Gulf-access lots and new construction
Steven built and remodeled homes, and a small subdivision, in New Hampshire before moving to Cape Coral and focusing on gulf-access land and new construction.
He has been on both sides of the build
Before real estate, Steven ran a remodeling and construction company, built and remodeled homes and a small subdivision in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire. When he moved to Cape Coral in 2009 he focused on gulf-access land and new construction.
That means questions about the lot and the plans, not only the price.

Buying a lot? Check the water first
Does the canal really connect?
Confirm saltwater access, then run the lot address through the boat-time tool before you pay for plans.
Bridge height for the boat you want
The lowest bridge on the route decides the tallest boat you can keep at the dock.
Seawall and dock
Ask about seawall condition and what a dock and lift will add to the budget.
Flood zone
Flood zone and required elevation shape the house design and the insurance, so ask first.
Buy new or build?
| Buy new construction | Buy a lot and build | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | People who want a move-in date and fixed finishes | People who want a specific plan or a specific canal |
| Water check | Boat time and bridges for that exact address | Boat time and bridges before you buy the lot |
| Ask Steven | Which builders and neighborhoods fit | Which lots have the water you need |

Open water.
Tell Steven what you want to do on the water and he will check it against a real address.
