PRIVACY, PRIVACY, PRIVACY 2.619 Acres, one of the best kept secrets on Manasota Key! An elusive sanctuary, located directly on magnificent LEMON BAY with 275 ft. of Bay frontage. This includes a dock with a 10,000 lb boat lift and possibility of a second lift. This property also includes a spacious private 8 foot easement to the Gulf of Mexico. 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 a 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 panoramic views. A unique opportunity regarding this parcel because of the notable size and dimensions of the land. Ideal for a 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. 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 directly across the street 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.

This custom built home was featured in Southern Living Magazine in 1984. The owner was an avid bird watcher from Wisconsin and wanted to make this an ideal spot for watching all the fabulous birds that live or pass through this tropical paradise. Greatcare was taken to preserve as much native vegetation as possible to attract the birds. We could truly call this a "bird house" because it is perched up among the limbs of huge coastal live oaks. A second story outdoor observation deck was built to allow360 degree bird watching. See the sun set over the Gulf and watch the sun rise over Lemon Bay. Unique and one of a kind. The beautiful wooded lot is over 2.5 acres and provides quiet privacy.
