RAPALLO AT COCONUT POINT
Close to Everything.
It’s really simple. If you’re not an avid golfer why buy in a golf community? Golfers want to socialize with golfers so it makes it a lonely life for you. And if you’re an empty-nester don’t buy in a family community. Sure you love your grandkids but you won’t have much in common with your twenty-something neighbors.
Likewise if you love the excitement of dining,
shopping and entertainment don’t buy out-in-the-boondocks when you
can live close to the action. And unless you have a few million to
spend on a home-on-the-gulf what does it matter if you drive 5
minutes or 15 minutes to the beach?
Never compromise your lifestyle. If you have to
compromise do it on the size of the guest bedroom or the garage but
never the community itself.
Located in upscale Estero just a few miles north of Naples is a resort-lifestyle community next to the 14 restaurants and 124 stores and entertainment of Coconut Point Town Center. It’s only 15 minutes to Barefoot Beach, Bonita Beach and SWF International Airport.
Created for today’s individualistic but plugged-in baby boomer Rapallo at Coconut Point is a low-density, pedestrian-scale, eco-conscious, gated community of 540 residences nestled around 9 lakes, a protected wildlife preserve and its members-only Club at Rapallo.
No
expensive golf course here but virtually everything else. The Club at Rapallo
offers an incomparable choice of amenities so residents can design their own
lifestyle.
The clubhouse with its lagoon pools, spa, fire pit, fishing pier and freshwater
beach. The tennis center with its lighted, Har-tru courts, pro shop and stadium
court. The fitness center with its cardio and strengthening programs, circuit
training and 25 meter Olympic lap pool. The learning center with its aerobic,
yoga and dance studio, media center and creative arts studio.
And scattered throughout Rapallo is a collection of bronze sculptures set in
botanical gardens, flowering bocce parks, neighborhood swimming pools, 24 acres
of stocked lakes, 43 acres of protected wildlife preserve, a nature boardwalk
and 3 miles of walking/biking paths. Best of all, everything is included.
The towns of Liguria, Italy were the inspiration for this
walkable community mixing Tuscan, Provence and Moorish towers,
random roof lines, deep shadow-lines and contrasting color palettes
with stone, brick, tile and copper to bring the Cinque Terra to
life.
Says Jim Wallace, creator of Rapallo “From the beginning our vision
was a community where people, connectivity, pedestrian-scale, shape,
color, texture, green space, art and a bit of whimsy come together
to create a wonderful sense of place.”
Perhaps that’s why the Estero Design Review Committee named Rapallo
its inaugural Community of the Year and a 2010 Creative Research
study gave it a 5-Star rating for site design and architecture plus
a near-perfect 5.8 out of 6.0 for “Overall Community Concept”.
Full
club membership is included with every residence so there’s no club equity fee
to pay..ever. There’s also no CDD tax and no closing costs. The purchase price
is all you need to close on your home and enjoy all the Club at Rapallo
amenities plus the restaurants, shopping and entertainment next door at Coconut
Point Town Center.
The low monthly fees are also all-inclusive - including insurance, water, sewer,
cable, 24/7 security, building and landscape maintenance, club staff and
fully-funded reserves – everything except taxes and electricity. And the
combined condo/HOA/master/club/cable costs are only $499 a month.
Rapallo offers 3 bedroom 2 bath lakefront coach homes from 1606 - 1836 AC sq.
ft. Every home is Mediterranean barrel-tile roofs, CBS construction with poured
concrete second floors, metal framing, sound-insulated interior walls,
fire-sprinklers and 130 mph hurricane impact-glass windows and sliders (no
shutters required).
Coach home prices start as low as $274,000 on-the-lake. Mid-rise condos with
elevator are $224,000 and carriage homes are $348,000. And there’s a $5,000
buyer incentive for cash sales with 30 day closings.
Decorated models are open everyday 9:30-5:30. For model or club tour visit the
Enclave at Rapallo model center off US 41 just north of Coconut Point Town
