Rare bayfront acreage with deeded Gulf beach access on Manasota Key. Hidden behind a gated entrance and nestled among majestic live oaks, native palms, and lush tropical landscaping, this extraordinary coastal property offers a level of privacy and natural beauty seldom found on the island. Designed to embrace its surroundings, the custom residence offers approximately 3,806 square feet of living space and more than 2,000 square feet of outdoor living areas. Expansive impact-rated windows and doors frame water views and fill the home with natural light, while premium European cabinetry, custom built-ins, and thoughtfully curated architectural details create an atmosphere that is both timeless and inviting. The main living level opens seamlessly to an expansive covered lanai finished with porcelain tile that continues from the interior living spaces, creating effortless indoor-outdoor living. A spacious main-level suite with bay views, direct lanai access, custom closet systems, and a beautifully appointed bath provides exceptional flexibility for guests or multi-generational living. Upstairs, the primary suite enjoys direct access to the upper-level deck and rooftop observation deck, where panoramic views of Lemon Bay, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the Gulf of Mexico create an unforgettable backdrop. Outdoor living is a defining feature of the property. Multiple levels of gathering spaces include covered and open-air decks, a ground-level entertainment pavilion, outdoor fitness and recreation areas, and a 10' x 8' spa. A private boardwalk winds through the natural shoreline landscape to the water's edge, connecting a series of waterfront destinations and a bayfront platform overlooking Lemon Bay. Ownership includes natural shoreline areas and submerged lands extending into Lemon Bay, creating a unique private waterfront setting rarely found on Manasota Key. Deeded Gulf beach access is located directly across the street, offering the best of both worlds—sunrise views across the bay and sunsets over the Gulf. Additional features include impact-rated windows and doors, high-efficiency mechanical systems, extensive insulation and air sealing, tankless propane water heating, and a landscape carefully preserved to enhance privacy, beauty, and connection to the surrounding environment. Whether entertaining beneath the live oaks, enjoying the rooftop views, relaxing by the water's edge, or strolling the private boardwalk, this is a property that offers an experience as unique as its setting.
