By Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar, McGreevy and Comisar, Domain Realty Group. Updated October 2026.
Selling a home in Barefoot Estates at Barefoot Beach means selling one of six single-family homes on a 1995 estate plat inside the Barefoot Beach gate, under a property owners association governed by chapter 720 of the Florida Statutes, and not a condominium. The county recorded one qualified sale in the last 60 months, $7,800,000 on April 22, 2026, and six since 1997, so this page lists every sale and publishes no median. McGreevy and Comisar, Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, wrote it for owners who want to price from the public record. For the enclave itself, start with our Barefoot Estates guide, and for the whole community see our Barefoot Beach guide.
Three names get confused. Barefoot Estates is a seven-plot enclave of houses, not Barefoot Beach Club, the 348-unit condominium group, and not The Club at Barefoot Beach, the private member club at 105 Shell Dr. And although the mailing address reads Bonita Springs, FL 34134, these homes sit in unincorporated Collier County, so our Bonita Springs guide and this page apply Collier County rules and customs to your sale.
Our home valuation guide for Barefoot Estates explains how a value is built, and our guide to buying a home in Barefoot Estates covers the purchase side. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 or start with a free Barefoot Estates home valuation, and we will send you the comparable sales we used, each labelled by source and date.
You sell a Barefoot Estates at Barefoot Beach home in 2026 by pricing from the nearest like home, because the enclave’s own record is one qualified sale in five years, by presenting the chapter 720 disclosure summary before the buyer signs, and by having the lease, flood and insurance answers ready.
Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser public data files, 2026 preliminary roll, sales through August 24, 2026)
A 1995 plat created seven homesites and one common tract, and the county roll shows six improved homes built from 1997 to 2008. We tracked every one of the 6 Barefoot Estates sales in the county record and every one of the 7 roll parcels. The enclave has no stand-alone association: it sits inside the Barefoot Beach Property Owners Association, which counts the seven plots as 11 of its 136 shares, under the Barefoot Beach Master Association that runs the gate.
| Item | What the record says |
|---|---|
| Homes | 6 improved homes on 7 plots; 7 roll parcels, the seventh being the common Tract A at 115 Felipe Ln |
| Addresses | 101, 105 and 109 Felipe Ln, 102 and 110 Saint Eustacius Ln, and 215 Barefoot Beach Blvd |
| Built, size | 1997 to 2008; 2,263 to 3,112 square feet of county base area, which is not living area |
| Legal form | Single-family homes, property owners association, chapter 720 |
| Leasing | Two recorded documents differ: one month (1995 covenants) or 90 days once a year (2009 declaration) |
| Gulf position | 2 of the 6 homes sit on parcels that reach the Gulf, by our reading of the public map layers |
| FEMA flood zone | AE, base flood elevation 11 to 12 feet NAVD88 at tested points; 3 of 7 parcels reach VE 13 to 16 |
| Millage, tax | 9.4020 mills; median 2026 preliminary bill $51,835 across the six homes |
| County qualified sales | 1 in the last 60 months ($7,800,000); 6 since 1997 |
Each section of this Barefoot Estates at Barefoot Beach seller guide opens with a direct answer, and the sections run from the county sales record through pricing, disclosure, flood, closing costs and the questions sellers ask most.
McGreevy and Comisar is the #1 real estate team in Southwest Florida since 2012, and every Barefoot Estates listing gets over 45 years of combined direct experience between Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar. In an enclave of six homes, the paperwork, the flood facts and the lease question decide whether a buyer’s attorney lets the deal close.
We are the partners who price your home, sit at the negotiating table and answer your phone. Here is the record behind that promise:
Those are career figures across Southwest Florida, not a claim about Barefoot Estates alone. If you are comparing listing agents, our guide to the best real estate agents in Barefoot Beach sets out the criteria we think a seller should use.
You will not find a McGreevy and Comisar Barefoot Estates sale claimed here, because there is none: McGreevy and Comisar closed no sale at Barefoot Estates through the Southwest Florida MLS in the 60 months to October 3, 2026, on either the listing or the buying side. That leaves no days on market or sale-to-list ratio of our own to show, and we will not imply that we sold, listed or represented any sale here. What we can show is the public record, and we read all of it.
A listing agent here has to know that seven plots carry six homes, that the association named in the 1995 covenants merged into a larger one in 2000, that two recorded documents set different minimum lease terms and that only two homes sit on parcels that reach the Gulf. Buyers, lenders and insurers raise those points, so we answer them first.
The Barefoot Estates market for sellers is too thin to average and fully documented: the county recorded 1 qualified sale in each of its 12, 24, 36 and 60-month windows, $7,800,000 on April 22, 2026, and 6 since 1997. A window of one sale has a price and no median, so we publish none.
Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser public data files, 2026 preliminary roll, sales through August 24, 2026)
We count back from October 1, 2026 and widen the window until it holds at least 10 qualified sales. No window reaches 10, so none leads.
| Window | Qualified sales (n) | What the window holds |
|---|---|---|
| 12 months since October 2025 | 1 | $7,800,000 on April 22, 2026 |
| 24 months since October 2024 | 1 | The same sale |
| 36 months since October 2023 | 1 | The same sale |
| 60 months since October 2021 | 1 | The same sale |
| All recorded history since March 1997 | 6 | $1,000,000 to $7,800,000, listed in the next section |
The qualified series is a county record, not the Southwest Florida MLS: it holds arm’s-length transfers the county flags for its own assessment studies, it carries no list price or days on market, and some real sales are left out. The file is dated August 29, 2026, and its newest recorded sale is dated August 24, 2026.
