Description

Located on two combined lots totaling .63 acres, this canal front Manasota Key residence delivers a rare level of versatility for those seeking a waterfront lifestyle with ample space for vehicles, boats, and storage. With road access on two sides, a concrete seawall, deeded beach access, and a unique combination of structures—including a covered boathouse with lift, separate wood dock, private boat ramp, and attached RV garage—the property offers a highly functional layout for a variety of uses.

The home’s elevated construction provides added protection and peace of mind for those looking to stay “high and dry.” Additionally, the upstairs level includes storm-rated windows throughout and hurricane shutters on the sliding glass doors for added protection. Upon entering the main living level, the vaulted great room opens to canal views and includes a wood-burning fireplace, kitchen, and sliding doors to a balcony that offers a wonderful vantage point for observing dolphins and manatees in their natural habitat. The primary bedroom is positioned for privacy and includes double walk-in closets, an ensuite bathroom, and its own balcony access.

From the formal dining room, you enter a spacious family room with soaring high ceilings, which includes a wet bar, large storage closet, a projector setup, and a concealed entryway to a private office. Two guest bedrooms, a full guest bath, and a dedicated laundry room complete the main floor.

The lower level of the home provides extensive storage and workspace options. An oversized garage with a 14-ft high door, full bathroom, and workshop can accommodate multiple vehicles and equipment, and includes an existing car lift. A separate two-car under-building garage adds further capacity.

The property features Florida-Friendly Landscaping with crushed shell ground cover and native palms, requiring minimal maintenance. The deep-water canal frontage is ideal for boaters, with a private ramp, an additional dock for fishing or tie-ups, and a boathouse equipped with a 10,000-lb lift. From this location, access to Lemon Bay and the Gulf of Mexico is convenient for boating, fishing, and exploring local waterways.

The combined lots may remain as one large property or be separated to create a buildable homesite that includes the boathouse. Beach access is located directly across Beach Road, providing easy walking access to the shoreline.
