Bokeelia, Florida

The Adam's Mound Estate is composed of THREE RESIDENCES on 7+ acres in the ancient Calusa Indian mound area of Pineland. The estate has two separate addresses (13841 and 13845 Robert Road). Scattered around the 7+ acres are various tropical plants: many varieties of palms and mangoes, sapodilla, ylang-ylang, papaya, carambola, avocado, sugar cane, bananas, passion fruit, dragon fruit, and various citrus varieties. There is a cypress slough, pond, artesian well, large brick patio area, and animal pen and fenced pasture which currently houses five goats and fourteen chickens. The two residences located at the 13841 Robert Road address are the main house and a guest cottage. The mound where these two structures are located is rumored to have been molded by Frank Adams in 1910 by pushing two mounds together. Frank Adams was in the coal mining business in the Midwest. He finished the main part of the two story house in 1911. The house is located on what is possibly the highest land point in Lee County. The main house is two stories with three bedrooms, a laundry room with washer and dryer, and a bathroom with separate shower and bathtub on the second floor. On the first floor is an open kitchen/ dining room, living room, office/bedroom, entry area with lots of shelving, bathroom with tub, and sunroom/bedroom. The upper cottage at 13841 Robert Road is a one bedroom split level residence. The bathroom has a tub with shower. The cottage is two rooms. Besides the lower level (3 steps down) bedroom, the other large room contains the kitchen with stove, refrigerator, sink and a living/ dining area. The cottage has a deck on both sides. The lower cottage at the 13845 Robert Road address has two bedrooms, a large living room with jalousie windows on three sides of the room, a dining/kitchen area and a storage room. A two car garage, a laundry room, and a room with a separate entrance currently used as a business showroom, are attached to the lower cottage residence. This property is subject to a conservation easement with the State of Florida and landowner compliance responsibilities convey with the property. See property supplements for more detail. The main house (The Adams House) is a designated historical building and subject to those rules and regulations.
