Southern Hills is one of the premier coach home neighborhoods within the gated Pelican Sound Golf & River Club in Estero, Florida. Offering spacious coach homes, picturesque golf course views, bundled championship golf, and a maintenance-free lifestyle, Southern Hills combines comfort, convenience, and resort-style living. As one of only three coach home neighborhoods in Pelican Sound, it remains a highly desirable choice for buyers seeking generous living space with access to one of Southwest Florida's most amenity-rich bundled golf communities.
Conveniently located just inside the main entrance to Pelican Sound, Southern Hills provides easy access to the community's Golf Club, River Club, Racquet Center, Fitness Center, and numerous recreational amenities. The neighborhood is surrounded by beautifully manicured fairways, tranquil lakes, and mature tropical landscaping, creating a peaceful setting while allowing residents to quickly reach everything Pelican Sound has to offer.
Southern Hills consists of approximately 84 coach homes arranged in two-story buildings. First-floor residences offer approximately 1,550 square feet of living space, while second-floor homes feature approximately 1,670 square feet with vaulted ceilings that create an open, airy feel. Floor plans generally include two to three bedrooms, spacious great rooms, screened lanais, attached one-car garages, and generous primary suites. Many homes overlook championship golf fairways, lakes, or lush preserve areas, providing peaceful views and abundant natural light.
Many Southern Hills residences have been tastefully updated with coastal-inspired finishes, quartz or granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, luxury vinyl plank or tile flooring, renovated bathrooms, impact-resistant windows and doors, and designer lighting. Spacious screened lanais provide the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee or evening sunsets while overlooking the beautifully maintained Lakes Course and surrounding tropical scenery.
One of Southern Hills' greatest advantages is its bundled golf membership. Every homeowner enjoys full membership privileges at Pelican Sound Golf & River Club, including unlimited access to the community's 27-hole championship golf course designed by Chip Powell and Mike Hill. Unlike many private golf communities, ownership includes golf without the purchase of a separate equity membership, providing exceptional value for golfers of every skill level.
Beyond golf, Pelican Sound offers one of the most complete resort lifestyles in Southwest Florida. Residents enjoy six resort-style swimming pools, six spas, a state-of-the-art fitness center, eight Hydro-Grid tennis courts, 14 pickleball courts, five bocce courts, walking and biking trails, outdoor fitness areas, a dog park, playground, and an active social calendar filled with clubs, tournaments, fitness classes, concerts, and community events throughout the year.
One of the features that truly distinguishes Pelican Sound is its direct access to Estero Bay. Residents have access to a private boat launch, outdoor boat storage, kayaks, canoes, paddleboards, and the community's exclusive shuttle boat to Lovers Key State Park. This unique amenity allows homeowners to enjoy boating, fishing, paddleboarding, shelling, wildlife viewing, and relaxing on one of Southwest Florida's most pristine Gulf beaches directly from the community.
Dining and social opportunities further enhance the country club experience. Residents enjoy multiple on-site dining venues, including The Vista at the Clubhouse, the River Club, the Pelican Pub, and the Pavilion. Whether gathering after a round of golf or enjoying waterfront dining overlooking the Estero River, homeowners benefit from a vibrant social atmosphere that makes Pelican Sound one of Estero's most active private communities.
Southern Hills enjoys an outstanding Estero location west of U.S. Highway 41 and just minutes from Coconut Point Mall, Miromar Outlets, Gulf Coast Town Center, Hertz Arena, Southwest Florida International Airport, and the white-sand beaches of Bonita Springs and Fort Myers Beach. Convenient access to Interstate 75 makes traveling throughout Southwest Florida simple and convenient.
Real estate within Southern Hills continues to attract buyers seeking spacious coach homes, bundled golf, maintenance-free ownership, and exceptional resort amenities. Its location near the main entrance, scenic golf course views, and outstanding value make Southern Hills one of the most desirable neighborhoods within Pelican Sound.
