Community Feature: Pelican Landing

Posted on Mar 10, 2015

Those who have ever dreamed of either living close to the beach or close to world-class golfing will find that they have access to the best of both worlds with a home in Pelican Landing, one of the premier residential communities in the heart of Bonita Springs.

Pelican Landing was originally created as Pelican’s Nest Golf Club, a course designed to serve guests of the nearby Ritz Carlton hotel and sister-community of Pelican Bay. As the golf club grew in popularity, the owners began purchasing the surrounding areas for residential development. With the first official residents having moved into the community in 1990, Pelican Landing now includes villas, single-family homes, coach homes, garden condos, and a mix of both mid-rise and high-rise condos.

Unlike some new developments, which expand and expand until there is nothing left of the original land at all, Pelican Landing was designed to work with and around the existing nature and beauty which surrounds it. Careful planning and development has allowed this community to preserve and maintain its natural beauty, and even individual homeowners are encouraged to make use of the existing vegetation during their landscaping plans. Pelican Landing has succeeded, and all throughout the community you will find lush cypress forests and preserved wetlands, along with the protected wildlife who also makes their home there.

When it comes to amenities, Pelican Landing offers a few very unique options in addition to the usual clubhouse and pool. Those moving to Southwest Florida to be close to the beach will be overjoyed to learned that Pelican Landing has its very own Beach Park, accessible to members by boat shuttle and featuring two open-air pavilions, a nature library, and two bocce courts. In addition to bocce courts, Pelican Landing also offers tennis and pickleball by reservation, and those who want to head out on the water can make use of the community’s kayak, canoe, or sailboat rental facilities. To further encourage the love of nature and wildlife among residents, Pelican Landing also offers a peaceful and pristine Butterfly Garden, perfect for those seeking a little time to themselves to enjoy nature.

Pelican Landing real estate is also well known for its great location in Bonita Springs, centered directly between Naples and Fort Myers, where you’ll have plenty to explore and enjoy within a short drive or boat ride.
