Shadow Wood Preserve
Community Information
Charming, intimate and embraced by nature - this is Shadow Wood Preserve, a low-density community being developed by The Bonita Bay Group.

A private park on Mullock Creek with tennis, canoe/kayak launch, picnic pavilion and tot lot, a challenging fitness trail and miles of recreational trails that meander through the community, provide opportunities for residents to enjoy the natural surroundings.
For those who choose to join Shadow Wood Country Club, 54 holes of golf and all the amenities of a traditional country club await. The Commons Club offers additional social, cultural and life-long learning opportunities, and access to the Beach Club, nearby on Bonita Beach.
