Spanish Wells home sales are above last year, at a lower median sale price

Spanish Wells had 25 closings over the 120 days ending October 1, 2026. That is 78.6% more than the same stretch last year. The median sale price was $520,000, 17.5% below last year. Sales have run above last year for eight months in a row, February through September, and the median has been below it for three.

Fewer homes sold over the summer. Closings fell from 32 over the 120 days ending May 1. The 25 sales ranged from $180,000 to $1,500,000, so the median moves with the mix of homes that sell.

What Spanish Wells condos and homes sold for in September 2026

Spanish Wells had eight September sales, and the results split by home type. Two Marbella condos sold at 97% and 100% of their first asking price. Older single-family homes gave up more. Two homes built in 1993 and 1997 closed at 84% and 83% of their first asking price, and a 1996 Lake Club home needed three price cuts to close at 83%.

A 2,100-square-foot Marbella home built in 2005 took 138 days and sold for $520,000, $45,000 under its final asking price. The first asking price is the price a home carried when it first came on the market. Seven of the eight sales have one on record. Their median closed at 86.9% of it, about $59,000 below.

Spanish Wells homes for sale: 21 of 26 meet the Competitive Inventory screen

Worthington’s Competitive Inventory screen sets aside homes on their current listing for 180 days or more. It also sets aside relisted homes that came back less than 3% below their earlier price.

Of the 26 homes for sale on October 1, 21 meet the screen. That is about 3.4 months of supply at the 120-day sales pace, against 4.2 months for all 26. Buyers can still choose any of the 5 set aside. Eight of the 26 had been listed before in the past year.

Homes under contract fell to five on October 1, from nine on September 1. Both counts use contracts signed in the past 120 days.

How to compare Spanish Wells home prices

Compare a home with sales in the same neighborhood and of the same type. A Marbella condo, a Lake Club home and a home in the original units sell at prices far apart, and their association fees differ too.

Optional Membership

Golf at Spanish Wells: a membership you choose

Spanish Wells Golf and Country Club belongs to the residents through their community association, and Troon runs it. It is not an equity club.

Club membership

Optional outside Cordova

Cordova homes carry a required Club Amenities membership, $262.50 a month, with full use of the club, discounted golf and no food minimum. Every other neighborhood chooses.

Cost of Ownership

Spanish Wells HOA fees and the full cost of owning a home

Every home here pays the master fee to the Spanish Wells Community Association, $3,031.45 a year in 2026, for the gates, the roads, the lakes, the grounds, reserves and community internet and TV. Each neighborhood collects it inside its own bill and adds its own share. Start with the kind of home you are considering, then pick the neighborhood or building named on the listing.

Association fees

$3,055 to $11,640 a year

Every neighborhood we can document, before property tax. Spanish Wells has no community development district.

At purchase

$5,050 to the master association at a resale closing. The buyer pays a $4,800 capital contribution and a $250 transfer fee. Each association also charges for its estoppel certificate, $299 for the master, and the contract decides who pays it. Lake Club adds a $2,000 contribution and a $150 application, and a Cordova buyer pays the club a $2,500 membership transfer fee.

Every yearly figure is the quarterly fee times four. Club dues are not in any figure except Cordova’s required membership, which is before sales tax.

The master fee comes from the Spanish Wells Community Association 2026 approved budget, and Lake Club from its 2026-27 budget. The other neighborhood and building fees are current as of October 2026. Unit One is not listed; it pays the master fee plus Unit One’s own dues, so ask us for that figure. The estoppel at closing confirms the exact amounts.

Four things the fee schedule does not show

Club amenities need a membership

The golf course takes public tee times. The pool, fitness center, tennis, bocce and pickleball courts need a club membership, and association fees do not include access to them.

Cordova comes with a club membership

Every Cordova home carries the Club Amenities membership, $262.50 a month plus sales tax, with discounted golf and no food minimum. A Cordova owner can choose the Cordova golf membership instead, $562.50 a month.

Internet and TV are in the master fee

Summit Broadband provides 1 Gig internet with a Wi-Fi 6 router, and DirecTV comes through the same arrangement. Together they are $1,136.28 of the master fee a year.

