Galt Preserve is located at 3661 Stringfellow Road, St. James City, Florida on
Pine Island within Sections 34 and 35, Township 45 South, Range 22 East. GP
is located approximately 7 miles south of Pine Island Center and 1 mile north of
St. James City. Currently, there are three addresses listed by the Lee
County Property Appraiser for GP because of the separate STRAP numbers.
To simplify matters and since the public access will not be on Galt Island Ave., the Stringfellow Road address will
be used. |
