Listing description
Set on more than two gated acres of 100 percent uplands in Golden Gate Estates, Sapphire Estate combines distinctive architecture with expansive indoor and outdoor living spaces. A signature blue roof defines the single-story residence, while an automatic entrance gate, circular driveway and covered porte-cochère complement the property's setting. Encompassing 2,574 square feet of living space, the home features three bedrooms, a den, three full baths and one half bath. Vaulted ceilings, French doors and chandelier lighting accentuate the open floor plan, creating a natural connection between the interior living areas. The kitchen is appointed with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas cooktop, walk-in pantry and eat-in dining area. A new air-conditioning system installed in 2025 and a multi-stage water filtration system provide additional functionality. Beyond the French doors, a screened lanai surrounds a saltwater pool featuring a shallow wading area and integrated water feature. Mature fruit trees enhance the grounds, while a 46-by-18-foot covered recreational vehicle parking area with electrical hookup accommodates additional vehicle or boat storage. With its gated acreage, architectural character and outdoor amenities, Sapphire Estate presents a distinctive residential offering in Naples Golden Gate Estates.

Property taxes for a new owner
On the county’s 2026 roll, the seller’s bill is about $6,000, lower because of a homestead exemption and a capped assessment, which end when the home sells.
If you make this home your primary residence, a homestead exemption would lower this figure. If you have also had a Florida homestead in any of the last three years, you may be able to carry up to $500,000 of its capped-value savings to this home, which Florida calls “portability.” Both are applied for with the Property Appraiser by March 1.
How a new owner’s property taxes are set is explained in the Costs & Taxes chapter of the 2027 Naples Buyer’s Guide.
Estimated from the Collier County Property Appraiser’s 2026 value of this home and its tax rate, plus its 2025 charges not based on value from the Collier County Tax Collector’s roll. The county sets a new value each January 1, so a new owner’s first full bill can differ.

Flood zones & evacuation
Two different things, measured by two different agencies. Evacuation zones are about storm surge and who leaves first. Flood zones are FEMA’s insurance rating, and they vary from home to home.
Zone E Collier
Called in the fifth wave, for stronger storms.
Mostly Zone X (minimal)
Minimal mapped flood hazard
The building is outside the Special Flood Hazard Area. Part of it lies in another zone.
FEMA flood maps and Collier County Emergency Management. A revised Collier County flood map is in preparation and may change these zones.
Flood zones, evacuation, and insurance are explained in the Risk, Resilience & Insurance chapter of the 2027 Naples Buyer’s Guide.
