More than 104 acres of recreation and open space at the former Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club’s golf course will be forever preserved.

The 104.6-acre easement, representing 84% of the 125-acre property, was recorded by the city Oct. 29 and was the culmination of a collaboration between the city of Naples, Naples Beach Club, The Athens Group and nonprofit North American Land Trust, which has completed more than 600 conservation easements nationwide. It was executed by Mayor Teresa Heitmann and Jay Newman of The Athens Group, the Phoenix-based developer.

“There’s a lot of work and a lot of effort that goes into getting things through the process and making sure that it’s right,” City Manager Jay Boodheshwar told Council at its Nov. 6 meeting.
