on single-family mailboxes. Cable television and fiber-optic internet for all Pelican Sound homes are part of the club assessment.

How Does Pinehurst at Pelican Sound Compare With the Other Pelican Sound Neighborhoods?

Pinehurst at Pelican Sound has the largest homes and the fewest recent MLS sales of any Pelican Sound neighborhood. The table puts all eleven neighborhood pages on one yardstick: homes, ownership regime, year built from the county roll, and 12-month MLS closings to September 29, 2026.

Data updated: September 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, pulled September 29, 2026; Lee County Property Appraiser 2026 tax roll)

The eleven rows hold all 1,299 residences and all 50 MLS closings of the last 12 months. Pinehurst holds 6.3% of the homes and none of the 50 closings; the county file adds its one recorded sale of the year, at $1,375,000.

Pinehurst and the Executive Homes

The Masters at Pelican Sound and Gleneagles at Pelican Sound are the Executive Homes tier: detached homes like Pinehurst's, but smaller on the roll (roll medians of 2,100 square feet at The Masters and 1,882 at Gleneagles with Torrey Pines, against Pinehurst's 2,645) and, at Gleneagles, with no four-bedroom plan. They trade more often, so a Pinehurst seller's buyer has usually toured them first.

Pinehurst and the Carriage Homes

Palmetto Dunes, Oak Run and Seaside are two-story carriage-home condominiums with two-car garages; the club's flyer puts their upper units at 2,170 square feet. Their 12-month medians run from $812,500 to $970,000, for a condominium with shared walls rather than a detached estate home.

Pinehurst and the Condominiums

Island Sound, Turnberry, Edgewater, Southern Hills and Hammock Greens sell at 12-month medians of $357,000 to $585,000 for the same club membership. A buyer who wants the club more than the house can enter for roughly a third to a half of a Pinehurst price; a buyer who wants the largest detached home inside the gate has one street to choose from.

Pinehurst at Pelican Sound vs The Masters: Which Pelican Sound Neighborhood Fits You?

Pinehurst at Pelican Sound and The Masters are Pelican Sound's two largest single-family neighborhoods, and the choice comes down to size against liquidity: Pinehurst has 82 bigger homes (median 2,645 roll square feet) that rarely trade, while The Masters has 100 smaller homes (median 2,100) and the most active single-family resale market inside the gate.

Data updated: September 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, pulled September 29, 2026; Lee County Property Appraiser recorded sales through August 21, 2026)

Where the Two Differ Most

Size first. The median Pinehurst home is 545 square feet larger on the roll, and no Pinehurst home has fewer than three bedrooms, where nearly a quarter of Masters homes have two. Liquidity second. The Masters closed 7 MLS sales in 12 months; Pinehurst closed none. A buyer who wants a choice of homes this season will find it more often on The Masters than on Pinehurst Greens.

Why the MLS Medians Mislead Here

The 60-month MLS medians make Pinehurst look cheaper per square foot, $399.75 against $558.24. That comparison mixes eras: three of Pinehurst's six marketed sales closed in 2021, before the 2022 price step, while most of the Masters sales closed in 2025 and 2026. On the county record over 36 months, which covers the same recent period for both, Pinehurst's median of $1,342,500 (n = 6) sits above the Masters' $1,249,000 (n = 13). Both are small samples.

Age and Condition

Pinehurst homes are, on the roll's median, two years older than Masters homes: 26 to 28 years old against 24 to 26. On both streets a buyer is reading roof age, window and shutter protection, air-conditioning age and any renovation, and those, not the street name, set where a given home lands.

Who Should Choose Which?

Choose Pinehurst if you want the largest single-family floor plans in Pelican Sound, a four-bedroom option or a three-bath plan, and a small owner-run association, and you can wait for the right home. Choose The Masters if you want more homes to choose from, a managed association, and a smaller home at a similar recent price. Either way the club, the gate and the river are the same, and Gleneagles at Pelican Sound is the third single-family option for a buyer who wants a smaller plan.

