Banyan Island at Grey Oaks: A Private Enclave of Waterfront Luxury Homes in Naples

Grey Oaks Melinda Gunther September 23, 2025

Tucked inside the prestigious gates of Grey Oaks Country Club, Banyan Island is one of Naples’ most exclusive neighborhoods. With just 26 custom estate homes surrounded by shimmering lakes and golf course vistas, Banyan Island offers privacy, sophistication, and timeless Florida living in the heart of Naples.

Located on Chinaberry Way and Chinaberry Court, nearly every residence in Banyan Island is lakefront, with broad southern exposures that maximize natural light and create the perfect setting for year-round outdoor entertaining. It is a neighborhood designed for those who want both elegance and serenity within a vibrant country club lifestyle.

Custom Estate Homes with Golf and Lake Views

Developed between 2000 and 2004, the estate homes in Banyan Island range from just over 3,400 square feet to more than 6,100 square feet of living space. Architectural styles are grand yet inviting, often featuring:

  • Elegant foyers and formal living rooms with soaring ceilings.

  • Gourmet kitchens designed for both functionality and entertaining.

  • Expansive lanai and pool areas that seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living.

  • Spacious owner’s suites with private sitting areas and zen bathrooms.

Every residence sits on an oversized lot, many framed by panoramic lakefront views and lush golf course fairways. With mature tropical landscaping and timeless design, Banyan Island homes are equally appealing as family estates, seasonal retreats, or full-time residences.