The county’s index shows one more improved deed over $100,000 in the last 60 months that it did not flag as qualified: $16,100,000 on December 8, 2022 at 110 Saint Eustacius Ln, recorded at OR 6198 PG 83. It is a separate, labelled series. We keep it out of every count and draw no conclusion about why it was excluded.
A county sale file has no days on market, list price, price reductions or concessions. The Southwest Florida MLS, pulled October 3, 2026, adds some of that for Barefoot Estates: 2 closings in the 60 months to that date, the more recent on April 24, 2026 at $7,800,000, which was 91.8% of its final list price of $8,500,000 after 99 days on market, with 8,255 square feet of MLS living area. No home was active or pending on October 3, 2026, so months of supply is zero, an indicative figure on 1 closing in 12 months. The pull records the final list price only, so price changes are read listing by listing when we prepare a valuation. We estimate none of these figures from the county record.
The county recorded one qualified Barefoot Estates sale in five years, so few homes here come up for sale and the next owner who decides to sell should call us first.

Barefoot Estates homes sold for $3,300,000 to $7,800,000 in five recorded sales of finished homes since 2011, after one $1,000,000 homesite deed in 1997. Only one sale falls in the last 60 months, so every sale is listed below with its address, county base area and price per square foot.
Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser public data files, 2026 preliminary roll, sales through August 24, 2026)
The first row is the only sale in the last 60 months. The rest come from the longer history, and each row names its date.
| Date | Price | Address | Built | County base sq ft | Price per base sq ft | Recorded at |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| April 22, 2026 | $7,800,000 | 105 Felipe Ln | 2008 | 2,744 | $2,843 | OR 6581 PG 255 |
| January 21, 2021 | $5,630,000 | 105 Felipe Ln | 2008 | 2,744 | $2,052 | OR 5881 PG 2730 |
| April 27, 2017 | $3,700,000 | 101 Felipe Ln | 2001 | 2,600 | $1,423 | OR 5388 PG 2677 |
| December 10, 2014 | $3,300,000 | 215 Barefoot Beach Blvd | 2000 | 2,263 | $1,458 | OR 5105 PG 1065 |
| October 3, 2011 | $6,300,000 | 105 Felipe Ln | 2008 | 2,744 | $2,296 | OR 4725 PG 1064 |
| March 24, 1997 | $1,000,000 | 109 Felipe Ln | 2000 | 3,079 | Not computed (homesite sale) | OR 2297 PG 1737 |
The six sales total $27,730,000. No qualified sale is on record for 102 or 110 Saint Eustacius Ln. Prices per square foot use the county’s base area, not living area, so they compare these sales with each other and not with a figure quoted from a listing.
The 1997 deed predates the year the county gives for that house, 2000, so it reads as a homesite sale and we do not divide it by building area. The five finished-home sales span $3,300,000 to $7,800,000, and the spread mostly reflects which house sold and when, not a market direction. Treat the six as the full list of known comparables, adjust for frontage, view, lot, age and storm repair, and read the neighboring lanes for a second opinion, as the pricing section explains.
In the county’s qualified record, one Barefoot Estates home has sold more than once since 1997: 105 Felipe Ln closed below its prior sale in 2021 and above it in 2026. Two repeat pairs from one house cannot show a direction, so we report the observations and make no claim about where values are going.
Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser public data files, 2026 preliminary roll, sales through August 24, 2026)
Each row pairs a sale with the same address’s previous qualified sale. The roll year built, 2008, is earlier than every sale, so each buyer paid for the same house.
| Later sale | Earlier qualified sale | Later price | Change | Percent | Years between |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| January 21, 2021 | October 3, 2011, $6,300,000 | $5,630,000 | Down $670,000 | Down 10.6% | 9.3 |
| April 22, 2026 | January 21, 2021, $5,630,000 | $7,800,000 | Up $2,170,000 | Up 38.5% | 5.2 |
From October 2011 to April 2026 the $7,800,000 price is $1,500,000 above $6,300,000, which is 23.8% more over 14.6 years. The figures ignore what the owners spent on taxes, insurance, repairs and closing costs, so they are not a return.
101 Felipe Ln sold once, in 2017, and 215 Barefoot Beach Blvd once, in 2014. 109 Felipe Ln has one homesite deed from 1997 and no later qualified sale. 102 and 110 Saint Eustacius Ln have no qualified sale, and the 2022 deed at 110 sits in its own separate series. What a seller should take from this is narrow: price from the nearest like sale, with its date beside it.
The most recent qualified sale in Barefoot Estates was $7,800,000 at 105 Felipe Ln on April 22, 2026, for a 2008 home with 2,744 square feet of county base area. It is a public record, not a McGreevy and Comisar sale. Walking through it shows what a county record tells a seller and what it leaves out.
Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser public data files, 2026 preliminary roll, sales through August 24, 2026)
The county file records the sale at OR 6581 PG 255 as a qualified resale of the home on plot 6, which is $2,843 per square foot of base area. The same address sold on January 21, 2021 for $5,630,000 and on October 3, 2011 for $6,300,000. The roll dates the house to 2008, so nothing suggests a different building stood there at any of the three sales, though we did not read the permits.
The county’s 2026 preliminary just value for this home is $5,616,107, the lowest of the six improved parcels. Just value is the Property Appraiser’s valuation for tax purposes and not a sale price: it is 72.0 percent of the recorded price, which is $2,183,893 higher. The parcel carries no homestead exemption, so its 2026 preliminary tax bill is $52,802.65, the just value times 0.009402.
