South Seas announces the successful acquisition of a 22-acre property, formerly owned by the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, that spans from beach to bay on Captiva Island.
South Seas purchased the property from the Foundation, which served as its owner following the 2008 passing of Robert Rauschenberg, the 20th-century American artist. The property, which runs along Laika Lane and Captiva Drive adjacent to South Seas and Captiva Village, includes 10 buildings and spans extensive waterfront footage along both the Gulf and Pine Island Sound.
The purchase is another joint venture between Timbers Company, Wheelock Street Capital and The Ronto Group, which purchased South Seas in 2021. While specific development plans have not yet been finalized for the recently purchased property, South Seas is exploring options that align with the reimagined resort. South Seas is also looking at ways to honor the legacy of Robert Rauschenberg and his visionary artistry as plans develop for the property.
The resort is also preparing to introduce a new luxury hotel as well as the Timbers Captiva Club & Residences at South Seas, a thoughtfully designed private residential experience. The unveiling is anticipated this summer at South Seas. Visit TimbersCaptiva.com for more information.
Presenting classic island charm, the 330-acre South Seas is nestled among mangroves with more than half of the resort a dedicated wildlife preserve and estuary. Visit SouthSeas.com for more information.
