Description

Rare bayfront estate acreage on Manasota Key. This gated 6.39 acre property on Lemon Bay includes deeded Gulf beach access directly across the street, plus ownership of the natural shoreline and submerged lands extending into the bay, a private waterfront setting seldom available on the island. The custom elevated residence offers 7,792 square feet under roof, with 3,806 square feet of conditioned living space and more than 2,000 square feet of decks and balconies. Finishes were selected at the highest level: Doca cabinetry, California Closets systems, Signature Kitchen Suite appliances, a Lutron lighting system, and new impact windows and doors by Jeld-Wen and Euro Wall. The main living level opens to an expansive covered lanai finished in the same porcelain tile as the interior for seamless indoor-outdoor living. A main level suite with bay views, direct lanai access, custom closet systems, and a beautifully appointed bath offers flexibility for guests or multi-generational living. Upstairs, the primary suite opens to the upper deck and a rooftop observation deck with panoramic views of Lemon Bay, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the Gulf. A private elevator serves the home. Outdoor living spans multiple levels: a ground level entertainment pavilion, outdoor kitchen and grill, fitness and recreation areas, a 10' x 8' spa, and a private boardwalk winding through the natural shoreline to a bayfront platform overlooking Lemon Bay. Additional features include a metal roof, high efficiency mechanical systems, extensive insulation and air sealing, tankless propane water heating, and whole house water filtration, all beneath a canopy of live oaks and native palms preserved for privacy and beauty. Sunrise over the bay and sunset over the Gulf, on a property of a scale and privacy that cannot be duplicated anywhere else.