How Do You Price a Pinehurst at Pelican Sound Home When Sales Are Rare?

A Pinehurst at Pelican Sound home is priced from the whole record, not a 12-month median: the seven MLS sales and eight county-only sales of the last five years, adjusted for date, size, bedrooms, baths and condition, and checked against the Masters and Gleneagles sales that the same buyers are touring.

Data updated: September 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, pulled September 29, 2026; Lee County Property Appraiser recorded sales through August 21, 2026)

Step 1: Start With the Same Footprint

The repeating plans make this possible. A 2,394 to 2,395 square foot three-bedroom home has recorded four sales since September 2021; a 2,797 square foot three-bedroom, three-bath home has recorded four. Those two footprints alone cover 30 of the 82 homes on the roll, more than a third of the street.

Step 2: Adjust for Date

Every qualified Pinehurst sale since 2022 has been at $1,100,000 or more, against a 2021 median of $865,000. A 2021 sale is evidence of the plan, not of today's price.

Step 3: Adjust for the House

Roof age and type, impact glass or shutters, air-conditioning age, kitchen and bath renovation, a pool and cage, and lot position separate homes of the same plan. None of them shows in a price per square foot.

Step 4: Read the Competition Inside the Gate

With no Pinehurst listing on September 29, 2026, a buyer's alternative is a Masters or Gleneagles home. The Masters' 12-month MLS median was $1,249,000 on 7 sales, the ceiling a smaller-plan buyer is weighing your larger home against.

Step 5: Price for the First Week

Four of six marketed Pinehurst sales went under contract in a day or less. That is a sign of pent-up demand, and a reason to be sure of the price before the listing goes live, because the first buyer may be the only one you meet.

Honest Pros and Cons of Owning at Pinehurst at Pelican Sound

Pinehurst at Pelican Sound suits a buyer who wants the largest detached home inside a bundled golf and river club, on a quiet two-street neighborhood with an owner-run board. It suits less well a buyer who wants new construction, a published low fee, a wide choice of listings or a professionally managed association.

The Pros

  1. The largest homes in Pelican Sound, 2,088 to 3,220 heated square feet on the roll, three or four bedrooms.
  2. Detached, fee-simple homes with no condominium regime and no shared walls.
  3. Bundled club membership, 27 holes, river boat ramp, shuttle to Lovers Key, racquet center and four restaurants, with no equity deposit.
  4. Strong recent county prices, every qualified sale since 2022 at $1,100,000 or more and a 36-month county median of $1,342,500.
  5. Fast sales when homes come up, four of six marketed sales under contract in a day or less.
  6. A small owner-run association, with owners on the board deciding neighborhood matters.
  7. Outside the Special Flood Hazard Area at every point we queried.
  8. Five minutes to Coconut Point shopping and a 24-hour emergency department.

The Cons

  1. Very little supply, no MLS closing in 12 months and no listing on September 29, 2026.
  2. Three recurring charges, the $11,495 club assessment, unpublished Pinehurst dues and $1,208.92 in district assessments.
  3. A $20,300 club initiation for a first-time Pelican Sound buyer at closing.
  4. Homes 26 to 28 years old, with roofs, windows and systems to check.
  5. Shaded Zone X, not minimal-risk Zone X, with AE zones nearby, so flood quotes matter.
  6. No management company, so approvals and estoppels depend on volunteer owners' timing.
  7. No public records website, so documents come through the seller during the contract.
  8. Thin pricing data, which makes an accurate list price harder and more important.

Pinehurst at Pelican Sound's Recent Sales, by the Numbers

  • MLS closings, 12 months to September 29, 2026: none; county-recorded sales in the same span: 1, at $1,375,000 (January 2026).
  • MLS closings, 60 months: 7 (6 marketed, 1 entered after closing), from $755,000 to $1,400,000.
  • Dollar volume, 60 months, MLS: $6,445,599 marketed, $7,755,599 with the sale entered after closing.

