Nestled along the pristine canopy road section of Manasota Key, just south of Sarasota and off the coast of Englewood, this extraordinary 4.2-acre waterfront estate parcel offers one of the rarest opportunities on Florida’s Gulf Coast. Surrounded by swaying palms, endless white sand beaches, and the turquoise waters of the Gulf of America, this secluded property embodies the essence of “Old Florida” living—without traffic lights, high-rises, deed restrictions, or crowds. Boasting approximately 300 feet of frontage on protected Lemon Bay Aquatic Preserve, the property offers unmatched privacy with NO easement access, creating a truly exclusive retreat. Rich in natural beauty and history, the land sits directly across from Lemon Bay Park and Environmental Center where Indigenous Native Americans once traveled by canoe, with historic shell middens still present within the protected mangrove fringe. Wildlife abounds with native birds, marine life, and tropical vegetation creating a peaceful sanctuary unlike anything else available in Sarasota County. Whether envisioned as an ultra-private family compound, legacy estate, or corporate retreat, this property presents endless possibilities. Enjoy the rare convenience of keeping your boat and water toys in your backyard while being just steps from miles of pristine Gulf beaches across the street. The majority of invasive vegetation has already been removed, enhancing the natural beauty and usability of the land. Additional valuable assets include a 2018 survey, hydrographic survey, and tree survey already available. Ideally located just minutes from historic Dearborn Street with its charming shops and dining, and only 10 minutes to Venice Municipal Airport for private aviation access. A complimentary nearby shuttle service offers transportation to local restaurants and waterfront bars, allowing you to enjoy island living at its finest. 6245 Manasota Key is truly among the finest remaining waterfront estate parcels on Florida’s west coast—a once-in-a-generation opportunity that should not be overlooked.
