A Once in a Lifetime Waterfront Opportunity Near the Boca Grande Causeway, Offering 4.37± Acres with 2.49± Acres of Uplands and 1.88± Acres of Submerged Land. Offering direct access to local sandbars, Charlotte Harbor’s world class tarpon fishing, and open Gulf waters, this setting creates the perfect backdrop to create a one of a kind retreat. The existing home reflects a piece of Florida’s past and has experienced significant storm damage, presenting an opportunity for a restoration or complete redevelopment. Hardwood flooring, French doors, and built-in cabinetry offer glimpses of its original character. Mature trees frame the property, creating a sense of privacy and a connection to its history. While the structure remains, the true value lies in the land, the expansive water views, and the rare setting that is increasingly difficult to find. The submerged land ownership is a valuable advantage, potentially streamlining the process for future dock construction or other waterfront improvements. Panoramic water views stretch across the bay toward Boca Grande, creating a setting that is truly unmatched. The 2025 concrete seawall provides a strong foundation for a future dock and boat lift, where you can be on the water within minutes, enjoy sunset cruises from your backyard, or spend the day exploring the surrounding islands. Dolphin, osprey, and manatee are frequent visitors, adding to the natural beauty that surrounds you. Beyond the property, the location places you at the center of a lifestyle rich in history and charm. Just across the bridge, Boca Grande is known for its quiet elegance, uncrowded beaches, and the legendary Gasparilla Inn and Club, a landmark destination that has welcomed generations with fine dining and championship golf. The nearby Boca Grande Marina provides full service amenities for boaters, while Coral Creek Club and Lemon Bay Golf Club offer exceptional golf experiences set within beautifully preserved natural surroundings. For those traveling by air, Coral Creek Airport is just minutes away, offering convenient private plane access. In nearby Englewood, you will find a variety of activities including golf, pickleball, waterfront dining, and tiki bars, along with convenient access to shopping and medical facilities for comfortable, everyday living. With 4.37± acres, the property offers exceptional flexibility whether you envision renovating what is here, creating a brand new private estate with a pool and guest home, or exploring potential subdivision opportunities. Positioned at the gateway to Boca Grande, 12500 Placida Road is a rare opportunity to own a property that reflects a bygone era and shape it into something truly special.
