About this home
This oversized cul-de-sac lot has just been cleared and is currently permitted and the slab has been poured. In addition a new 275 foot seawall has also been completed along with a dock and 10,000 lb boat lift. This lot is ready for your new home plans or use the existing plans that have been permitted and approved. Plans with existing builder can be taken over if desired or design your own home with your builder. Your back yard has south west exposure and plenty of room for 1 more boat lift if desired. Currently permitted for a 3700 square foot 4 bedroom 4 bath home. Don't miss this homesite with close proximity to the north village and all that Siesta Key has to offer. The last picture shows the proposed home that is permitted. This could also be changed.
Local Insight
At $1.95M for a 0.35-acre waterfront lot in Sara Sands, you're paying premium pricing for direct water access in Sarasota, but the AE flood zone designation means serious elevation requirements and flood insurance costs that will significantly impact your build budget and long-term carrying costs. The narrow lot size limits design flexibility, so you'll want to verify what the actual buildable footprint is once you account for setbacks and any wetland buffers—waterfront parcels often look bigger on paper than they build in reality. This is a buy-the-view-and-location play, not a value buy, so make sure your financing and construction timeline account for the flood mitigation expenses upfront.