Unit One bills its own share

Unit One homes pay the master fee plus Unit One’s dues in one bill. We confirm the current figure for any Unit One home before you make an offer.

Verify the exact home. The master fee resets each January, Lake Club’s each April, and an individual home can carry its own charges. Before you make an offer we review the budgets and governing documents for that neighborhood: both fees, the capital contribution and the leasing rules. We also check the reserves, any pending special assessment and, for a condominium, the building’s milestone inspection and reserve study. The estoppel at closing confirms the final figures. To put these beside taxes, insurance and the rest, use our cost of owning a home in Southwest Florida breakdown.

Every home is a little different. Send us the address and we will confirm both fees, the capital contribution, any club requirement and the leasing rules for that neighborhood.

For Owners Who Rent

Renting out a Spanish Wells home: the lease rules

The master declaration allows whole-home leases of at least 30 days, with 30 days between lease starts. Most neighborhoods add a yearly cap, so two homes a street apart can follow different rules.

Rental limits

30 days minimum

Unit Two, Lake Club, the Golf Condos, Las Brisas and Marbella allow 3 leases a year. Cordova requires 90 days and allows 4.

  1. The lease

    Whole homes only, in writing, at least 30 continuous days. No room rentals or subleasing, and no new lease until 30 days after the last one began. Unit Two and Lake Club also cap a lease at one year, with no automatic renewals.

  2. The paperwork

    The lease goes to the neighborhood association first: Unit Two asks for 20 days’ notice and Unit Three for 30. Once approved, the master association sets up the tenant’s gate access.

  3. The gate

    Tenants on leases over 90 days get their own gate login. Shorter stays register guests by phone at least two hours ahead, and tenants staying 31 days or more can buy a $50 barcode.

  4. The taxes

    Rentals of six months or less can owe Florida sales tax and Lee County’s tourist development tax, so check what your booking platform collects. Unit Three reports rental addresses to Lee County.

Unit One and Unit Three follow the master rule and set no separate yearly cap that we can find. Confirm the cap for a specific home in writing before counting on a season.

We work with owners renting in Spanish Wells. If you are weighing a rental, we can check your neighborhood’s lease rules and what the home realistically rents for.

Detailed Buyer Guide

Living in Spanish Wells: a buyer’s guide

Aerial view of the Spanish Wells Golf and Country Club clubhouse in Bonita Springs, Florida, with its parking lot and tennis and pickleball courts in the foreground, a fountain pond on the golf course, and homes among the trees beyond

Spanish Wells is a gated, all-ages golf community in Bonita Springs, south of Bonita Beach Road between U.S. 41 and Old 41. Its 1,351 homes sit on 1,361 homesites across about 600 acres, with 42 lakes and three nine-hole golf courses. The club dates to 1979, and the newest neighborhood, Cordova, was finished in 2018.

The residents own the club. The Spanish Wells Community Association bought it in January 2018 after an owner vote, and Troon runs it day to day. Membership is optional in every neighborhood except Cordova, and the course is open to the public. The pool, fitness center and courts are for members and their guests.

Every home belongs to the master association, which collects its fee through the neighborhood associations. The eight neighborhoods are run by 10 neighborhood associations and 22 sub-associations in all, so a condominium can answer to its own building association as well. That extra layer is a large part of why a condominium here costs more each year than a house.

Inside Spanish Wells

  • Location: South of Bonita Beach Road between U.S. 41 and Old 41, a few miles from Bonita Beach and minutes from I-75.
  • Size and homes: 1,351 homes on 1,361 homesites across about 600 acres, with 42 lakes. The eight neighborhoods are Units One, Two and Three, Lake Club, the Golf Condos, Las Brisas, Marbella and Cordova.
  • Built: 1979 to 2018. The original units date from the 1980s and 1990s, Marbella from 2004 to 2008, and Cordova, built by Toll Brothers, from 2014 to 2018.
  • Gates: Three entrances. The main gate on Spanish Wells Boulevard is staffed 24 hours a day, the Cordova gate on Old 41 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and the Marbella gate on Bonita Beach Road runs on resident barcodes and guest passes.
  • Golf and club: 27 holes in three nines and a 32,000-square-foot clubhouse. Members also get a 5,000-square-foot fitness center, five Har-Tru tennis courts, pickleball, Har-Tru bocce, a heated pool and an aqua driving range.
  • What sets it apart: The residents own the club, membership is a choice outside Cordova, and internet and TV come with every home.