Selling at Pinehurst at Pelican Sound Is Different in Seven Ways

  • A volunteer board, not a manager. The Application for Approval to Purchase and the estoppel come from the Pinehurst board; give your closing agent the board's contact on day one, especially in summer.
  • Club approval follows. Every member needs a certificate of approval from the neighborhood association, and the club needs a signed copy of the closing papers.
  • Your buyer's club fee. A first-time Pelican Sound buyer brings $20,300 to closing; a returning owner brings $11,495. Price knowing the buyer carries that cash.
  • Half the comparable sales are off the MLS. Eight of the 15 recorded sales in five years never closed through the MLS, so a price built from MLS sales alone misses most of the evidence.
  • Pelican Sound's sign and open-house rules. One sign in the mulch bed with no riders, open houses only on weekend afternoons with notice to the club by Thursday noon.
  • ARC history. Any exterior change made without ARC approval surfaces at sale; close out open items before you list.
  • No competing listings. With zero actives, your listing is measured against closings and against Masters and Gleneagles homes, not Pinehurst neighbors.

Is now a good time to sell a Pinehurst at Pelican Sound home?

For a home priced to its condition, the record says buyers are waiting: there were no Pinehurst listings on September 29, 2026, and four of the six marketed sales in five years went under contract in a day or less (Southwest Florida MLS, September 29, 2026).

How do I price a Pinehurst home with so few sales?

From the same footprint first, then date, then condition, using county-recorded sales as well as MLS closings. The 36-month county median is $1,342,500 on six sales, and the highest recorded price in five years is $1,650,000.

How long will a Pinehurst home take to sell?

The six marketed sales of the last five years took 0 to 7 days on market, median 0.5, but that is a small sample and every one was priced at or near what the market would bear.

Who approves my buyer?

The Pinehurst association, through its owner board, approves the purchase application; then the club issues membership on proof of that approval and the closing papers.

What does my buyer pay the club at closing?

$20,300 if the buyer has never owned in Pelican Sound, or $11,495 if they own or have owned there, plus the $299 club estoppel fee under the 2026 Fact Sheet. The purchase contract sets who pays which estoppel.

Can I sell a Pinehurst home with a tenant in it?

Yes, subject to the lease; leases in Pelican Sound run at least 30 days, and the tenant's amenity privileges end with the lease term or the transfer.

Not by federal mandate in Zone X, but a lender may require it and a Citizens policy can bring a flood requirement. Get a quote for the specific home.

Did Pinehurst flood in Hurricane Ian?

We found no public record of flood damage on Pinehurst Greens, and we do not claim there was none. Pelican Sound's documented Ian flooding was at the riverfront River Club. The seller's flood disclosure answers the question for a specific home.

What schools serve Pinehurst at Pelican Sound?

Pinewoods Elementary, Three Oaks Middle and Estero High are the Village of Estero's listed public schools; confirm the assignment in the SchoolSite Locator.

Can I add a pool, shutters or a generator?

Yes, with Pelican Sound ARC approval, any Pinehurst approval the documents require, and a Village of Estero permit. Pools must be in-ground, and generators and propane tanks must be screened.

How do I get the Pinehurst association documents?

Through the seller during the contract. Pinehurst has under 100 parcels, so the law does not require a public records website, but owners may inspect records within 10 business days of a written request.

How does Pinehurst compare with The Masters?

Pinehurst homes are larger (median 2,645 roll square feet against 2,100) and trade far less often (no MLS closing in 12 months against 7). See the decision table above.

What should I ask before making an offer at Pinehurst?

The current quarterly dues and any special assessment, the roof and air-conditioning ages, the wind mitigation form, the flood quote, open permits, any ARC violations, and the board's timetable for approval.

Who is the best realtor to help me buy at Pinehurst at Pelican Sound?

