LABELLE, FLA. (April 2, 2026) — An Old Florida river estate with more than 400 feet of frontage along the Caloosahatchee River has entered the market at 620 East Fort Thompson Avenue for $2,475,000, marking the highest-priced residential listing in Hendry County. If sold at or near asking, it could represent a record-breaking sale for the county. The property is marketed exclusively by Lauren Wittman and Justin Falta, global real estate advisors with Premier Sotheby’s International Realty. View the listing here. Originally established as a homestead around 1950, the estate has had only two owners since 1969. It was long owned by the L.J. Nobles family, recognized as a Pioneer Family by the LaBelle Swamp Cabbage Festival for their contributions to the region’s agricultural heritage. In 1987, the home was remodeled with architectural elements influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired design, including the addition of a primary suite and saltwater pool. Since acquiring the property in 2016, the current owners have completed a comprehensive renovation while maintaining the residence’s historical character. A detached guest suite adds further distinction. Originally relocated from Immokalee as an anniversary gift, the structure began as an art house and has since been converted into a French country-style guest retreat. With over 400 feet of river frontage, the property is currently the largest riverfront offering in the area. Positioned along the Caloosahatchee River, part of the well-traveled Great Loop route, the estate blends generational history with notable waterfront scale. QUOTE: “Opportunities that combine this level of history, river frontage and market significance are exceptionally rare in Hendry County,” said Lauren Wittman and Justin Falta, global real estate advisors, Premier Sotheby’s International Realty. “This property represents both a generational legacy and a milestone moment for the LaBelle market.” About Premier Sotheby’s International Realty Headquartered in Naples, Florida, Premier Sotheby’s International Realty has over 1,400 global advisors in 40 locations throughout Florida and North Carolina.