The file has no list price, days on market, concessions, furnishings or living area, and it does not say whether the buyer paid cash. Our parcel screen shows zone AE only for this parcel, and we did not test the address point, so an elevation certificate answers the buyer’s insurance question. At $7,800,000 the deed documentary stamp tax that Collier County custom assigns to the seller is $54,600, as the cost section works through.
We price a Barefoot Estates home from the nearest like home in the recorded sales, here and in the neighboring beach lanes, then adjust for frontage, view, lot, age, flood position and storm repair. We never price from an automated estimate, and you see every comparable, labelled by source and date, before you choose a list price.
Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser public data files, 2026 preliminary roll, sales through August 24, 2026)
Six sales over 29 years describe no particular home. The five finished-home sales run from $3,300,000 to $7,800,000 and the one in the last 60 months is the starting point, not the answer. A blended average here is worthless, and a seller who hears one is hearing sales talk.
The neighboring beach lanes, 80 homes in the county file for Lely Barefoot Beach Units 1 to 5 and one single-lot plat, recorded 9 qualified sales in 60 months from $5,500,000 to $15,350,000. Their 2026 preliminary median just value is $6,578,899, and the Estates’ $6,257,994 is 95.1 percent of it. The lanes are a fair second source with a different mix of lots and ages, and our Barefoot Beach guide covers them.
On county base area the five finished-home sales run from $1,423 to $2,843 per square foot, two to one among five sales of three houses, and base area is not living area. The Southwest Florida MLS, pulled October 3, 2026, carries living area and a final list price for the 2 closings in the 60 months to that date: 8,255 square feet on the April 2026 sale at $7,800,000, or $945 per square foot of MLS living area, and 5,269 square feet on the December 2022 sale at $16,100,000. Two sales give no median, and price changes are read listing by listing when we prepare a valuation. We publish no dollar premium for finish, view or elevation, because the sample cannot support one. See our home valuation guide for Barefoot Estates for the full method.
Gulf position, lot, year built and flood footprint move a Barefoot Estates home’s value most, and the roll shows how wide the spread is: 2026 preliminary just values run from $5,616,107 to $14,286,845 across six homes. Two homes sit on parcels that reach the Gulf, and the largest value belongs to a combined two-lot parcel.
Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser public data files, 2026 preliminary roll, sales through August 24, 2026)
Just value is the county’s valuation for tax purposes and not a price, but it is the one figure published for every home.
| Address | Plot | Year built | County base sq ft | 2026 preliminary just value | Position |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 110 Saint Eustacius Ln | 1 and 2 combined | 1997 | 2,370 | $14,286,845 | Parcel reaches the Gulf |
| 109 Felipe Ln | 7 | 2000 | 3,079 | $8,737,312 | Parcel reaches the Gulf |
| 101 Felipe Ln | 5 | 2001 | 2,600 | $6,782,867 | Near-Gulf |
| 215 Barefoot Beach Blvd | 4 | 2000 | 2,263 | $5,733,120 | Near-Gulf |
| 102 Saint Eustacius Ln | 3 | 1999 | 3,112 | $5,707,618 | Near-Gulf |
| 105 Felipe Ln | 6 | 2008 | 2,744 | $5,616,107 | Near-Gulf (parcel shows AE only) |
The six values sum to $46,863,869, and the largest is 2.54 times the smallest. The two highest belong to the two Gulf-reaching parcels, which is an observation about the roll and not a measured premium.
Three of the seven roll parcels reach the Gulf: 109 Felipe Ln, 110 Saint Eustacius Ln and the common Tract A at 115 Felipe Ln. So two homes are Gulf-reaching and four are near-Gulf, by our reading of the public map layers, which show the Gulf-reaching parcels carrying the VE flood zone. The qualified record is too thin to isolate a Gulf premium, so we price from the nearest like home and tell you which part of the number is judgment. Beach rights for each lot are a title question we found no public statement of.
Lots 1 and 2 were combined under one house, which is why seven plots carry six homes, and every homesite is improved. Ordinance 2019-44 allows three habitable floors for the Estates section, while the county’s staff report for the same ordinance describes it a little differently, so we never promise a third floor before Collier County Growth Management gives a written zoning verification.
The roll dates the homes to 1997, 1999, 2000, 2000, 2001 and 2008, and shows none built after 2008, which says nothing about repairs, because a house repaired in place keeps its year. Buyers ask for roof age, windows and doors, the foundation, the wind-mitigation report and the permit history.
By our reading of the public map layers, the footprint of 110 Saint Eustacius Ln matched VE 13 over 32 percent of its area, and FEMA rates a building in more than one zone at the more hazardous one. A buyer who plans to rent will also ask which lease rule applies, because the 1995 covenants and the 2009 declaration differ. An elevation certificate and the association’s written position remove both questions from the negotiation.
Your Barefoot Estates at Barefoot Beach buyer will pay county property tax, assessments to the Barefoot Beach Property Owners Association and whatever share of Master Association costs reaches Estates owners. Only the tax has a published figure: a median 2026 preliminary bill of $51,835 at 9.4020 mills. No dollar assessment appears in any public record we found.
Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser 2026 preliminary roll; recorded declarations read October 1, 2026)
| Layer | Who levies it | What the documents say | Published amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Association assessment | Barefoot Beach Property Owners Association | The seven plots count as 11 of 136 shares (OR 4430 PG 3692) | None found |
| Master level | Barefoot Beach Master Association | Gate and boulevard; how its cost reaches Estates owners is not confirmed | None found |
| Separate Estates fee | The association named in the 1995 covenants merged into the larger one in 2000 | No separate dues found in the text we read | None found |
| Resale assessment | Board-set, section 7.10 (OR 4586 PG 823) | The instrument states no dollar figure | None found |
| Late fee and fines | The association | Greater of $25 or 5 percent; fines up to $100 per violation | Rules only |
| County taxes | Collier County and its districts | 9.4020 mills on the 2026 preliminary roll | Median bill $51,835, range $22,124 to $134,325 |
The estoppel certificate, which Florida Statute 720.30851 lets an owner or the owner’s agent request, states assessments, any resale assessment and unpaid amounts. The disclosure summary under Florida Statute 720.401 has a blank for the current assessment, and the budget shows what the money funds. We publish no estoppel fee dollars, because the statutory caps adjust over time.
Three parcels carry a homestead exemption, 50.0 percent, and their bills are lower because the exemption and the Save Our Homes cap hold assessed value below just value. The other three bills, $52,803, $63,773 and $134,325, each equal just value times 0.009402. After a sale Florida resets the new owner’s assessment to just value as of January 1 of the following year under Florida Statute 193.155, so a seller’s bill is not a forecast of a buyer’s.
Buyers insure a Barefoot Estates at Barefoot Beach home with wind and flood policies, and their insurer will ask for the roof date, the wind-mitigation report and the elevation certificate. Every address we tested is in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, so a lender will expect proof of flood coverage. We found no published premium and estimate none.
Data updated: October 2026 (Florida Statutes sections 627.351 and 627.0629, FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer queried October 1, 2026, Collier County map layers)
An insurer prices wind coverage from roof age, shape and covering, opening protection and construction year, and Florida requires insurers to offer credits for verified wind-mitigation features under Florida Statute 627.0629. The design wind speed for a Risk Category II house across most of the community is 161 miles per hour. A current wind-mitigation inspection lets your buyer get a quote inside the inspection period.
Flood coverage is priced per address, and the elevation certificate prices it. Unincorporated Collier County holds a Community Rating System class of 5, a 25 percent discount on National Flood Insurance Program policies, and that program caps building coverage at $250,000 and contents at $100,000 for a single-family home, according to FloodSmart, so a buyer at these values asks about excess or private coverage. What a lender requires is the lender’s own rule, and we do not speak for any lender.
Florida Statute 627.351 governs Citizens. A Citizens personal-lines policy on a home inside a FEMA special flood hazard area requires flood coverage, from issuance for new policies since April 1, 2023 and at renewal since July 1, 2023. The statute also makes a major structure ineligible if newly built, or rebuilt or enlarged by more than 25 percent, under a permit applied for after July 1, 2015 and seaward of the coastal construction control line or inside a Coastal Barrier Resources System unit. We do not state whether any Estates home is eligible, because the permit date and the line’s position at that lot decide it, and Citizens decides it, not us.
A Barefoot Estates at Barefoot Beach seller must present the section 720.401 association disclosure summary before the buyer signs, complete the section 689.302 flood disclosure and disclose known material facts that are not readily visible. This is a property owners association under chapter 720, so the condominium resale package does not apply. A closing agent or attorney confirms your sale.
Data updated: October 2026 (Florida Statutes sections 720.401, 720.30851, 689.302, 689.261 and 201.02, read 2026-10-02)
Section 720.401(1)(a) says a prospective parcel owner in a community must be presented a disclosure summary before executing the contract for sale. If it is not provided before the buyer signs, section 720.401(1)(c) lets the buyer void the contract by written notice within 3 days after receiving it or before closing, whichever occurs first, a right that cannot be waived and ends at closing. A summary presented before signing means that right never arises, so it goes in our first offer package.
Section 720.401 lists no duty to deliver the declaration, rules or budget. Buyers ask for them anyway, so we gather the 1995 covenants at OR 2120 PG 1745, the 2009 declaration at OR 4430 PG 3692 with its 2010 and 2012 amendments, the association’s budget and a written statement of which lease rule it enforces before you list. The estoppel certificate under section 720.30851 states what you owe, within a fixed number of business days and for a statutory capped fee, and we publish no estoppel fee dollars.
Section 689.302 requires a seller of residential property to give the buyer a flood disclosure at or before the time the contract is executed, covering flooding that damaged the property during your ownership, insurance claims for flooding and assistance you received to repair it. Section 689.261 separately requires a property tax disclosure. Answer both in writing, with permit history and repair invoices beside them.
Florida’s Supreme Court has held that a seller must disclose known facts that materially affect a home’s value and are not readily observable, which for a Gulf-side home includes storm damage, repairs, open permits and claims. The Association’s common areas, including the Estates’ common area, appear in temporary beach restoration easements to Collier County at OR 6248 PG 1066 to 1357, labelled not a public dedication and ending December 31, 2043, so ask the title agent what they permit on your lot.
Barefoot Estates is six houses, so the section 718.503 resale package and its 7-day clause do not apply, and neither do the milestone inspection and structural integrity reserve study rules, which reach condominium and cooperative buildings of three habitable stories or more. A buyer asks instead for the association budget and reserves, the elevation certificate and the coastal permit history. This page is information, not legal advice.
Buyers of Barefoot Estates at Barefoot Beach homes ask first about flood zone and elevation, then storm history and permits. Every address we tested is in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, zone AE at 11 to 12 feet NAVD88, and by our reading of the public map layers 3 of 7 parcels also reach the VE zone at 13 to 16 feet.
