Engel & Völkers Florida today announced that MLB star Josh Donaldson's estate in Fort Myers is now on the market, listed for $3.2 million. Represented by Susan Christiano of Engel & Völkers Fort Myers Downtown, this luxurious property offers an unparalleled living experience in one of southwest Florida's most desirable communities. Exclusive open house events will be hosted and an on-site advisor is available four days a week for private showings.

“This home beautifully combines contemporary and traditional architectural elements, showcasing high-end finishes and state-of-the-art amenities,” said Christiano. “The ideal buyer for this property is one who values a tranquil, private setting and a family-friendly neighborhood. The home's elegant design and proximity to outdoor recreational areas make it perfect for those seeking both luxury and convenience.”

The estate is located at 15631 Old Wedgewood Court in Devonwood Estates, a private community with only 55 custom single-family residences on expansive lots. Donaldson was in good company, as the neighborhood is home to many influential individuals in Southwest Florida. Residents enjoy amenities such as a boat launch with direct access to the Gulf of Mexico, watercraft storage, tennis and basketball courts and a five-acre stocked lake.

“Josh has embraced a new chapter in his life after retiring from professional baseball in March,” said Christiano. “Married in January, he is excited to spend quality time with his family. His ownership adds a unique charm, and his impressive career brings a sense of prestige to the property.”

Donaldson, a distinguished former professional baseball third baseman, boasts a storied 13-year career in MLB, showcasing his prowess with teams like the Oakland Athletics, Toronto Blue Jays, Cleveland Indians, Atlanta Braves, Minnesota Twins, New York Yankees, and Milwaukee Brewers. Notable for his versatility and power at the plate, he earned acclaim as an All-Star and was crowned the American League's Most Valuable Player in 2015 during his tenure with the Blue Jays.

“Working with high-profile properties like Josh Donaldson's estate underscores Engel & Völkers' commitment to attracting affluent clients and delivering exceptional real estate services,” said Peter Giese, CEO of Engel & Völkers Florida. “Our brand's reputation for excellence and personalized client experience allows us to meet the unique needs of high-net-worth individuals, ensuring their properties receive the attention and expertise they deserve.”

This isn't the first collaboration between Engel & Völkers and Donaldson. In 2021, Kristin Hallamek, an advisor with Engel & Völkers Belleair, represented the listing of his Tampa home. She sold 4931 W. San Rafael Street for $3,283,500.

The estate showcases a wealth of luxurious amenities, from natural stone countertops to custom moldings, and an upgraded Sub-Zero refrigerator paired with a Wolf gas stove. Notable additions include a Kinetico water filtration system, Miele Coffee system, and a 1,000-gallon buried propane tank. Inside, plantation shutters, custom walk-in closets, and recessed halogen lighting enhance the ambiance, while a Control4 audio/video/security system ensures modern convenience. Outside, the spacious area boasts a saltwater pool and spa, complemented by an outdoor kitchen and a pristine travertine pool deck.
