Situated on a stunning stretch of Sarasota Bay on the blissful tropical island of Casey Key, the “Tree House” is one of the more unique properties on the island. Aptly named, this dreamy getaway is undoubtedly a tropical paradise where exotic plants and fruit trees, a very private garden and gazebo, the soothing sounds of a flowing pond, and unmatched water vistas will capture your imagination the minute you step onto its magnificent grounds. Once you pass the entrance to the property you will take a walk down a wooden pathway to the Intracoastal Waterway. On your left: the main house – accessible by stairs or elevator – with three bedrooms and three baths elevated to capture the breathtaking views of Sarasota Bay with its abundance of seabirds, dolphins and gentle manatees. And on your right: your own extraordinary, one-bedroom, one-bath guest house, complete with full kitchen and a living/dining room situated partially over the water and filled with all the trappings for a perfect get-away. Abundant docks, a covered boat slip and a 13,000 lb. boat lift located on some of the deepest waters on Casey Key, make this dream home a once-in-a-lifetime oasis that can never be duplicated. The finishing touches include a stunning outdoor kitchen, heated pool, cabana bath, and outdoor shower, along with private deeded beach access to the Gulf of Mexico embodying the mantra, “I live where you vacation”. The only difference is you won’t have to travel halfway around the world to get there. Casey Key is conveniently nestled between the cities of Sarasota and Venice. Just minutes away to either, you will find an abundance of shopping, fine and casual dining, championship golf courses and award-winning white sandy beaches.
