About this home
Tucked along one of Longboat Key’s most peaceful and naturally beautiful streets is 681 Gulf Bay Road, a 9,000-square-foot homesite. Positioned just moments from Sarasota Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, this prime island lot offers the rare opportunity to design and build a custom coastal home in a location where nature, privacy, and convenience coexist effortlessly. Set on a quiet residential street bordered by the 32-acre Joan M. Durante Park, this property offers immediate access to shaded walking trails, mangrove boardwalks, bayfront docks, and daily wildlife sightings. With deeded access to both the beach and the bay, you are within easy reach of Longboat Key’s white sand beaches and tranquil bay waters. At the entrance to the street, iconic island favorites like Euphemia Haye and The Haye Loft make impromptu dinners and sunset cocktails delightfully effortless. The lot provides flexibility for a thoughtfully designed primary residence or second home, with space for elevated construction, a private pool, outdoor entertaining areas, and lush tropical landscaping. Located between Anna Maria Island and St. Armands Circle, you’ll enjoy the perfect balance of quiet island living and access to shopping, dining, boating, and cultural attractions in Sarasota.
