About Wildcat Run
Wildcat Run is a gated community of 409 homes in Estero, built around Wildcat Run Golf & Country Club — an 18-hole championship golf course. Day to day, the nearest golf course, Wildcat Run Golf & Country Club, is about 0.1 miles straight-line from the community's center; the nearest library, South County Regional Library, is about 2.5 miles away; the nearest hospital, Lee Health Coconut Point, about 4.7 miles.
Amenities — private club and community amenities centered on the Wildcat Run Golf & Country Club (amenity list compiled from the club's and community materials and market descriptions, so confirm current amenities and membership terms with the club/association) — include Wildcat Run Golf & Country Club — an 18-hole championship golf course, a clubhouse with dining, a resort-style pool, tennis courts, a fitness center, bocce, a gated entry.
On paper, the community sits in evacuation zone D. The average assessed just value across its 460 residential parcels was $639,422 in the county's 2026 roll.
Wildcat Run reads as a single name on a listing, but on the county map it is an umbrella of several platted neighborhoods — Lakeside Villas, Village, Cypress Bend and Cypress Cove at Wildcat Run — that together account for about 409 homes, roughly 311 single-family and 98 multifamily. All of them sit behind one gated entry in the Village of Estero, in Lee County, and answer to a single master association, Wildcat Run Community Association, Inc. (managed by Alliant Property Management). That is the first thing worth untangling, because the golf club that gives the community its name is a legally separate organization — the Wildcat Run Country Club — not the same body that governs the homes.
That separation matters most when you weigh golf. Because the course, clubhouse and dining are operated by the club rather than the residential association, membership terms — whether golf access comes with a home, what it includes, and any dues — vary by plan and are not something a listing can settle for you. Confirm the current structure directly with the club before assuming anything. On the recurring-cost side, Wildcat Run carries no community development district: the sampled 2025 tax bill shows a single non-ad-valorem line, a Lee County Solid Waste assessment of about $366, rather than the multi-thousand-dollar CDD charge common in newer Estero communities.
A few practical notes. The homes here were built largely between 1989 and 2007, so expect an established rather than brand-new neighborhood, developed beginning in the mid-1980s around the golf course. The community sits in evacuation zone D — worth checking against the county's current map — and fixed internet ranges from Xfinity fiber to fixed-wireless options, so verify service at a specific address. Treat this page as an independent, records-based starting point, not affiliated with the HOA, club or developer, and confirm current dues, membership terms and rules directly with the association and club.
