Golden Gate Estates and City
Home Condominium Land Sales and Rentals

Golden Gate Estates and City is one of the fastest growing residential communities in the Naples Florida real estate market, in fact it is estimated that over 60% of all Collier County residents will live east of I-75 by the year 2020.

Golden Gate Estates homes range from small single family homes to large estate homes - all with acreage which makes for a perfect family oriented lifestyle in a gracious country setting, but close to the city of Naples. Golden Gate Estates homes are usually set on a minimum of 1.14 acres, but the most common lot size is around 2.5 acres, though homes on up to 10 acres or more are still available.

Because large amounts of vacant land are for sale in Golden Gate Estates, many of the Naples Florida's top home builders have home model centers there. With plenty of room for horses or a guest home, Golden Gate Estates offers one of the most realistic and affordable places to build your dream home in the Naples area, giving you the opportunity of living a country lifestyle only 20 minutes from the city of Naples.

Golden Gate Estates is 172 square miles in size, located just east of I-75, where Naples meets the Everglades to provide property owner here with a suburban lifestyle with all the benefits of living in the country. Golden Gate is in Collier County, and bears a Naples mailing address. Golden Gate Estates offers amenities not found in other areas of Naples, such as the ability to keep two large animals per acre. With the average lot size in Golden gate Estates being 2.5 acres, one can have 4 to 5 horses, but alpacas, ostrich and llamas are also welcome.

50 years ago, the Gulf American Land Corporation purchased 177 square miles of land about 7 miles northeast of Naples to develop. Buyers were brought in by airplane and many only saw their lot from the air. By 1970 there were still fewer than 2,000 residents.

Wetlands

About 50% of the lots in Golden Gate Estates have some wetlands. All wetland lots are buildable with required special permits. The size of the house and pool are not restricted, but detached structures (such as guest house, garage, barn, shop) may not be placed within wetland areas, but may be connected to the main building. Most lots that have wetlands also have uplands. No ERP permits are needed to build on the uplands part of your lot. Tropical Environmental Consultants can handle all phases of wetland determination and permitting.

Mitigation

Mitigation is used to offset the destruction created by building on wetlands. The owner is paying for wetlands in another area equal to the size and quality of the wetlands they are impacting. Depending on the type of permit needed, mitigation may or may not be required and costs can be paid by buying credits from a mitigation bank.
