Bayshore Drive

Description

Set along Englewood’s most coveted stretch of Bayshore Drive, this 1.29-acre waterfront offering is a truly rare canvas for a legacy coastal estate. Boasting 116 feet of direct frontage on the Intracoastal Waterway, the property delivers expansive sunset views, exceptional privacy, and sweeping, unobstructed water views, an increasingly scarce combination in today’s market. Designed for the boating lifestyle, the property is already equipped with a modern dock and a new 13,000-lb boat lift, with no bridges between you and open Gulf waters. From your backyard, enjoy breathtaking nightly sunsets and the daily presence of dolphins and manatees, all just moments from Stump Pass and the Gulf beyond. The property is conveniently located near Wellen Park, Historic Dearborn Street, and Downtown Venice, providing access to restaurants, entertainment, and the Venice Municipal Airport for private aviation enthusiasts. Just five minutes away, Manasota Key Beach offers miles of pristine sand, perfect for shelling and shark tooth hunting. Manasota Key also features 3 additional beaches and charming waterfront dining, all easily accessible by bike or golf cart. This high-and-dry homesite is Zoned RE2 Residential Estate, allowing for a spacious custom primary residence as well as a separate guest home ideal for hosting while preserving privacy. The expansive lot and wide-open water views provide a blank canvas for a thoughtfully designed luxury retreat. Ownership includes the opportunity to apply for membership to the Englewood Gardens Beach Club, offering private beach and bay access, a clubhouse, kayak launch, and an active social scene. To streamline your vision, the property includes home renderings and full floor plans that can be customized to your preferences. You’ll also have full designer access for professional design and architectural support, ensuring a smooth transition from concept to completion. Bring your builder or one can be recommended for your convenience. Fully prepared for construction, the lot has been naturally cleared, surveyed, and undergone soil testing, making it truly turnkey for building. Opportunities of this caliber are vanishing along Florida’s Gulf Coast, where significant acreage, Intracoastal water frontage, and uncompromising privacy still exist in harmony. Properties like this are no longer being created, only claimed.
