EXCEPTIONAL 0.69-ACRE WATERFRONT HOMESITE IN CAPE HAZE A rare opportunity to create a distinctive waterfront estate in the sought-after coastal enclave of Cape Haze. This nearly cleared, estate-sized homesite encompasses approximately 0.69 acres and offers an impressive 127 feet of canal frontage - providing exceptional space for an architecturally designed residence, resort-style pool, expansive outdoor living areas and generous garaging. With no mandatory HOA fees and no deed restrictions, the property offers valuable freedom to realize a truly personal vision. The canal connects to the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, with routes toward Placida Harbor and Kettle Harbor, placing renowned boating, fishing and cruising waters within reach. According to current FEMA mapping, the property is not located within a designated Special Flood Hazard Area. Surrounded by the natural beauty and understated elegance of Cape Haze, the property enjoys convenient access to upscale marinas, boat ramps, golf courses, nature preserves and waterfront dining. The celebrated beaches and island lifestyle of Boca Grande, Englewood and Manasota Key are only a short drive away. Whether envisioned as a private seasonal retreat or a sophisticated full-time residence, this remarkable homesite combines substantial acreage, exceptional canal frontage, boating connectivity and development flexibility in one of Southwest Florida’s most desirable coastal settings.

Cape Haze, located between Placida Road and Gasparilla Road, is a coastal and residential Rotonda neighborhood with canal-lined streets and mangrove-fringed waterways. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Placida Road corridor by the Cape Haze Pioneer Trail trailhead, where bike traffic, marina signage, and low-slung local storefronts set a salt-air rhythm. Homes lean Florida ranch and contemporary coastal, often oriented to water views and boat lifts. Lemon Bay Park & Environmental Center frames the landscape with boardwalks and scrubby preserves. Nearby, Cape Haze Marina and The Gasparilla Inn & Club act as recognizable local anchors for boating and Gulf-day rituals.
