Spring has long been a season of renewed energy and prosperity in Southwest Florida’s real estate market, when buyers return in force and exceptional properties take center stage. Offered at $2,475,000 by Lauren Wittman and Justin Falta of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty’s Vanderbilt office, the property at 620 East Fort Thompson Avenue is currently the highest-priced residential listing in Hendry County and could represent a record-breaking sale.

Set along more than 400 feet of frontage on the Caloosahatchee River, this Old Florida estate blends remarkable waterfront scale with rich local history. Originally established as a homestead around 1950, the property has had only two owners since 1969 and was long owned by the L.J. Nobles family, recognized as a Pioneer Family by the LaBelle Swamp Cabbage Festival for their contributions to the region’s agricultural heritage.

In 1987, the home was remodeled with Frank Lloyd Wright–inspired architectural elements, including the addition of a spacious primary suite and a saltwater pool. Since acquiring the property in 2016, the current owners have completed a comprehensive renovation that preserves the residence’s historic character while enhancing modern comfort.

A detached guest suite, originally relocated from Immokalee as an anniversary gift, was once used as an art house and has since been transformed into a charming French country–style retreat. As the spring market awakens, opportunities like this riverfront estate are poised to make waves.