Data updated: October 2026 (FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer and Collier County map layers queried October 1, 2026; FIRM panel 12021C0179J, effective February 8, 2024)
These columns are our reading of the public map layers and not a flood determination. Distances to the Limit of Moderate Wave Action are in meters.
| Address | Zone and base flood elevation at the point | Building footprint by zone (our reading of the public map layers) | Limit of Moderate Wave Action (our reading of the public map layers) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 101 Felipe Ln | AE 11 | AE 11 98%, AE 10 2% | Crosses the footprint |
| 115 Felipe Ln (common Tract A) | AE 12 | No footprint matched | Seaward, 56 m |
| 102 Saint Eustacius Ln | AE 11 | AE 11 100% | Seaward, 15 m |
| 110 Saint Eustacius Ln | AE 12 | AE 12 68%, VE 13 32% | Seaward, 70 m |
| 215 Barefoot Beach Blvd | AE 11 | AE 11 100% | Crosses the footprint |
We did not test 105 or 109 Felipe Ln at their address points. Our parcel screen of all seven roll parcels shows AE 10 on two, AE 11 on seven, AE 12 on three, VE 13 on three and VE 16 on three, so 105 Felipe Ln touches AE only and 109 Felipe Ln touches the VE zone. A parcel touching a zone does not put the house in it, so the elevation certificate is the answer.
FEMA’s preliminary map dated March 20, 2025 re-issues the panel as 0179K with zones and base flood elevations unchanged at every tested point, and the county’s August 2026 notice says a 90-day appeal period begins August 19, 2026, which by our arithmetic runs to about November 17, 2026. The map is not final until adopted. Collier County requires new residences in the floodplain to be built with the lowest living floor above base flood elevation plus 1 foot, per its Building Within the Floodplain page, and its Ordinance 2019-01 requires a repair or improvement costing 50 percent or more of the building’s value, as the ordinance defines it, to bring the building to current standards.
The National Hurricane Center’s Hurricane Ian report states that maximum inundation of 8 to 12 feet above ground occurred in Estero, Bonita Beach, Bonita Springs and North Naples. A U.S. Geological Survey high-water mark of 11.76 feet NAVD88 sits on Barefoot Beach Boulevard at Anguilla Lane, where the base flood elevation is 10, in the northern part of the community. We found no building-level damage report for any Barefoot Estates home and assert none.
Florida Statute 161.053 requires a state permit for most construction seaward of the coastal construction control line, whose line of record here dates to 1989. By our reading of the public map layers the Estates lie between 37 and 107 meters seaward of it, and the county’s own 1974 setback line crosses the footprint at 110 Saint Eustacius Ln. The state lists 284 permit records community-wide from 1981 to 2026, and the recent new single-family permits we saw were for lane lots, not Estates lots. We did not retrieve any home’s permit history, so ask the county and the state for yours.
Sea turtle nesting season on the Collier County coast runs May 1 to October 31. Under Land Development Code section 3.04.02, which applies within 300 feet of coastal mean high water, lights on Gulf-facing structures must be off after 9 p.m. or shielded, which matters to evening showings and twilight photography.
Four sets of rules affect a Barefoot Estates sale: the 1995 covenants, the 2009 Property Owners Association declaration, the Master Association’s gate rules and Collier County’s vacation-rental ordinance. The two recorded documents differ on leasing, and no document we read says which prevails, so we tell your buyer both and settle the question in writing.
Data updated: October 2026 (recorded instruments OR 2120 PG 1745 and OR 4430 PG 3692, read October 1, 2026; Collier County Ordinance 2021-45)
| Document | Minimum term | Frequency and conditions |
|---|---|---|
| 1995 Barefoot Estates covenants, OR 2120 PG 1745 | At least one month, to a single family (the scan is partly garbled at the word month) | Not stated in what we read |
| 2009 Property Owners Association declaration, OR 4430 PG 3692, section 10 | 90 days, one-year maximum | One lease per calendar year, 30 days’ notice, board approval, no subleasing |
One lease a year at a 90-day minimum means one tenancy a year, so weekly and monthly vacation rentals are not possible under the 2009 text. We never present either document as settled: we ask the Association in writing for its position before we list, and the buyer gets the answer and both documents. Collier County’s Ordinance 2021-45, effective January 3, 2022, also requires registration for a home rented for less than 30 days more than three times a year, with fines of up to $500 per violation per day.
The 1995 covenants allow dogs, cats, caged birds and aquarium fish on a leash, with other animals by approval, and the 2009 declaration, section 8.22, permits pets in reasonable numbers on a leash. We found no breed or weight limit. We did not find an architectural review process for exteriors or rebuilds in the passages we read. The 2010 amendment created a board-set resale assessment with no dollar figure, and your estoppel shows whether the board has set one.
The Master Association staffs the gate around the clock under the 2009 Turnover Agreement, and the Property Owners Association kept the twelve side lanes, Felipe Ln and Saint Eustacius Ln among them. The guest procedure for showings is not published for the Estates, so we request it in writing before we list. The Club at Barefoot Beach is a separate private member club, and we found nothing tying a Barefoot Estates deed to membership.
The best time to sell a Barefoot Estates at Barefoot Beach home cannot be read from the county record: its six sales over 29 years closed in March, October, December, April, January and April, too few to show a season. We plan listing dates around documents, insurance and weather, not the calendar.
Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser public data files, 2026 preliminary roll, sales through August 24, 2026)
Two of the six sales are April deeds and the other four fall in four different months, which is a coincidence and not a pattern. The Southwest Florida MLS, pulled October 3, 2026, holds 2 Barefoot Estates closings in the 60 months to that date, one in April 2026 after 99 days on market and one in December 2022 with 1 day on market recorded, and two sales cannot show days on market by month. We make no seasonal claim.
Hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30, and a buyer’s insurance quote is slower and more conditional in a storm window, so we have the wind-mitigation report and elevation certificate ready before the first showing. Sea turtle season on the beach runs May 1 to October 31 and limits lighting on Gulf-facing homes. A seller who lists with the association papers in hand can go to market whenever the house is ready.
We market a Barefoot Estates home by leading with its recorded facts: the plat, the lot, the height entitlement, the flood record and the gate. We list it on the Southwest Florida MLS, show it to our own buyer network and prepare a document file before the first showing. We publish no MLS performance figure.
Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser 2026 preliminary roll; recorded instruments read October 1, 2026)
The buyer of a home at this level has an attorney, an insurance agent and a lender reading the same papers. Our file holds the 1995 covenants, the 2009 declaration and amendments, the budget, the estoppel certificate, the elevation certificate, the survey, the wind-mitigation report and the permit history, so the first buyer to see the home also sees the facts.
Showings go through a staffed gate whose guest procedure for brokers is not published for the Estates, so we ask for it in writing, set appointments with advance notice and confirm proof of funds before a showing. Photographs, video and an aerial view of the lot show what the gate keeps out of sight.
We negotiate a Barefoot Estates contract by settling the questions a buyer’s attorney will raise before the offer arrives: the lease rule, the flood and wind insurance quote, the estoppel figures and the appraisal. With a county record this thin, a prepared seller negotiates from evidence and not from a list price. The contract controls every term.
Data updated: October 2026 (Florida Statutes sections 720.401 and 201.02; Collier County custom)
Expect requests for an insurance-quote contingency, an inspection period with the wind-mitigation and foundation reports, a lease-rule confirmation from the association and a title review of the recorded covenants. We answer each with a document, not a concession, wherever the document exists.
A lender’s appraiser has the same thin record we do: one qualified sale in five years in the enclave. We hand the appraiser the lanes’ nine sales, the adjustments and the roll figures, labelled by source and date, so the number does not rest on one deed. A cash buyer avoids the appraisal but still needs the insurance quote and a clear title.
Your Barefoot Estates at Barefoot Beach buyer will compare it with Bayfront Gardens at Barefoot Beach, the bay-side neighborhood of 27 homes on 33 homesites. The Estates have six Gulf-side homes with a higher median just value, Bayfront Gardens has more homes and more sales, and the choice turns on water, flood zone, leasing and scarcity.
Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser 2026 preliminary roll; recorded instruments; 60-month county windows counted back from October 1, 2026)
| Question | Barefoot Estates | Bayfront Gardens | Who it fits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Homes | 6 homes on 7 plots | 27 homes on 33 homesites | Estates for scarcity, Bayfront Gardens for choice |
| Built | 1997 to 2008 | 1990 to 2024 | Bayfront Gardens for newer construction |
| 2026 median just value | $6,257,994 | $3,108,994 | A different price tier |
| 2026 median tax bill | $51,835 | $24,822 | Carrying cost follows value |
| Qualified sales, 60 months | 1, at $7,800,000 | 6, from $3,026,000 to $6,650,000 | Bayfront Gardens for a deeper record |
| Homestead share | 3 of 6 | 14 of 27 | Both mixed |
| Water side | Gulf side, 2 homes on Gulf-reaching parcels | Bay side | By preference |
| Flood zone | AE 11 to 12; 3 of 7 parcels reach VE | AE at 10 feet at every tested address | Check each address |
| Associations | Property Owners Association plus 1995 covenants | Two homeowners associations plus the Master Association | Read both sets either way |
| Leasing | One month or 90 days once a year, documents differ | Bayside 30 days, three a year; Bayfront Gardens not published | Neither suits short-term rental |
Choose Barefoot Estates for a very small street of large houses on the Gulf side, if you can accept a thin sale record, an unpublished fee schedule and two sets of covenants. Choose Bayfront Gardens for a bay-side home at a lower price tier with a deeper record and a single flood zone. Our Bayfront Gardens seller page shows how that neighbor sells.
A buyer who prefers a condominium reads Barefoot Beach Club or the detached Cottages at Barefoot Beach. Fee simple villas are at Villas at Barefoot Beach. Bay-side houses are at Southport on the Bay, and Barefoot Bay sits outside the gate.
Selling a Barefoot Estates at Barefoot Beach home typically costs the seller negotiated brokerage compensation, deed documentary stamp tax at $0.70 per $100 of price, a lien search and prorated property tax. In Collier County the buyer customarily pays the owner’s title policy and chooses the closing agent, and the contract controls.
Data updated: October 2026 (Florida Statute 201.02, Collier County Property Appraiser 2026 preliminary tax roll, read 2026-10-02)
In Collier County the buyer customarily pays for the owner’s title policy and chooses the closing agent, and the seller customarily pays the documentary stamp tax on the deed. We list no owner’s title policy as a seller cost. For the statewide walk-through, see our guide to seller closing costs in Florida.
