8200 CLEVELAND DRIVE, Punta Gorda, FL 33982

If you’ve been looking for room to breathe in Charlotte County, this is the one. Set behind a gated entrance on 4.5 fully fenced acres just outside Punta Gorda, this property gives you two separate homes, a detached four-car garage, and the kind of country setup where horses, chickens, and golf carts are just part of everyday life.
Here’s what really sets it apart, because the owners didn’t cut corners. Every building on the property, both homes and the garage, has a new standing-seam metal roof, and both homes run on solar. In Florida, that combination is gold. You get lower insurance, lower power bills, and real peace of mind when storm season rolls around. It also sits in Flood Zone X, so no mandatory flood insurance is required. The main home also got a brand-new 2026 AC and air handler, so the big-ticket items are already handled.
The main house is 2,198 square feet with an open great room and a kitchen built for someone who actually likes to cook. You’ve got wide granite counters, a double sink, eat-at seating, wood cabinetry, and an under-sink reverse-osmosis system for clean drinking water. The owner’s suite has dual sinks, a walk-in shower, and a separate soaking tub. Two more bedrooms share a bath that doubles as the pool bath, and a bonus room works great as an office, den, or game room. Inside laundry and a large carport round it out.
Out back is where you’ll spend your evenings. A big screened lanai opens to a saltwater pool that was recently drilled, releveled, sealed, and resurfaced, with newer pumps and a heat pump so you can swim most of the year. There’s patio space for the grill and a 16×16 fire pit for the cooler nights.
A short walk across the property is the second home, 1,232 square feet with its own living room, dining area, kitchen, two bedrooms, a bath, and an enclosed front porch. It sits on its own septic system, so it’s fully independent and ideal for extended family, guests, a home office, or rental income.
This place was built for self-reliance. You’ve got a full well system with new equipment and a new well house, a whole-home generator hookup, an RV hookup at the garage, EMF insulation, fresh interior and exterior paint, new carpet, recessed lighting, updated electrical, and a newer refrigerator. The homestead setup is already done and done right. There’s a 40×60 goat pen standing 5 feet tall and an 8x8x12 chicken coop with a 9-foot closed-in run that opens to a 30×35 open run wrapped in 6-foot chicken wire fencing. Add in 4.5 acres ready for horses, gardens, or whatever you’ve got planned, and the country life is yours.
And the location is hard to beat. You’re a quick drive from downtown Punta Gorda, and some of the best boating in Florida is right out your back door. The Peace River, Charlotte Harbor, and a straight shot to the Gulf are all within reach. Spend your weekends on the water or make a day trip to Boca Grande, Englewood, Sanibel, or Venice.
Two homes, 4.5 acres, and more than $190,000 in upgrades already done. Come see it before it’s gone. Sheds do not convey.