McGreevy and Comisar, Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, who track every Pinehurst sale in the MLS and the county record. Call Marc at (239) 287-5873.

How do I tour homes at Pinehurst at Pelican Sound?

Through a buyer's agent who arranges gate access in advance, or at a weekend open house, which Pelican Sound allows from 1 to 5 p.m. with notice to the club.

Frequently Asked Questions: Pinehurst at Pelican Sound Seller Edition

These are the questions Pinehurst at Pelican Sound owners ask before they sell, answered from the MLS, the county record, Pelican Sound's published rules and Florida law. Where the answer depends on your own home or contract, it says so. For a home-specific answer, Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

What is my Pinehurst at Pelican Sound home worth?

It depends on your footprint, bedrooms, baths, date of comparison and condition. The county record's 15 qualified sales in five years have a median of $1,210,000, and the six of the last three years a median of $1,342,500. Get a free home valuation for your own home.

What have Pinehurst homes sold for recently?

$1,375,000 in January 2026 (four bedrooms, county record), $1,400,000 in July 2025 (MLS), $1,215,000 in December 2024 and $1,650,000 in August 2024 (county record), and $1,175,000 and $1,310,000 in 2024 (MLS).

Why is there no 12-month median for Pinehurst?

Because no Pinehurst home closed through the MLS in the 12 months to September 29, 2026, and the county file holds one sale in that span. A median of one sale is not a market price, so we list every sale instead.

Why do the MLS and county figures differ?

The MLS records sales that its members report; the county records every deed. Eight of Pinehurst's 15 qualified sales in five years were recorded by the county but never closed through the MLS. The county records the deed consideration and the MLS the reported closing price, and we never average the two.

Are online value estimates accurate for Pinehurst homes?

They lean on recent nearby sales, and Pinehurst has very few of its own. An estimate that borrows smaller Masters or Gleneagles sales, or misses the county-only sales, can be far off in either direction.

Does a renovation add value at Pinehurst?

The record shows homes of the same footprint selling far apart: four sales of the 2,394 to 2,395 square foot plan ran from $755,000 in 2021 to $1,310,000 in 2024. Date explains much of that; condition explains the rest. A renovated kitchen, baths, impact glass and a newer roof are what a buyer pays for.

How does my county sale history relate to what I can sell for?

Your purchase price and assessed value are history; buyers pay for today's comparable sales and condition. Your capped assessed value also does not carry to the buyer, whose taxes reset after purchase.

How long will my Pinehurst home take to sell?

The six marketed sales of five years took 0 to 7 days on market. A home priced above the record may take longer, and with so few sales there is no measured average for an overpriced home.

How many Pinehurst homes are for sale now?

None on September 29, 2026 in the Southwest Florida MLS.

When is the best time to list a Pinehurst home?

Pinehurst's six marketed sales closed in March, April, July, September and November, and the sale entered after closing was recorded in January, so there is no single season in the record. Pelican Sound's buyers are most present in season, roughly November to April, and the board that approves your buyer is also easier to reach then.

Who is the best realtor to sell a Pinehurst at Pelican Sound home?

McGreevy and Comisar, Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008 and the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012, who have listed every Pinehurst sale of the last five years on this page. Call Jesse at (239) 898-6072.

How will my Pinehurst home be marketed?

Cinematic video, drone, professional photography, a qualified-buyer database and, where you want it, a quiet approach to buyers already waiting for a Pinehurst home, within Pelican Sound's sign and open-house rules.

Can I hold an open house at Pinehurst?

Yes, on Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m., with notice to Club Administration by noon the Thursday before and an agent or owner present the whole time.

Can I put a sign in my yard?

One real estate sign, in the mulch bed parallel to the street, with no riders, logos, information boxes or "sold" signs, removed at transfer of title.

Do I have to tell the club I am listing?

Yes. Pelican Sound's ARC Guidelines require the agent or homeowner to notify Club Administration when a property is listed for sale.

Can I sell my Pinehurst home without a realtor?

