Get every Isles of Collier Preserve sale from the last 12 months →The Isles of Collier Preserve is built around the outdoors — more than half the land is left as lakes, nature preserve, and protected habitat in one of Naples’ most distinctive communities: a gated, roughly 2,400-acre master plan by Minto Communities just southeast of downtown. The result is a quiet, low-density, coastal-contemporary neighborhood wrapped around water and wilderness rather than a golf course.
The land was originally the 1986-approved “Sabal Bay” plan (4,000 units and a golf course); Minto acquired it in 2013 and reworked it into a deliberately environmentally responsible community. Today it’s 1,825 coastal-inspired homes — cottages, paired villas, coach homes, and single-family residences from roughly 1,500 to 3,900+ square feet — many along the Cypress Waterway.
The signature is the outdoors: about 8 miles of kayak and hiking/biking trails, a kayak launch onto the Cypress Waterway that connects toward Naples Bay, and an Isles Club whose architecture is a tribute to the original 1880s Naples Beach Hotel. Minto sold its final new home in March 2026, so it’s now a pure resale market — with an owner-controlled board (since December 2024) and, notably, no CDD.
Lower-maintenance attached homes — the entry point — roughly 1,600–2,960 sq ft, some with two-car garages and private elevators.
Coastal-contemporary single-family residences up to about 3,900 sq ft, many on lake, preserve, or Cypress Waterway views.
Life at the Isles of Collier Preserve is built around the outdoors rather than a clubhouse calendar. Residents kayak and paddleboard the Cypress Waterway, walk and bike the eight-mile trail network, and watch for wading birds and wildlife across the preserve — an unusually natural setting this close to downtown Naples.
The social heart is the Isles Club: a resort-style pool with private cabanas, a lap pool, a fitness and wellness center, and tennis, pickleball, and bocce, plus an event courtyard — and the residents-only Overlook Bar & Grill on the Cypress Waterway, the amenity listings name more than any other. The architecture, echoing the historic Naples Beach Hotel, gives the community an Old-Florida, coastal feel.
It suits buyers who want brand-quality, lower-maintenance coastal homes, a strong sense of nature and privacy, and a location minutes from Old Naples, the beaches, and Marco — without golf, high-rises, or mega-density.
With Minto’s final new home sold in March 2026, the Isles of Collier Preserve is now a pure resale market — and a softer, more selective one than the 2021–early-2023 frenzy. Inventory has risen, many listings have trimmed their asking prices (reductions of roughly 4–5% off original list are common), and active homes are sitting longer — on the order of 90–120 days for resale listings. For buyers, it’s one of the more negotiable windows the community has seen. As of 2026 · verify against current listings.
As of mid-2026 there are roughly 67 homes active, from about $525K for attached villas and coach homes up to about $4.4M for single-family and estate homes (Nevis Way), with an average asking price near $1.5M. It’s really two submarkets: lower-maintenance attached homes at the entry, and single-family residences — many on lake, preserve, or Cypress Waterway views — above them.
On the closed-sale side, pricing has cooled from the 2024 highs: late-2025 blended median sale prices ran around $950K (roughly $520/sq ft), versus 2024 full-year averages near $2.3M for single-family homes and about $867K for villas. Views, product type, and condition drive big per-home differences, so lean on recent closed comps rather than list prices. I’ll pull exact current numbers for any home type. Verify all figures against current MLS data.
Dues typically cover:Isles Club, resort pools, fitness, kayak/paddle launch, miles of trails, gate & landscape
Approximate, as of June 2026; varies by home type and sub-association — a comparison aid, not a quote. Excludes property tax, insurance, and utilities. Always verify exact numbers per home.
| Check this | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| HOA dues vary by product type | Approved 2026 dues run roughly $1,764–$2,250/quarter depending on the home type, and coach homes carry an additional condo-association fee on top of the master assessment. Get the exact current figures for the specific home and building. |
| Resale-only pricing & price cuts | With the builder sold out in March 2026, some sellers list aggressively and then reduce — cuts of about 4–5% off original list have been common. Anchor your offer to recent closed comps, not to asking prices. |
| View & lot premiums | Cypress Waterway, lake, and preserve lots command real premiums over interior lots. Confirm exactly what view you are paying for and how it compares to recent sales. |
| No CDD — but confirm the budget | Minto self-funded the infrastructure, so there is no CDD line on the tax bill (a genuine plus). The board has been owner-controlled since December 2024 — review the current operating budget and reserves before you buy. |
| Flood zone & insurance | This is a low-lying South Naples community near water; verify the parcel’s FEMA flood zone, elevation, and a real insurance quote per address before relying on any estimate. |
| Rental & pet rules | If leasing or pets matter, confirm the minimum-lease term, approval process, and pet limits in the current governing documents. |

Minto Communities. Minto acquired the property (originally the 1986-approved “Sabal Bay” plan, which had included a golf course) in 2013 and reworked it into a nature-first, environmentally responsible community, opening models within about a year.
No. Unlike the original Sabal Bay plan, Minto’s community has no golf course — it’s built around nature, water, and the Isles Club instead. That means no golf dues and no bundled membership.
Yes — it’s the community’s signature. There are about 8 miles of kayak and hiking/biking trails, and a kayak/paddleboard launch onto the Cypress Waterway, which winds toward Naples Bay. More than half the community is left as lakes, preserve, and protected habitat.
A resort-style pool with private cabanas, a lap pool, a 3,000-square-foot fitness center, tennis, pickleball, bocce, an event courtyard, and the residents-only Overlook Bar & Grill on the Cypress Waterway. The clubhouse design is a tribute to the 1880s Naples Beach Hotel.
Cottages, paired villas, coach homes, and single-family residences from roughly 1,500 to 3,900+ square feet, in a coastal-contemporary style. Minto sold its final new home in March 2026, completing the community at 1,825 homes — so it’s now a pure resale market. I can send current listings and recent sales for any home type.
It spans two submarkets. Attached villas and coach homes generally start around the low-to-mid $500Ks, while single-family and estate homes run into the low millions — up to about $4M+ on Nevis Way. Late-2025 blended median sale prices were around $950K (roughly $520 per square foot), down from 2024, when single-family homes averaged near $2.3M and villas near $867K. As of mid-2026 it’s a resale-only, buyer-friendlier market with roughly 67 homes active — verify current listings and recent closings for any specific home type.
Your kayak goes in at the community launch and the Cypress Waterway does the rest, winding toward Naples Bay past the community’s 1,200-plus acres of lakes and preserve. Back on land it’s laps in the lap pool at the Isles Club, lunch at the residents-only Overlook Bar & Grill right on the waterway, and the evening walk covers one small stretch of the eight miles of trails. Could you see yourself here?
I’ll set up a saved search, send the homes that actually fit, and walk you through fees, flood, and resale before you commit. Explain everything, sell nothing.
