Matera at Vasari Country Club is a 128-residence garden-condominium village offering lower-maintenance bundled-golf ownership within Vasari's private gated community in Bonita Springs, Florida.
Matera is organized into Matera I, Matera II, Matera III and Matera IV, with 32 residences in each condominium section. Approximately 16 low-rise buildings contain eight residences per building.
Homes occupy first- and second-floor positions and generally provide approximately 1,467 to 1,632 square feet of air-conditioned living area. Two-bedroom, two-bathroom and den or flexible-room configurations are represented throughout the village.
Matera also provides assigned covered parking, screened lanais, its own neighborhood swimming pool and spa, and golf, lake, preserve or landscaped views depending on the exact building position.
128 Condominiums • Matera I–IV • 32 Homes Per Section • Approx. 16 Buildings • 8 Homes Per Building • First- & Second-Floor Homes • Approx. 1,467–1,632 Sq. Ft. • Covered Parking • Pool & Spa • Golf, Lake & Preserve Views • Bundled Golf
Matera was created through four condominium sections rather than one declaration governing all 128 residences.
Matera I 32 condominium residences forming one of the village's original low-rise sections.
Matera II 32 additional residences using the same general two-story garden-condominium format.
Matera III 32 residences continuing Matera's first- and second-floor condominium design.
Matera IV 32 residences completing the 128-home Matera village.
Buyer due diligence: confirm Matera I, II, III or IV from the legal description and review the current governing documents, budget, reserves, insurance, meeting minutes and assessment information applying to that exact condominium section.
Eight-Residence Low-Rise Buildings
Matera uses two-story low-rise buildings containing approximately eight residences each.
The typical building places four condominiums on the first floor and four on the second floor, creating both end and middle positions on each level.
Unlike Firenze and Toscana carriage homes, Matera generally provides assigned covered carport parking rather than an attached private garage. This is an important distinction when comparing Vasari property types.
First-Floor vs. Second-Floor Matera Condos
First Floor Direct entry without stairs to the principal living level and a closer relationship with lawns, landscaping, lakes and preserves.
Second Floor Elevated positions can provide additional privacy, broader views and higher or vaulted ceiling effects in selected residences.
Accessibility Buyers planning long-term ownership should consider whether stair access fits present and future lifestyle needs.
View Elevation Upper positions can see above immediate landscaping toward golf, water or clubhouse-oriented scenery.
End Units vs. Middle Units
Building position creates another important Matera distinction.
End residences can provide additional windows, natural light and side exposure, while middle homes have different exterior-wall relationships and original layouts.
Matera comparison rule: compare the same floor level and end-or-middle building position before relying on a broad village-wide price-per-square-foot calculation.
Venezia & Umbria Floor Plans
Historical Vasari floor-plan material identifies Venezia and Umbria as important original Matera designs.
Venezia • Approx. 1,632 Sq. Ft. An original end-unit design with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, den or flexible space, screened lanai and covered parking.
Umbria • Approx. 1,616 Sq. Ft. An original middle-unit design with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, den or flexible space, screened lanai and covered parking.
Current property and MLS records can show living-area measurements that differ from the original brochure figures, including residences around approximately 1,467, 1,597 and 1,621 square feet.
The original plan should therefore be identified when possible, but current recorded living area and the actual residence should control comparable-sale analysis.
Matera Condo Sizes
Approx. 1,467 Sq. Ft. A documented smaller Matera configuration providing efficient two-bedroom condominium living.
Approx. 1,597–1,621 Sq. Ft. Common resale measurements include two-bedroom and two-bedroom-plus-den configurations in this range.
Approx. 1,616 Sq. Ft. The original Umbria middle-unit plan is documented near this air-conditioned living area.
Approx. 1,632 Sq. Ft. The original Venezia end-unit design and numerous Matera records fall near this size.
Two Bedrooms, Two Baths & Den Options
Most Matera residences are organized around two bedrooms and two full bathrooms.
Many also include a den, office or flexible room that can support remote work, seasonal guests, hobbies or secondary television space.
Split-bedroom arrangements are common and can provide greater separation between the primary suite and guest accommodations.
