Golden Gate Estates in Naples Florida

Golden Gate Estates stretches from Interstate 75 at Pine Ridge Road north to Immokalee Road, east to Desoto Boulevard and south to Interstate 75, where vacant lots are generously sized to more than five acres and restrictions are few. Want to have horses or build a Gothic castle and paint it purple? There is no architectural review board to reject your plan and likely no neighbors near enough to complain.

Golden Gate Estates beginnings are much like those of many other Southwest Florida communities: Swampland and canals were dug about every mile, then the land was subdivided into five-acre tracts. Some larger parcels of vacant land were subdivided down to 1.25 acres. At roughly 43,000-plus acres, Golden Gate Estates is Collier Countys largest neighborhood, incorporating gated communities like The Vineyards and Wyndemere Country Club.
