Perfect for maritime enthusiasts, with a new 30 foot dock in progress, the lot offers direct access to the bay with no bridges, so bring your sailboat.

This waterfront haven is an exceptional opportunity to build your own private oasis, and includes the conceptual design for a 3,868 sqft 4 bed 4.5 bath dream home by premiere local Architect Dan Lear of Lear Studios. The included plan was exclusively designed to maximize the unique attributes of this building site and create a seamless marriage of indoor and outdoor living. Whether it is building new, or enhancing the existing cottage, this rare location is a must see. Truly a blend of leisure and investment potential with the allure of coastal living in one of Sarasota’s most sought-after downtown neighborhoods.
