Property Description
An increasingly rare opportunity awaits to secure one of the Gulf Coast's most exceptional direct waterfront parcels and design your legacy coastal estate on prestigious Manasota Key. Spanning a generous .44 acres, this premier homesite boasts an impressive 148 feet of direct Gulf frontage and a 152-foot depth, offering the rare scale, privacy, and flexibility required to execute an architectural masterpiece.
This property also features a prized bayside easement with warranty-deeded ingress and egress, providing exclusive access to the island's tranquil bayside where buyers may wish to explore future waterfront improvements (dock and lift may be possible) with the appropriate governing authorities. Framed by panoramic, unobstructed azure views and legendary nightly sunsets, the expansive footprint invites limitless architectural creativity. Whether your vision is a striking contemporary glass sanctuary or a timeless British West Indies estate, the lot's dimensions easily accommodate a grand multi-level residence paired with resort-inspired outdoor living, including elevated terraces, a sleek infinity pool and spa retreat, lush tropical landscaping, and a secure, gated entrance with ample guest parking.
The site is uniquely prepared for immediate luxury development, featuring a premium, reinforced concrete seawall installed in 2023, an active water meter already in place, and an approximate land elevation of six feet.
Zoned RE2 with no mandatory HOA or CDD fees, this remarkable homesite offers total freedom to design entirely to your lifestyle, while also allowing for flexible monthly minimum rentals should that be desired long into the future. With a maximum building coverage allowance of approximately 25%, a 4,500+ square-foot, three-story luxury residence can easily be achieved.
A custom design within this footprint could seamlessly incorporate several ground-level garages, an elevated primary living level, and sophisticated guest accommodations. Because pools, decks, and open outdoor entertaining spaces do not count toward coverage limits, your exterior amenities can be as grand as the home itself. Approximate setbacks, which buyers should verify alongside Coastal Construction Control Line guidelines for optimal placement, are 25 feet front, 10 feet on each side, 20 feet rear, and 20 feet from the mean high-water line along the Gulf, with a maximum height allowance of 35 feet.
Embrace the laid-back, sophisticated rhythm of exclusive island living on Manasota Key, a community that beautifully balances privacy with cultural and social connection. Cultivate inspiration just down the road at the historic Hermitage Artist's Retreat, a world-class incubator for renowned global artists across all mediums. For exceptional resort-style amenities, owners have the option to join the nearby Manasota Key Club at 7660 Manasota Key Road, which features a vibrant social calendar, private beach access, walking trails, a pristine pool, tennis, pickleball, bocce ball, croquet, and an exquisite onsite fine dining restaurant.
Conceptual home elevations and architectural inspirations are available upon request, and discerning buyers are invited to inquire with the listing agent for exclusive details on this rare coastal offering.
