Built for the Future: A Home Designed to Withstand and Thrive
Fort Myers Beach, FL – February 2025 – A new era of luxury coastal living is taking shape as Curtis Gunther of Imperial Homes of Naples and Sherie S. Weidner of Clive Daniel Home unveil their latest collaboration: a 6,990-square-foot beachfront masterpiece on Fort Myers Beach. As the first single-family model home built in the area in over a decade, this architectural triumph sets a new benchmark for luxury, resilience, and cutting-edge coastal construction.
Designed to embrace Florida’s evolving climate challenges, this residence blends state-of-the-art materials with forward-thinking engineering to ensure longevity and sustainability.
“We are seeing stronger and more frequent hurricanes,” notes Sherie S. Weidner, explaining how rising ocean temperatures are reshaping coastal design. “By exceeding minimum requirements wherever possible, we aim to stay ahead of the climate curve.”
Echoing this commitment, Curtis Gunther adds, “In a previous project, raising the base elevation just two feet above code requirements prevented significant storm damage, whereas neighboring properties faced extensive flooding.”
Now completed at 5921 Estero Blvd, this three-level, four-bedroom estate epitomizes modern coastal luxury while seamlessly integrating biophilic design elements, smart home technology, and structural resilience.
