The Bonita Springs community has three Arthur Hills-designed courses within its 2,400 acres, and two Tom-Fazio courses provide a pure golf experience nearby. The High-Rises at Bonita Bay not only offer a bird’s-eye view of several fairways – as well as Estero Bay and the Gulf of Mexico – but also provide a low-maintenance lifestyle that frees time to spend on the links.
Travel + Leisure Golf has included Bonita Bay on its list of the top 100 golf communities in America for the past four years, and Links Magazine has named it one of America’s premier properties each year since 2006.
Nongolfers love Bonita Bay, too.
Bordered by water on three sides, Bonita Bay is a paradise for canoers, kayakers and anglers. The full-service marina, with storage for more than 400 boats, provides direct access to the Gulf of Mexico. A 12-mile network of biking and walking paths connects Bonita Bay’s three waterfront parks, and a shuttle carries residents to a Gulfside beach park, reserved exclusively for them.
Bonita Bay Club’s tennis program is directed by a United States Professional Tennis Association master professional and is headquartered in the 18-Har-Tru-court tennis and swim center. Next door is the 10,000-square-foot fitness center, with a full range of workout equipment, a variety of classes and even spa services.
The Lutgert Companies has pushed luxury living to a new level with The High-Rises at Bonita Bay, with spacious homes, opulent finishes and amenities that rival world-class resorts. Lagoon-style pools are surrounded by tropical landscaping, sunning decks and screened cabanas with wet bars and grills. Indoors, state-of-the-art fitness centers, clubrooms with bars and catering kitchens, card and billiard rooms and mini-theaters provide comfortable spaces for relaxing or entertaining, and designer-furnished suites accommodate overnight guests.
Those who appreciate value also love Bonita Bay. For a limited time, Bonita Bay Group, developer of the 25-year-old community, is underwriting club membership incentives for those purchasing new high-rise residences from The Lutgert Companies by March 15, 2009.

Several other furnished residences allow visitors to imagine themselves enjoying the high-rise lifestyle and expose the views from various floors of the 27-story building, which is bordered by a nature preserve and the ninth green of the Bay Island golf course. The high-rises are designed for maximum privacy and views, and spacious, varied floor plans offer flexible interiors.
The Lutgert Companies planned Esperia South to make life as carefree and convenient as possible. The lobby is staffed by a management assistant, and the manager in residence provides peace of mind for traveling residents. Four designer-furnished guest suites, each with a poolside terrace, are available for overnight visitors. The building has an electronic, controlled-access entry system, an automated car rinse and an innovative high-rise trash-sorting system that is accessed from each floor to electronically separate refuse and recyclables.
