Local Insight
The $5.5M price tag on this bare land reflects the Sarasota waterfront premium, though at $145 per square foot you're paying primarily for location and water access rather than improvements—so your real costs will depend heavily on what you can build and how much you're willing to invest in development. Being in flood zone AE is a serious consideration that will drive up insurance, require elevated construction, and potentially limit financing options, so factor those carrying costs into your true cost of ownership before committing. The 0.87-acre size is workable for a quality waterfront home or small development, but the lack of existing structures means you're starting from zero, which appeals to custom builders but requires patience and capital.
