About this home
Premier waterfront opportunity in Longboat Key Estates, offering direct canal frontage in one of the island’s most desirable residential enclaves. Positioned along a quiet interior street, this property offers the opportunity to own or build a custom coastal residence in an area undergoing continued redevelopment and investment potential. Surrounding properties reflect the neighborhood's transformation, with new-construction homes setting a high standard for modern, exclusive waterfront living. The canal setting provides protected waters for boating with access to Sarasota Bay, while deeded, private beach access offers the rare combination of boating and beachside lifestyle. This property offers views of Sarasota Bay and the Intracoastal Waterway directly from your Lanai and dock, featuring a 100 feet of seawall frontage (2022) and a 16,000-pound boat lift (2022). Generous lot dimensions and a tranquil waterfront setting create an exceptional opportunity for boating enthusiasts and the ideal canvas for a thoughtfully designed custom residence. As a resident of Longboat Key Estates, a deed-restricted single-family waterfront community, you have deeded access to the Gulf and a private resident-only Tiki within a five-minute walk. Enjoy close proximity to Bayfront Park offering pickleball and tennis, kayaking, along within close distance to fine dining, St. Armands Circle, downtown Sarasota, Sarasota International Airport, and Florida’s Gulf Coast, all at your doorstep!
