Positioned amidst exclusivity and privacy, this property presents a prime canvas for luxurious coastal living. Numerous infrastructure items have been completed facilitating a seamless progression for prospective owners. Most noteworthy is the successful approval and issuance of the permit by the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection Agency to build west of the coastal construction line, which allows for a 6600+ square foot two-story single-family residence, a 1600+ square foot one-story detached accessory structure with bonus suite, swimming pool, and a reflecting pond at the entrance of the main residence. This is significant because the State EPA permit is the most difficult permit to obtain; also, the Sarasota County building permits are currently in process.

Extending 162 feet into the bay, the dock offers power and water access throughout its length, alongside amenities like a fish cleaning station and other conveniences. Additionally, the newly drilled 4-inch and 400-foot-deep irrigation well assures that the estate grounds will be a lush and tropical environment. Embracing the island lifestyle, residents relish the warm Gulf breezes by day and breathtaking sunsets at dusk. A favorite transportation choice by residents is often Golf Carts with easy access to nearby tiki bars, restaurants, grocery store, pharmacy and more. The property's strategic location just north of the historic Blackburn Point bridge facilitates excellent proximity to the mainland with top-rated schools, fine dining establishments, Downtown Sarasota, St Armand’s Circle, The Island of Venice, and world-class medical facilities.
