Best value for Gulf to Bay property on Casey Key. “Paradise Found” is the spirit of this charming home and unique offering to enjoy “as is” or to build new. Enter through the custom electric gates onto the circular driveway with covered portico and enjoy the privacy of a property encompassing approx. 140’ of gulf frontage, a private setting on some of the best beach on the key; approx. 130’ of bay frontage with a concrete seawall, no mangroves, a new dock in 2012 with 10,000 lb. lift with approx. 6‘at low tide and even a dolphin that frequently visits and “dines” against the seawall where the fishing enthusiast will find plenty of snook, redfish & trout. The recent installation of new sod, along with the U/V filtered koi pond provides a delightful addition to the garden near the home’s entrance. The natural light filled spacious layout opens to a screened & covered lanai that extends the entertaining area overlooking the pool and Blackburn Bay. Enjoy swimming in the salt-system pool; boating and fishing; beachcombing and watching amazing sunsets on your tropical island paradise. With only 3 contiguous homes in a span of over 500 ‘ of gulf to bay frontage, no homes built on the gulf side in this long stretch of the key, you will have forever views from a newly built home. Casey Key is located in close proximity to Venice & Sarasota airports, The Oaks Country Club, historic downtown Venice, and the cultural amenities of downtown Sarasota. Isn’t it time you join others who call this island “paradise found”?
