This Fort Myers Beach listing comes with a watchdog !

By
Real Estate Agent with 16 Sunview Blvd

I was doing an OPEN HOUSE at my 8305 Estero Blvd, Fort Myers Beach listing and decided to get some practise with my new camera.  This engaging fellow was kind enough to patiently pose for me while I fiddled with the settings. Cranes are common here on the island and seem to enjoy being photographed !

Fort Myers Beach 8305 Estero Blvd listing - Bill Gillhespy

The shot was taken with a Nikon 78-135 tele lens about 15 feet away.  He was looking for some lunch in the canal below.

The house is an executive ranch, 3/2 with caged pool and covered boat lift. 

Fort Myers Beach canal home for sale.

This canal home is on the preferred south end of Fort Myers Beach.  Current owners love this place and also do approx $30k in rentals !  To arrange a showing or additional details please contact me direct:  239  699-7128.

Bill,

Those are some great shots.  It'd be nice to live that close to the water too!

A few years back our place at Hilton Head had one of these guys that was there every morning looking for some frozen fish handouts. Im a sucker for wildlife so he got his breakfast the easy way!

What a fine looking visitor to show up at your open house.  Now that's one house I wouldn't mind spending the afternoon sitting.

Bill,

I love this crane and think it's a great kind of watchdog.  Having lived in Michegan for a year or so on a lake, with lots of wild Canadien Geese on our dock and beach front, the watch birds were most un welcome.  Hopefully this crane is not the same.  Thanks for your comment about RE Trends.

Hi Bill, we live on the water too so we get grey herons as well.  Start feeding them and they will come knocking on the door for more!

Great photo Bill.  Somehow doing an open house at a beach listing sounds more fun that one say 3 hours from the beach like I am in Cary NC!

Now aren't you glad that you had your camera with you. Like American Express, "Never leave home without it."

That's a pretty watchdog. I'm actually a cat person, but I could certainly tolerate a watchdog like that one!