Because MLS systems sometimes classify dens differently, buyers should evaluate the actual floor plan instead of relying solely on the bedroom count appearing in a search result.
Covered Carport & Guest Parking
Matera generally uses assigned covered parking rather than the attached garages provided in Vasari's coach- and carriage-home villages.
A covered carport protects the primary vehicle from Southwest Florida sun and rain while maintaining Matera's compact garden-condominium building design.
Guest parking, additional vehicles and golf-cart storage should be verified for the exact residence and association before purchase.
Matera Neighborhood Pool & Spa
Matera provides its own neighborhood swimming pool and spa close to the condominium buildings.
This village-level recreation complements Vasari's broader Country Club facilities while allowing residents to enjoy swimming and relaxation without maintaining a private residential pool.
Building position relative to the neighborhood pool can be either a convenience benefit or a privacy consideration depending on individual preference.
Screened Lanais & Outdoor Living
Screened lanais extend Matera living areas toward golf, lake, preserve or landscaped views.
Both the Venezia and Umbria designs incorporated screened outdoor living, and resale properties continue to emphasize the lanai as an important part of the Matera lifestyle.
Buyers should compare rear exposure, view permanence, privacy, screening condition, flooring and hurricane protection.
Golf, Lake & Preserve Views
Golf Views Selected buildings overlook Vasari's golf course and provide broad green-space scenery.
Lake Views Waterfront positions can provide substantial visual depth and increased separation from surrounding buildings.
Lake-to-Golf Views Some Matera residences combine water with golf or clubhouse-oriented scenery for a layered outlook.
Preserve Views Natural vegetation can provide privacy and a quieter screened-lanai setting.
Permanent-value principle: countertops, flooring and appliances can be changed. Floor level, end-unit position, lake width, golf relationship, preserve orientation and rear exposure cannot simply be recreated.
Southern and western exposures can provide more afternoon and seasonal sun, while eastern exposure can favor morning light and additional afternoon shade.
Trees, adjacent buildings, lake width and first- versus second-floor position should be considered together with compass direction.
Matera Construction Era & Building Design
Matera was developed primarily during approximately 2004 through 2006.
The village uses low-rise concrete-block and stucco construction with tile roofs and Mediterranean-influenced styling consistent with Vasari's original community architecture.
Because Matera is now an established condominium village, buyers should evaluate both the interior residence and the association-controlled building components.
Renovated vs. More Original Matera Condos
Matera interiors range from residences retaining more of their original early-2000s finishes to extensively remodeled homes.
Kitchen Compare cabinetry, countertops, appliances, backsplash, lighting and storage.
Bathrooms Review showers, tubs, vanities, plumbing fixtures and tile.
Flooring Evaluate material, installation and any association requirements applying to upper-floor hard surfaces.
HVAC Confirm equipment age, service history and replacement documentation.
Water Heater Review age, location, capacity and replacement history.
Matera includes four condominium sections within Vasari's broader master-community structure.
A buyer should confirm the exact legal association applying to the residence rather than assuming all four sections have identical documents or financial information.
Review the current condominium declaration, budget, reserves, insurance, recent meeting minutes, assessments and property-specific estoppel before closing.
Association vs. Owner Responsibilities
Matera condominium ownership divides maintenance responsibilities between the condominium association and individual owner.
Current documents should be used to verify responsibility for roofs, exterior walls, structural components, landscaping, irrigation, windows, entry doors, screened lanais, carports, plumbing lines and owner-installed improvements.
An MLS maintenance description is useful for orientation but should not substitute for the governing documents.
Roofs, Exterior Painting & Capital Projects
Roof and exterior-building condition can represent significant condominium capital obligations.
When newer roofing, exterior painting or another major building project has been completed, buyers should verify the specific buildings involved, completion dates, warranties, funding method and whether additional work remains planned.
Matera Reserves, Insurance & Assessments
Reserve Funding Compare current reserve balances with anticipated roofing, painting and common-area needs.
Master Insurance Understand building coverage, deductibles, exclusions and individual-owner obligations.
Roof History Confirm project dates, repairs, warranties and future replacement planning.
