The Islands on the Manatee River—voted Best Overall Community, Category 3, in the 2026 Parade of Homes by the Suncoast Builders Association. AN EXCEPTIONALLY RARE RIVERFRONT OPPORTUNITY! With only six resale homesites currently available in The Islands, Lots 32 & 33 represent the only riverfront resale lots presently offered where a buyer can select a builder and create a custom home from the ground up. Even more exceptional, these are the last two side-by-side riverfront lots without an easement between them, offering the unique opportunity to combine them and centrally position one spectacular custom estate. Together, the lots encompass over one acre with an impressive 341 feet of Manatee River frontage and two deeded boat docks. Located in Flood Zone X, this extraordinary setting offers the space, frontage and flexibility to design a truly one-of-a-kind waterfront residence. Choose from 11 pre-approved luxury builders, giving you the freedom to select the builder and design the waterfront home of your dreams. The Islands is a premier gated boating community with a 24-hour manned guard gate, community center with banquet room and fitness facility, and private boat launch. Just a short golf cart ride away is The Club at River Wilderness, featuring an 18-hole championship golf course, clubhouse with restaurant and bar, athletic facility, pool, tennis and pickleball courts. With direct boating access from the Manatee River to the Gulf, this is an increasingly rare opportunity to create a custom waterfront estate in one of the area's most distinctive boating communities.

About River
Wilderness
River Wilderness, located between the Manatee River and I-75, is a gated and golf-oriented Bradenton neighborhood with a riverfront setting and a canopy of mature oaks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the River Wilderness Golf & Country Club clubhouse, where fairways, tennis courts, and social spaces set the daily rhythm. Streets curve through low-slung Florida homes and newer builds, with water views appearing along ponds and preserve edges. The Manatee River shoreline frames the landscape with mangroves and broad-sky sunsets. Nearby, the Gamble Plantation Historic State Park adds a distinct sense of place through preserved grounds and guided-history programming. For a local night out, the Riverhouse Waterfront Restaurant and Woody’s River Roo keep the riverfront scene grounded in Bradenton tradition.
