About this home
A rare opportunity to create a legacy property along the shores of Sarasota Bay. Set on over half an acre in the heart of historic Whitfield Estates, 7538 Westmoreland Drive offers one of the area’s most compelling waterfront redevelopment opportunities. Framed by breathtaking bay views and unforgettable sunsets, this expansive homesite is where vision, architecture, and lifestyle come together. Westmoreland Drive is widely regarded as one of Whitfield Estates most desirable waterfront streets, where classic Spanish-inspired residences and Old Florida charm are giving way to stunning custom-built bayfront estates. Surrounded by multi-million-dollar homes, this property presents the ideal canvas to design and build the luxury waterfront residence you’ve always imagined. The existing home is being sold for land value, allowing the next owner to unlock the full potential of this exceptional setting. With over half an acre of bayfront property, opportunities of this scale and location have become increasingly difficult to find. Perfectly positioned just minutes from IMG Academy, Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, downtown Sarasota, world-renowned beaches, waterfront dining, and the vibrant cultural amenities that make Sarasota one of Florida’s most sought-after destinations. Whitfield Estates also offers a voluntary neighborhood association for only $40/year, providing culinary access to the Sara Bay Country Club. Whether you’re building your forever home, a family compound, or a signature waterfront estate, this is a chance to secure a premier piece of Sarasota Bay and bring your vision to life. Waterfront homesites of this caliber are few and far between. The next chapter begins here.