Yes; Florida does not require one. You still carry the disclosures, the board approval, the club paperwork and the pricing risk on a street with thin sales data.

Do I need the association's approval to sell?

Your buyer must submit an Application for Approval to Purchase to the Pinehurst association before closing, and the club requires a certificate of approval from the neighborhood association for membership.

Who handles the approval and estoppel, since Pinehurst has no manager?

The Pinehurst owner board. Get the board's contact to your closing agent the week you go under contract, and ask early if board members are away for the summer.

What documents must I give a Pinehurst buyer?

A homeowners' association disclosure summary under section 720.401, the property tax disclosure summary under section 689.261, the flood disclosure under section 689.302, and the governing documents your contract requires. Your closing agent will request the estoppel.

Do I have to disclose flood claims?

Yes. Section 689.302 requires a seller to disclose known flood damage during ownership, any flood insurance claim and any federal flood assistance, on the statutory form, at or before the contract.

How many estoppel certificates does a Pinehurst sale need?

Two: one from Pelican Sound Golf & River Club and one from the Pinehurst association.

What does an estoppel cost and who pays?

The club's estoppel fee is $299 under its 2026 Fact Sheet. The Pinehurst estoppel fee is capped by section 720.30851, whose text sets $250 for a current account plus $100 for delivery within three business days, adjusted every five years for inflation. The contract decides who pays.

Who pays the club's initiation or resale capital fee?

The buyer pays it at closing under the club's rules: $20,300 initiation for a first-time Pelican Sound owner, or the $11,495 resale capital fee for a returning owner.

How are fees and taxes prorated at closing?

Club, neighborhood and district charges are prorated to the closing date, and property taxes are usually prorated on the prior year's bill with the early-payment discount, unless the contract says otherwise.

What are seller closing costs on a Pinehurst sale?

In Lee County the seller customarily pays the deed documentary stamp tax at $0.70 per $100, $9,625 on a $1,375,000 sale (our arithmetic), and the owner's title insurance policy, plus commission and the seller's share of fees. The contract controls.

Can I sell with a special assessment pending?

Yes, but it must be disclosed, and the contract decides whether you pay it or credit the buyer. The estoppel will show it.

Should I rent my Pinehurst home instead of selling?

Leasing requires a 30-day minimum, association approval, a $260 application fee and a no-pets rule for tenants, and the owner stays liable for a tenant's club account. Compare that with selling into a market with no listings.

Can I sell with a tenant in place?

Yes, subject to the lease. The tenant's amenity privileges end with the lease term or transfer, and the buyer takes the property subject to the lease unless it ends first.

Does my club membership transfer to my buyer?

No. Your membership ends when you sell; the buyer becomes a member through ownership, the neighborhood approval and the club's closing-paper process.

Should I order a wind mitigation inspection before listing?

Yes, for a 1998 to 2000 home. The Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection Form shows a buyer's insurer the roof, roof-to-wall and opening protection features that drive premium discounts under section 627.711.

Do I owe capital gains tax when I sell?

Possibly. IRS Topic 701 and Publication 523 explain the exclusion of up to $250,000 of gain ($500,000 for most married couples filing jointly) for a main home that meets the ownership and use tests. Ask your tax adviser.

What if my Pinehurst home has not sold in a week or two?

On this street, that is a signal. Every marketed sale in five years went under contract within 7 days, so a home still on the market after two weeks is usually priced above the record or showing a condition question.

How should I state square footage?

State the source. The county roll measures heated area; the MLS records the listing's living area; the two differ for the same home. Never compare an MLS price per square foot with a county figure.

How does Pinehurst compete with The Masters for buyers?

On size and bedrooms. A Pinehurst home offers more space and a four-bedroom option; a Masters buyer has more homes to choose from. Your listing should show what the extra square footage buys.

What does a seller need from the board before listing?

The current dues and any planned assessment, confirmation that your account and ARC file are clear, and the board's process and timing for the purchase application.
