~ We get many questions about our potential new location for ALDABRAMAN. For several years i have been scouting and searching for possible property on a river. My brother in law was on a routine jog near his residence located in Bonita Springs Florida (Lee County) USA, when he noticed a for sale sign poorly placed on a private overgrown dead end road. He texted me and we immediately drove over and checked things out. It was a tremendous mess, overgrown and had had tons of debris on it. After a little research, the property was very unique in many ways. Some of the things that i felt were positive was that is was about 3.5 acres and was zoned agriculture in the middle of the city limits that was on a gulf access healthy river system. After several property walks and further gathering of information, i learned that the property had a house, barn and several other small sheds, etc. that was condemn by the city and forced the previous owner to demolish several years ago. The property had two wells, city water and city sewer already on site. The mature trees were simply Phenomenal. Part of the property included a small island, boat dock and boat slip. I started researching other properties to get a market analysis, which proved to be impossible. There simply was nothing within years that was available or sold with that much land and assets. There were concerns, the most serious was all the offsets and setbacks. After much due diligence, consideration and thought, i decided to make an offer. After several days of "BS" and tough negotiations we had a deal. In November we successfully closed on the property and i started clearing a path to the rear of the property and mowing what was possible. The project had begun!
