About this home

A 2-minute walk across your private footbridge to secluded beach access, this 12,684-square-foot property in Heron Lagoon presents a rare opportunity to own in one of Siesta Key’s most intimate waterfront communities. The existing residence offers the potential to renovate or personalize, all while enjoying a tranquil lagoon setting. The property features a resort-style pool already in place which will need rehabbed, creating a strong foundation for an upgraded outdoor living space. With thoughtful improvements, this home can be transformed into a private coastal retreat that embraces indoor-outdoor living. Set within an exclusive enclave of just 13 homes — while this is 1 of 6 located on the water — residents enjoy a quiet, low-HOA community with direct access to kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and birdwatching. Private bridge access leads to a short stroll to Siesta Key’s world-renowned quartz-crystal beaches. The private beach cabana has been beautifully restored and is fully functioning, offering a unique amenity just steps from the private beach area. It is conveniently accessed directly from the footpath leading from the small private bridge, creating a seamless and secluded connection to the beach. Conveniently located just minutes from Siesta Key Village’s shops and dining, this property offers a unique opportunity to create your own island getaway. 3D renderings are available upon request for those seeking design inspiration.
