Property Description
Premier Sanibel commercial offering – the Island Trading Post and adjoining parcel. This is a rare opportunity to acquire one of Sanibel Island's most visible and versatile properties, prominently positioned along Periwinkle Way—the island's busiest commercial corridor and gateway from the Causeway. Once home to the well-known Island Trading Post, this landmark site enjoyed decades of success with multiple showrooms and a loyal following. Now, it presents the next owner with unmatched potential for business, investment and lifestyle. The combined offering spans 150 feet of prime Periwinkle frontage with three distinct structures across a scenic, natural setting. At the front, a 2,358-square-foot retail building offers expansive showrooms, prominent signage and generous parking with multiple access points to Periwinkle Way. Behind it, a 2,390-square-foot residence provides four bedrooms, two baths and tranquil views over a pond teeming with birdlife, with the Bailey Homestead Preserve beyond. Completing the package, the neighboring structure features a workshop with storage below and a charming apartment above, ideal for rental income or live-work flexibility. This location benefits from exceptional visibility and traffic: vehicles entering Sanibel across the Causeway average ~18,000 per day, with July 2025 inbound counts up 7.7% year-over-year, reflecting continued tourism and economic resilience. Whether envisioned as a flagship retail showroom, professional office, wellness center, or a combination of commercial and residential uses, this property delivers rare scale, frontage and flexibility in the heart of Sanibel. This is your chance to establish or expand a premier island business while owning multiple residential and income-producing assets on Sanibel's most important thoroughfare.
