Custom-built estate on Manasota Key by Bay Front Builders — 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, 2,658 square feet in one of the key's most sought-after enclaves. Built to last, this home has weathered multiple hurricanes with no structural damage. The ground-level garage was specifically designed to allow water to flow through, performing exactly as engineered when it matters most. Deeded beach access to the Gulf of Mexico provides access to a private beach — true barrier island living that is uncrowded, unhurried, and unlike anything on the mainland. Inside, the home has been thoughtfully updated throughout — completely renovated bathrooms, an additional laundry room, and refined finishes that honor the original craftsmanship while bringing everything current. Wrap-around porches and upper-level balconies frame Gulf and tree canopy views from nearly every angle. The backyard is where this property truly shines. A new pool anchors the outdoor living space, with a kayak launch for quick paddles into Lemon Bay, an updated dock, and a boat lift — everything a waterfront buyer needs, ready to go. The swim spa, wet bar with wine fridge, and upper-level entertaining decks round out a home built for the coastal lifestyle. Manasota Key delivers a wildlife experience few places can match — dolphins, manatees, bald eagles, and pelicans are regular visitors, and sea turtles nest and hatch right on the beach during season. The surrounding waters offer world-class fishing for tarpon, redfish, sea trout, and snook, with direct access to the Intracoastal Waterway for endless miles of boating. This stretch of shoreline is also one of the rarest places to collect shark teeth fossils, including prized Megalodon finds. Famous Stump Pass Beach State Park sits just minutes from the front door.
