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.
In the newest phase of The Islands, this beautiful Home-Site #79 at the entrance of Rio Vista was just recently released. With 180 degrees of water and views of the marina and 2 enchanting bridges, this is one of the most remarkable home sites in the community. With a 1/2 acre of land and an additional 1/4 acre park-like easement to the north as a bonus, there's plenty of room for your future custom home. And there will be NO neighbors to the North and no homes directly behind - just a beautiful harbor leading to the Manatee River. Nothing is more convenient for a boater than your boat behind your home! The Developer currently is offering a premium dock (a $30,000 value) as an incentive for purchasing a home site in Rio Vista!!