Types of Homes in Spanish Wells

The neighborhood decides the home type, the second association and the leasing rules. Settle it first.

Units One, Two and Three are the original single-family sections, about 486 homes, most built in the 1980s and 1990s. Most are one story with a pool, at a median of about 2,350 square feet, and many back up to a fairway or lake.

Lake Club has 105 single-family homes from 1981 to 2003, about 2,100 square feet at the median, with lawn care in the association fee.

Cordova is 128 Toll Brothers homes from 2014 to 2018, about 2,050 to 3,000 square feet, most with a pool. It is the one neighborhood where a club membership comes with the home.

Marbella mixes 85 single-family homes with low-rise condominiums, built from 2004 to 2008. Las Brisas has coach homes, condominiums and villas from 1995 to 2003, and the Golf Condos date from 1984 to 1994. In all three, the condominium association insures and maintains the buildings.

What Living in Spanish Wells Is Like

Daily life here is neighborhood-sized. Residents walk and bike the streets. The neighborhoods run their own socials, from Unit Two’s Cocktails and Conversation to Unit Three’s cocktail parties, and no club membership is needed to go. Committees handle hurricane readiness, safety and the lakes, and a spring series on how the lakes and landscaping work drew neighbors out with a themed margarita.

Club members add golf leagues and tournaments, tennis and pickleball programs, a bocce league and fitness classes. Member events run from the Labor Day tournament to music bingo and trivia nights. The clubhouse also serves as the community’s meeting place, with the Pub and the Crow’s Nest for dining. Ask the club about current dining access for non-members.

The course itself is not a walking trail: no walking, biking, fishing or dog walking on the fairways or cart paths. Use the interactive What’s Nearby map to test the drives to the beach, Coconut Point and the places that matter to you.

What to Know Before You Buy

A few things are worth knowing before an offer. Every home pays the master fee, $3,031.45 a year in 2026. It covers the gates, the roads, the lakes, the common grounds, reserves and community internet and TV. Each neighborhood bills it inside its own fee, so the number on a home is the master fee plus that neighborhood’s share.

At a resale closing the buyer pays a $4,800 capital contribution and a $250 transfer fee to the master association. Lake Club adds a $2,000 contribution, and a Cordova buyer pays the club a $2,500 membership transfer fee. Spanish Wells has no community development district.

The rules are worth a read too. The speed limit is 25 miles per hour, vendors work weekdays and Saturdays only, and open houses run Sundays from noon to 5. Fishing is catch-and-release from the homeowner side of a lake, and swimming and boating are not allowed.

Practical Considerations

  • HOA fees: The master fee is $3,031.45 a year in 2026. With the neighborhood fee, totals run from about $3,055 a year in Unit Two to about $11,640 for some Marbella condominiums.
  • CDD fees: None. Spanish Wells has no community development district.
  • At closing: A $4,800 capital contribution and a $250 transfer fee to the master association. Each association also charges an estoppel fee, and the contract decides who pays it. Lake Club adds $2,000 and a $150 application.
  • Internet and TV: Included in the master fee, through Summit Broadband with DirecTV.
  • Schools: Served by Lee County Public Schools, which places students through School Choice rather than by address.
  • Golf: Optional everywhere except Cordova. The course is open to the public.
  • Leasing: Whole homes only, 30 days at the least. Most neighborhoods allow 3 leases a year, and Cordova requires 90 days.
  • Pets: Leashed off your property and never on the golf course. Neighborhoods and condominium buildings set their own limits on number, size and approval.

The zone affects both insurance cost and lender requirements, and two homes on the same street can sit in different ones. Check the FEMA flood zone for the address first, then get a current insurance quote before you make an offer.
