Bonita Bay is set among an alluring expanse of acreage along Estero Bay, and the majority of this has been left in its natural pristine state. The dense oak and pine preserves, waterways and lakes impart a measure of rustic beauty largely unrivaled by any other community. Bonita Bay emerged through the vision of the late David Shakirian (founder of General Nutrition Centers, aka GNC). At the time, Shakirian embraced an idea that homes should be blended in harmoniously with natural elements, an idea that was very different from conventional development practices that typically involved stripping out trees and preserves. Development of Bonita Bay ultimately led to its national distinction as America’s leading master-planned community and today, numerous other neighborhoods throughout Southwest Florida have attempted to emulate this community’s unique development approach and ambiance. Be assured, they are merely copies of what remains the outstanding original and remarkable residential enclave of Bonita Springs. For home buyers, there are great options in single-family homes, villas, coach & carriage-style residences and luxury condominiums.