The first price is $7,800,000, the April 22, 2026 sale at 105 Felipe Ln. The second is $5,630,000, the January 21, 2021 sale at the same address. The 2.5 percent brokerage figures illustrate and are not our fee, and the buyer-agent offer is optional and shown separately.
| Line | $7,800,000 sale (April 22, 2026) | $5,630,000 sale (January 21, 2021) |
|---|---|---|
| Listing brokerage compensation, illustration at 2.5 percent | $195,000 | $140,750 |
| Optional buyer-agent offer, illustration at 2.5 percent | $195,000 | $140,750 |
| Deed documentary stamp tax, $0.70 per $100 (section 201.02) | $54,600 | $39,410 |
| Municipal lien search, our estimate (typical range $100 to $250) | $175 | $175 |
| Property tax proration at a June 30 closing, 181/365 of the $51,835 median 2026 preliminary bill | $25,704 | $25,704 |
| Association estoppel certificate | Capped by statute, not in total | Capped by statute, not in total |
| Total with the buyer-agent offer | $470,479 (6.03%) | $346,789 (6.16%) |
| Net before mortgage payoff, with the offer | $7,329,521 | $5,283,211 |
| Total without the buyer-agent offer | $275,479 (3.53%) | $206,039 (3.66%) |
| Net before mortgage payoff, without the offer | $7,524,521 | $5,423,961 |
The arithmetic is plain. At $7,800,000, 2.5 percent is $195,000 and $7,800,000 divided by 100 times $0.70 is $54,600. The proration is 181 divided by 365 of $51,835, or $25,704. Adding $195,000, $195,000, $54,600, $175 and $25,704 gives $470,479, and $7,800,000 minus that is $7,329,521. The sheet leaves out your payoff, association prorations, repair credits, any special assessment and moving costs, and it uses the median bill, not your own.
Brokerage compensation is negotiated between you and your listing agent. The National Association of Realtors’ 2024 settlement made buyer agreements written and ended published offers of compensation on the multiple listing service, as its settlement FAQs explain. Whether to offer a buyer’s agent compensation is your decision, which is why the sheet shows both outcomes.
Florida has no state personal income tax, so a Barefoot Estates seller owes documentary stamp tax and prorated property tax at closing, and federal capital gains tax only on gain above the home-sale exclusion. A seller who used the home as a main home for two of the last five years can exclude up to $250,000, or $500,000 filing jointly.
Data updated: October 2026 (IRS Publication 523 and Topic 701, Florida Statutes sections 193.155 and 201.02, read 2026-10-02)
IRS Topic 701 and Publication 523 explain the exclusion, and Topic 409 covers capital gains generally. A second home or a rental does not qualify the same way. Three of the six homes carry a homestead exemption on the 2026 preliminary roll, a rough proxy for primary residences, but your basis, holding period and use decide your result. A tax adviser should run your numbers before you set a price.
Most Barefoot Estates owners net more by listing with an experienced agent, because the lease, flood, insurance and association questions that stall a sale are the ones an agent resolves in advance. A cash sale trades price for speed, and selling by owner leaves every disclosure and negotiation to you.
Data updated: October 2026 (Florida Statutes sections 720.401 and 689.302, read 2026-10-02)
| What you care about | List with McGreevy and Comisar | Sell to a cash buyer | Sell by owner |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exposure | Southwest Florida MLS, our team site and buyer database | One buyer | Whatever you arrange |
| Price discipline | Priced from recorded sales and defended at appraisal | Offer typically discounted for speed and risk | Set without the county record |
| Association papers and disclosures | Gathered and delivered on time | Still owed by the seller | Owed by the seller, unaided |
| Who should choose it | Most Barefoot Estates sellers | Owners who value speed over price | Owners with a buyer in hand and strong paperwork |
Choose a cash sale only if speed matters more than price, and sell by owner only if a buyer is in hand and a closing agent or attorney handles the section 720.401 summary. Even a cash buyer still needs an insurance quote, an estoppel certificate and clear title, so we confirm proof of funds before we show the home.

We could not verify the Southwest Florida MLS figures, the association’s dollar assessments, which lease rule the association enforces and several property-level facts for Barefoot Estates. Each gap below names the document or route that closes it, so a seller, a buyer or our team can settle it before you list.
Data updated: October 2026 (gaps as of 2026-10-02)
Sellers in Barefoot Estates at Barefoot Beach ask the questions below most often, and each answer comes from the county record, recorded association documents and the Florida statutes. Where a fact is not published we say so and name the document that answers it, and Southwest Florida MLS figures are from our pull of October 3, 2026.
Data updated: October 2026 (Collier County Property Appraiser public data files, 2026 preliminary roll, sales through August 24, 2026)
The county’s 2026 preliminary just values run from $5,616,107 to $14,286,845, and the one qualified sale in five years was $7,800,000. Just value is not a price. Our free valuation returns the nearest sales and adjustments for your lot.
The county recorded 1 qualified sale in the 12 months since October 2025, $7,800,000 on April 22, 2026. The Southwest Florida MLS, pulled October 3, 2026, also shows 1 closing in the 12 months to that date, at $7,800,000 with a closing date of April 24, 2026, and 2 in the last 60 months. The two sources count differently.
We price from the nearest like sale and adjust for frontage, flood zone, age, view and condition, using the enclave’s six sales and the lanes’ nine. We show you each comparable and never rely on one average.
No. It is six single-family homes under a property owners association governed by chapter 720, so the condominium resale package and its 7-day clause do not apply. Your buyer receives the section 720.401 disclosure summary instead.
No. The association named in the 1995 covenants merged into the Barefoot Beach Property Owners Association in 2000, which counts the seven plots as 11 of 136 shares. The 1995 covenants remain recorded.
The 1995 covenants say at least one month, and the 2009 declaration says 90 days, one lease a year, with board approval. No document we read says which prevails, so we ask the association in writing.
