FURNISHINGS ARE NEGOTIABLE, making this a seamless move-in-ready option.***Located in the laid-back South Venice community, you’re just MINUTES FROM MANASOTA BEACH, where you can enjoy uncrowded shoreline walks, hunt for shark teeth, and take in breathtaking Gulf sunsets. Residents also have the option to join the South Venice Civic Association, offering access to A PRIVATE FERRY TO A SECLUDED BEACH AND A BOAT RAMP, making it easy to get out on the water whenever you choose.~~~With NO HOA RESTRICTIONS, a peaceful neighborhood setting, and nature right outside your door, this property offers a lifestyle that’s increasingly hard to find—quiet, private, and deeply connected to the natural beauty of coastal Florida.
