Large homesites and Old Florida style architecture are the hallmarks of life in Coconut Creek, a secluded, tree-filled residential neighborhood located in the quiet Iona area of south Fort Myers, Florida.
Conceived and created by noted builder Daniel Wayne Homes beginning in 1990, Coconut Creek sits on what was once the historic Frederick J. Wesemeyer estate, a 76-acre tropical oasis reminiscent of times gone by.
There are 123 estate-sized luxury homes in Coconut Creek, and the developer stayed true to the architectural ambience of early Florida. In fact, the community’s clubhouse building was once the hunting cabin of Wesemeyer, a masterpiece of rough-sawn cedar slabs that has withstood the test of time in exemplary style and is now an official Florida Historic Landmark.
