One of the best kept secrets on Manasota Key! An elusive and private sanctuary located on 2.6 acres, directly on lemon Bay, including a dock and a boat lift with a private 8 foot easement to the Gulf of Mexico directly across the road. The “elevated” Floridian style 3 bedroom 3 bath residence was built in 1983 and has been maintained impeccably. Volume ceilings, and beautiful hardwood floor throughout, and the living room with beautiful electric fireplace. Crafted built-in cabinets, drawers and closet throughout. There is a brilliant second level observation deck built for bird and nature watching with stunning views. A unique opportunity regarding this parcel because of the notable size and dimensions of the land. Ideal for family enclave or the future owner as an investment. It has been favorably investigated for division, however the buyers should seek their own guidelines with the county. There is approval for a second boat lift on the dock. If you have a fondness for serenity and nature this is the ideal home for you! Start each day with an awesome sunrise and jump on your trail to the dock to enjoy an active day on the bay waters with your choice of boating, kayaking, paddle boarding. Or if you prefer the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, or you can follow your other trail to the beach for shelling, swimming, sunbathing, or surf fishing. You will never tire of the privacy of your magnificent sunsets and the clear starry nights! There is an abundance of decking that surrounds much of the home. Wonderful for entertaining with endless views of lemon Bay. A small fenced in area with a ramp for your pets. There was not any water intrusion in the living area from hurricane Helene or Milton. The house is being sold turnkey.
