About this home
Set your sights on the Sarasota waterfront and imagine what could rise on this exceptional Little Sarasota Bay homesite. Located in the coveted Southpointe Shores community, this approximately 0.36-acre property offers an impressive 165 feet of bay frontage, expansive western views, and a front-row seat to unforgettable sunsets over the water. For investors, builders, or buyers ready to create a custom coastal retreat, the scale and setting present a rare opportunity to reimagine the existing property or pursue a striking new bayfront residence, subject to buyer due diligence and required approvals. The appeal extends well beyond the homesite. Southpointe Shores is a waterfront neighborhood west of the Trail, with a community boat ramp and convenient access to the Intracoastal Waterway. Little Sarasota Bay connects to the Gulf through Midnight Pass, offering a compelling boating lifestyle subject to current inlet conditions and vessel draft. Siesta Key’s celebrated beaches, Turtle Beach, Siesta Key Village, Sarasota dining, shopping, and cultural attractions are all within easy reach. Bring your vision to one of Sarasota’s most captivating waterfront settings and unlock the potential of this remarkable bayfront property.
