Description of Property
This is a rare opportunity to own a waterfront retreat. Welcome to a hidden gem on the stunning Manatee River — a sprawling ¾+ acre waterfront property boasting over 100 feet of breathtaking river frontage. Tucked away at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac with no HOA or deed restrictions, this is your chance to create the lifestyle you’ve always imagined. With unobstructed views of the Manatee River, you have the opportunity to see the water from nearly every room in the house. Whether you’re envisioning a custom-built estate or restoring the existing mid-century concrete block home, the possibilities are endless. The current home features classic terrazzo floors, a newer metal roof, and has already undergone professional remediation after Hurricane Helene in 2024 — offering a solid foundation for renovation or a fresh start. Step outside and you’ll find a massive backyard oasis, complete with a sparkling in-ground pool (installed in 2022) and a large pergola with a built-in grill and smoker — ideal for entertaining or relaxing as you take in the natural beauty around you. With easy access to I-75 just over a mile away, you’re perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of Tampa, St. Petersburg, Bradenton, and Sarasota, all while coming home to your own serene riverfront retreat. Don’t miss this rare chance to own one of the few large riverfront parcels in the area — build, relax, and live your dream on the water.
