Virtually Staged. This is the rare blank canvas—a true Gulf-to-Bay homesite within the gated, private enclave of Manasota Key, where you design the dream rather than inherit someone else's. Spanning 1.17 acres across two parcels, the property holds 103 feet of sugar-sand Gulf beachfront and 94 feet of frontage on Lemon Bay: 197 feet of water in all, and a setting most owners spend a lifetime searching for. Imagine the home you would build here. Walls of glass framing the Gulf, primary suite oriented to the sunrise over the bay, a pool sited between the water and the palms, and room for every detail that makes a house unmistakably yours. With water on both sides, the architecture writes itself. Then picture the life: morning coffee on the sand as dolphins roll past, the boat launched from your own bay frontage, the sky turning gold over the Gulf each evening. Behind the gates, life slows—white-sand beaches and the calm, fishable Intracoastal moments from your door, Englewood's shops and dining an easy drive away. Homesites of this scale and dual-water frontage rarely come to market here. Bring your architect, and build the legacy retreat you've always imagined on one of Florida's last truly private barrier islands.
