About the property
Sunlit 2-Bed Villa with Extended Lanai and Solar Lease
Approach this villa and the screened front entry invites you into a home designed around easy Florida living and quiet preserve views. Built in 2017 and impeccably maintained, this 2-bedroom plus den, 2-bath floorplan stretches 1,519 square feet across a single level with a two-car garage and thoughtful details throughout. The den adds flexible space for a home office, hobby room, or guest lounge without interrupting the primary living areas.
The heart of the home is arranged for socializing: the kitchen opens to dining and living areas so hosts can stay part of the conversation while preparing meals. Sliding glass doors extend the footprint to an oversized, screened lanai that faces a private preserve — an ideal spot for morning reading, afternoon card games, or evening cocktails with friends. Manual hurricane shutters on the patio and doors provide straightforward protection when needed, while the LOMR determination means flood insurance is not required for this home.
A standout practical feature is the solar array with an assumable lease maintained by the leasing company. That arrangement contributes to an average total electric cost of approximately $124 per month (including the lease payment), lowering operating costs and supporting more sustainable living without extra maintenance responsibility for the homeowner.
Living in The Cascades at River Hall places you in one of Southwest Florida’s most active 55+ communities. Residents enjoy low HOA fees that cover lawn care, landscaping, irrigation, cable, and internet—freeing up weekends for the clubhouse calendar of social events. Resort-style amenities include a heated pool and spa, outdoor grilling areas, fitness center, and courts for pickleball, tennis, and bocce ball. The community is pet-friendly, and the preserve-facing setting gives this villa a rare blend of convenience, privacy, and active-adult lifestyle perks.
This home shows like a model and offers immediate move-in readiness for buyers seeking value in a maintenance-light package. With practical upgrades, appealing outdoor living, and energy-efficient solar in place, this villa is a compelling option for buyers wanting an active, social retirement lifestyle in Alva.

Editorial market perspective
This listing is competitively positioned at the Redfin-derived midpoint valuation of $275,000 (price per sq. ft. approximately $181), which aligns with the broker list price. With a confidence score of 0.65 on the automated estimate, the price reflects current appetite for move-in-ready 55+ villas in Southwest Florida. Active-adult properties like this one tend to move briskly because resale inventory in gated, amenity-rich communities is typically limited; that dynamic often creates a balanced-to-seller-leaning submarket for well-priced, turnkey homes. Key value drivers here include the assumable solar lease—reducing monthly energy expense to roughly $124—and the LOMR determination that removes the requirement for flood insurance, both meaningful long-term cost advantages for buyers. For buyers, timing is favorable if you prioritize low-maintenance living, energy savings, and immediate access to community amenities; for sellers, properly marketed homes with upgrades and private preserve views remain highly attractive to an active-adult buyer pool.