Exterior Painting Determine the most recent painting cycle and anticipated future maintenance.
Special Assessments Confirm paid, approved, proposed and actively discussed assessments.
Meeting Minutes Review current discussions involving insurance, reserves, maintenance and capital projects.
Matera Condominium Insurance
Matera buyers should evaluate both the condominium association's master insurance and the individual owner policy appropriate for the residence.
Interior improvements, personal property, liability, water damage, loss-assessment exposure and master-policy deductibles can materially affect individual coverage needs.
A current insurance professional should review the exact residence and association master policy during due diligence.
Hurricane Protection
Storm protection varies because Matera owners have upgraded residences at different times.
Buyers should verify windows, entry doors and sliding-glass doors serving the screened lanai.
Impact-rated openings, shutters and other owner-installed protection should be reviewed for permit history and required association approval where applicable.
Flood & Building-Level Due Diligence
Matera's golf and lake settings do not establish one flood-insurance conclusion for all 128 condominiums.
Buyers should verify current flood information, lender requirements and insurance implications for the exact building and residence.
Second-floor ownership can reduce some direct interior exposure while still sharing financial responsibility for common building components through the condominium association.
Bundled Golf With Matera Ownership
Matera participates in Vasari Country Club's bundled-golf ownership structure.
Residential ownership connects Matera owners with Vasari's private golf, practice facilities, dining, fitness, swimming, court sports and social programming under current Club rules.
Current dues, capital obligations, transfer charges, cart arrangements, guest privileges and other Club requirements should be verified before purchase.
Vasari Championship Golf & Aqua Driving Range
Vasari's private golf program centers on an 18-hole championship-length course integrated among lakes, landscaped terrain and residential villages.
The practice complex includes the distinctive 300-yard Aqua Driving Range together with putting, chipping and bunker practice areas.
Matera can appeal to seasonal owners because it combines condominium maintenance, covered parking, neighborhood swimming, manageable residence sizes and bundled Country Club access.
Buyers considering rental use should verify the current minimum lease period, permitted annual rental frequency, application procedures and Club-membership transfer requirements.
Current pet provisions should also be reviewed when the purchase depends on the number, type or size of permitted animals.
How Matera Condos Should Be Valued
Matera valuation sequence: Matera I / II / III / IV → first or second floor → end or middle position → Venezia / Umbria or closest documented plan → recorded living area → golf / lake / preserve view → rear exposure → renovation → covered parking → storm protection → association financial condition → closest relevant Matera comparable sales.
Because floor level, end-unit position, recorded size, permanent view and renovation differ significantly, one broad Matera average should not replace residence-specific analysis.
Changing active inventory, pending contracts and recently closed transactions belong in the Vasari Country Club Market Report and live Matera MLS search rather than being permanently hard-coded into this evergreen guide.
What Matera Buyers Should Review
Legal Condominium Confirm Matera I, II, III or IV from the legal description.
Floor Level Determine whether first-floor access or elevated second-floor living better fits long-term needs.
End or Middle Position Compare windows, natural light, side exposure and original floor-plan differences.
Recorded Living Area Confirm current air-conditioned square footage before selecting comparable properties.
Permanent View Evaluate golf position, lake width, preserve depth and surrounding buildings.
Lanai Review rear exposure, screening, flooring, privacy and storm protection.
Mechanical Systems Review HVAC, water heater, appliances and other major interior components.
Association Finances Review budgets, reserves, insurance, assessments and recent meeting minutes.
Building Condition Confirm roofing, exterior painting and planned capital projects.
Bundled Golf Review current Club obligations, transfer procedures and cart arrangements.
Comparable Sales Begin with the closest Matera floor level, position, size and permanent view.
Selling a Matera Condo
Matera sellers should market the exact condominium configuration rather than relying only on the Vasari Country Club name.
Marketing should identify Matera section, first- or second-floor position, end or middle location, original plan when known, recorded living area, den or flexible room, permanent view, rear exposure, covered parking and meaningful renovations.
Completed association improvements such as roofing, exterior painting or other capital projects should be documented when they strengthen the residence's financial profile.