Not under the 2009 text, which allows one lease a year at a 90-day minimum. Collier County also requires vacation-rental registration above three rentals of under 30 days a year, so confirm the rule in writing.
You owe unpaid assessments through closing, and the estoppel certificate states the amount, including any resale assessment the board has set. The statute caps the certificate fee, and we publish no estoppel fee dollars.
A July 14, 2010 amendment at OR 4586 PG 823 created a board-set resale assessment in section 7.10 and states no dollar figure. Your estoppel shows whether the board has set one, and the contract says who pays it.
The statute requires the section 720.401 disclosure summary before the buyer signs. It does not require the declaration, budget or rules, but buyers ask for them, so we gather them with the estoppel before you list.
Section 689.302 requires a flood disclosure covering flooding that damaged the property during your ownership, flood insurance claims and repair assistance, at or before contract execution. Have your elevation certificate and claim history ready.
We recommend one. It states your lowest floor against the base flood elevation, and an insurer uses it to rate flood coverage. The county index lists eight certificates on Felipe Ln and Saint Eustacius Ln combined, not matched to homes.
No. Two of the six homes sit on parcels that reach the Gulf, 109 Felipe Ln and 110 Saint Eustacius Ln, and four are near-Gulf. The common tract at 115 Felipe Ln also reaches the Gulf. This is our reading of the public map layers.
We cannot measure the premium from a record this thin, so we price from the nearest like home, adjust for view and flood zone, and tell you which part of the number is judgment.
A lender will expect flood insurance on a home in a Special Flood Hazard Area and a wind and hazard binder at closing. What a lender requires is the lender’s own rule, so ask early because it sets the buyer’s budget.
The statute limits Citizens eligibility for a major structure newly built, or rebuilt or enlarged by more than 25 percent, under a permit applied for after July 1, 2015 seaward of the control line. We do not state any home’s status.
It documents roof shape, covering, deck attachment and opening protection, which Florida Statute 627.0629 requires insurers to credit. A current report lets a buyer’s agent get a quote before the inspection period ends.
For a Gulf-side home of this value, yes. Knowing the roof age, window ratings, foundation condition and any water intrusion before listing avoids a renegotiation, and a seawall or pool inspection belongs on the same list where one exists.
Check the county’s 50 percent rule first: a repair or improvement costing 50 percent or more of the building’s value, as Ordinance 2019-01 defines it, triggers current standards. Cosmetic work is usually safe, and structural work is a question for the county’s floodplain staff.
Ordinance 2019-44 allows three habitable floors for Tract D and the Estates section, and the county’s staff report describes it a little differently. Flood elevation, coastal rules and association approvals also apply, so get a written zoning verification first.
FEMA’s preliminary map re-issues the panel as 0179K, and the zone and base flood elevation are unchanged at every point we tested. The map is not final, so we tell buyers it is proposed.
Tell the buyer early, with an elevation certificate. By our reading of the public map layers 3 of 7 parcels reach VE, and a building in more than one zone is rated in the more hazardous one.
In 2023 the Association’s common areas, including the Estates’ common area, were listed in temporary easements to Collier County at OR 6248 PG 1066 to 1357. They are not a public dedication and end December 31, 2043.
It depends on the contract. In Collier County the seller customarily pays the deed’s documentary stamps, and the buyer customarily pays the owner’s title policy, chooses the closing agent and pays lender and inspection costs.
The buyer customarily pays the owner’s title policy in Collier County and chooses the closing agent. Your contract can say otherwise, and we never list the title policy as a seller cost.
The deed tax is $0.70 per $100 of price under Florida Statute 201.02, so $7,800,000 carries $54,600: $7,800,000 divided by 100, times $0.70. The seller customarily pays it in Collier County.
It depends on whether the home is your main home for two of the last five years. The IRS exclusion is up to $250,000, or $500,000 filing jointly. Talk to a tax adviser before you list.
The exemption ends when you sell. Florida’s Save Our Homes cap can in some cases be ported to a new Florida homestead, within limits the Property Appraiser administers, so ask before you close on your next home.
The buyer’s assessment resets to just value as of the next January 1 under section 193.155, so the buyer’s bill will not match yours. Florida Statute 689.261 requires the contract to say taxes may change.
The Master Association staffs the gate around the clock, and its guest procedure for brokers is not published for the Estates. We ask for it in writing, set appointments with notice and screen buyers first.
Dues are customarily prorated to the closing date, and the estoppel states what is paid through when. No dues figure is published, so the closing agent applies the figures from your estoppel.
The Southwest Florida MLS, pulled October 3, 2026, shows 2 Barefoot Estates closings in the 60 months to that date: one after 99 days on market, closed April 24, 2026, and one with 1 day on market recorded, closed December 12, 2022. Two sales give no median. The county shows one sale in five years, and the two sources count differently. Either count says the pool is small, not how long a well-priced home waits.
Yes, if you know of damage that materially affects value and is not readily observable. Keep your claim file, invoices and permits together, because documented repairs satisfy a buyer more easily than an undocumented patch.
We found no record tying a Barefoot Estates deed to membership in the private club at 105 Shell Dr. If you hold a membership, its own rules govern transfer, so ask the club in writing.
Commission is negotiable and set in your listing agreement, and we explain it fully before you sign. Call Jesse at (239) 898-6072 to walk through what we do and what it costs, with no obligation.
A Barefoot Beach specialist matters because the community’s value and paperwork sit in details most agents never learn: a master association above every neighborhood, a staffed gate, flood zones that change by address and, in Barefoot Estates, two covenant documents that disagree on leasing. Buyers pay for answered questions.
