A prime location, luxurious lifestyle and top-quality homes define what living is all about in Treviso Bay. Just minutes from the highlife of downtown Naples, this 1,050-acre secluded community offers a wide range of home styles by several of the area’s most respected and experienced builders. Neighboring the Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, Treviso Bay’s distinctive neighborhoods and golf course have been sculpted into a one of a kind setting to surround residents with natural beauty and provide all the desirable luxuries at their doorstep.
From Treviso Bay’s signature entry bridge, cross into a private world adorned with grand architecture, lush colorful landscaping, regal fountains, and inviting water features. Offering the only Southwest Florida PGA Tour Tournament Player’s Club (TPC), the 18-hole golf course designed by architect, Arthur Hills, with Ryder Cup Captain, Hall Sutton as player consultant, is intended to extend the very best golfing experience. Treviso Bay also holds the honor of being home to the PGA Tour’s Champions Tour ACE Group Classic.
For your luxury living options, renowned builders such as McGarvey Custom Homes, Gulfshore Homes, Harwick Homes, Taylor Morrison, and R&D Companies have furnished models, decorator ready homes, or can build the custom home of your dreams on one of the large estate lots with lake and preserve views.
The natural beauty of the adjacent Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve is unequalled. Comprised of 110,000 acres of coastal lands and waters, the Reserve is managed by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Office of Coastal and Aquatic Managed Areas. It is one of the few remaining undisturbed mangrove estuaries in North America and Treviso Bay greatly benefits from this unique environment.
For a day or night out on the town, there is nothing that compares to downtown Naples. Quaint streets are lined with unique boutiques, cafes and upscale restaurants with outdoor seating, art galleries and gift shops. Cambier Park holds free outdoor concerts, and the von Liebig Center Art Center presents traveling photography and art exhibitions.
For the outdoor enthusiasts, Naples and the surrounding area offer a plethora of exciting activities. Laze around on sun-kissed beaches of the Gulf of Mexico, take a leisurely boat ride, or take the anglers approach and try your hand at deepwater fishing. Marco Island is only eight miles south and offers its own vibrant waterfront shopping and entertainment district.
