3824 Helms Court, Fort Myers An exceptional fusion of structural fortitude, contemporary refinement, and uncommon privacy, this distinctive 2024-built residence occupies approximately three-quarters of an acre, with additional adjacent land to the left that will remain undeveloped—creating a sense of openness increasingly difficult to replicate. Engineered with resilience at its core, this high-end steel-frame home was constructed to withstand hurricane-force winds of up to 180 MPH. Unlike conventional wood-frame construction, its heavy-duty steel structural system provides formidable lateral and tensile strength, engineered to absorb and dissipate extreme wind energy. From the standing-seam metal roof through the steel wall columns, the structure is securely bolted and anchored directly into its substantial concrete slab foundation, creating a continuous load path designed to channel tremendous wind forces into the ground. The uplift-resistant standing-seam roofing system utilizes interlocking metal panels secured with concealed, closely spaced heavy-duty clips rather than conventional exposed fasteners—an important distinction when confronting the vacuum and uplift forces generated by severe storms. Impact-resistant windows and a reinforced garage door further complement this impressively robust construction. The oversized, high-ceiling bay garage is extraordinarily versatile, accommodating vehicles, a boat, camper, recreational equipment, or a serious workshop. Its generous vertical clearance also provides the space necessary for automotive work and larger projects rarely feasible in a traditional residential garage. Inside, the residence offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms within an interior that feels more akin to a beautifully appointed boutique hotel suite than a conventional home. Sophisticated finishes and an inviting atmosphere create an unexpectedly elegant counterpoint to the home's formidable exterior construction. Outdoor living is equally appealing, with a welcoming front sitting porch and screened rear lanai overlooking the expansive property. A substantial exterior shed, securely attached to the foundation, provides additional utility and storage. Perhaps most compelling is the setting. Positioned on an exceptionally private cul-de-sac-style road with virtually no through traffic and only two neighboring residences, the property delivers a remarkable degree of seclusion without sacrificing accessibility. At just over two years old, this is an opportunity to acquire a nearly new, extraordinarily well-engineered residence on approximately three-quarters of an acre at a price that deserves serious consideration when compared with the cost of recreating comparable steel construction, improvements, and acreage today. This is not simply a home—it is a property built with permanence, versatility, privacy, and enduring value in mind. A propane tank and generator hook-up are already installed for your immediate peace of mind.

Property is being sold AS-IS. The bathrooms are not currently functional. Buyers should independently evaluate financing eligibility based upon the property's present condition and are encouraged to conduct thorough inspections and independently verify the condition and functionality of all systems, components, appliances and improvements.
