About this home
A 2-minute walk across your private footbridge to secluded beach access, this 12,684-square-foot property in Heron Lagoon presents a rare opportunity to own in one of Siesta Key’s most intimate waterfront communities. The existing residence offers the potential to renovate or personalize, all while enjoying a tranquil lagoon setting. The property features a resort-style pool already in place which will need rehabbed, creating a strong foundation for an upgraded outdoor living space. With thoughtful improvements, this home can be transformed into a private coastal retreat that embraces indoor-outdoor living. Set within an exclusive enclave of just 13 homes — while this is 1 of 6 located on the water — residents enjoy a quiet, low-HOA community with direct access to kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and birdwatching. Private bridge access leads to a short stroll to Siesta Key’s world-renowned quartz-crystal beaches. Conveniently located just minutes from Siesta Key Village’s shops and dining, this property offers a unique opportunity to create your own island getaway. 3D renderings are available upon request for those seeking design inspiration.
Local Insight
This 1949 cottage is priced aggressively at $1,127/sqft for Sarasota, but the AE flood zone is a serious consideration—expect mandatory flood insurance costs that could run $1,500+ annually and potential elevation requirements if you ever renovate. The private pool and small 0.3-acre lot in an established neighborhood appeal to retirees and downsizers, though at 1,153 sqft you're really paying for the location and amenity rather than square footage, so verify the roof and foundation condition carefully given the age.
