GULF-FRONT LAND FOR SALE | BAY EASEMENT | 148 FEET OF DIRECT GULF FRONTAGE | DESIGN YOUR DREAM COASTAL ESTATE An exceptional and increasingly rare opportunity awaits to create a truly remarkable Gulf-front estate on this expansive .44-acre gulf front parcel, offering an impressive 148 feet of direct Gulf frontage. With an approximate 152-foot depth along each side, the property provides extraordinary scale, privacy, and flexibility—an ideal canvas for designing a custom coastal residence that reflects your vision of refined waterfront living. The property also includes a bayside easement with warranty-deeded ingress and egress, which may provide access to the bayside portion of the island. Buyers may wish to explore with the appropriate authorities whether any future waterfront improvements could be considered; however, all potential uses and permitting would be subject to verification and approval by the applicable governing agencies. This premier homesite captures the essence of exclusive island living, pairing sweeping panoramic Gulf views with lot dimensions rarely available along the shoreline. The generous footprint allows for exceptional architectural creativity—whether envisioning a grand coastal estate, a sophisticated contemporary residence, or a private seaside sanctuary thoughtfully designed to embrace the beauty of the Gulf. The expansive parcel also lends itself beautifully to resort-inspired outdoor living, with ample space for elevated terraces, a pool and spa retreat, outdoor entertaining areas, lush landscaping, and a gated private entrance with generous guest parking, all framed by breathtaking sunset vistas over the Gulf. Key property highlights include a reinforced concrete seawall installed in 2023, a water meter already in place, and an approximate land elevation of six feet. The property is zoned RE2, with approximate setbacks (buyer to verify) of 25 feet front, 10 feet on each side, 20 feet rear, and 20 feet from mean high water along the Gulf, with a maximum height allowance of 35 feet. With a maximum building coverage of approximately 25%, a 4,500+ square-foot three-story residence can easily be erected (subject to county and builder verification). Such a design could incorporate several ground-level garages, an elevated primary living level, guest accommodations or guest house, and additional roofed structures. Notably, pools, decks, and open outdoor living areas do not count toward coverage, allowing for expansive exterior amenities. Buyers should review and verify Coastal Construction Control Line (CCL) guidelines to determine optimal placement of the residence. Situated on a relaxed island community with no mandatory HOA or CDD fees, this remarkable homesite offers the freedom to design a private Gulf-front retreat tailored entirely to your lifestyle—whether as a luxurious year-round residence or a peaceful seasonal escape. Monthly minimum leases allowed. Optional Manasota Key Club, 7660 Manasota Key Rd, can be joined and offers: community activities, the beach area, walking trails, the pool, tennis, bocce ball, croquet, pickelball and onsite fine dining restaurant!
