About this home
Welcome to an exceptional waterfront estate, gracefully positioned at the end of a palm-lined cul-de-sac on a private peninsula within the exclusive gated community of Riviera Dunes. Set along the peaceful Manatee River, this residence captures breathtaking sunset views and offers a refined coastal lifestyle with convenient access to the Gulf of Mexico via the community’s deep-water marina. This furnished custom home spans over 4,400 square feet of elegant living space and more than 5,700 total square feet designed for both luxurious everyday living and grand-scale entertaining. From the moment you arrive, the paver driveway, striking curb appeal, and three-car tandem garage with designer checkerboard flooring set the tone. Inside, expansive tray ceilings with ambient lighting, custom ironwork, and timeless finishes create an elevated yet inviting atmosphere. A grand formal dining room is perfect for hosting, while the massive great room, anchored by a gas fireplace and custom built-ins, offers both comfort and style. The gourmet kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with granite countertops, natural wood custom cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, built-in desk, wet bar, and premium appliances including Thermador and Sub-Zero. The main-level owner’s suite is a private sanctuary, featuring serene water views from every window, a custom walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath with glass shower, dual vanities, abundant storage, private commode with bidet, and an in-suite wet bar. Upstairs, a spacious family and recreation area with kitchenette opens to an expansive balcony overlooking the water, ideal for relaxing or entertaining. Step outside to your private waterfront retreat, where a covered patio and seating area lead to a stunning beach-entry, heated, saltwater, infinity pool, perfectly positioned to take in spectacular sunset views over the river. Built for both beauty and peace of mind, the home features hurricane impact glass, a concrete seawall, and has experienced no flooding during recent storm events, an exceptional benefit for waterfront living. Additional highlights include a wine cellar, tile flooring throughout, stucco exterior, and a classic barrel tile roof. While this property does not include a private dock, Riviera Dunes offers one of Southwest Florida’s safest deep-water harbors, with boat slips often available for purchase separately, providing convenient boating access to the Gulf in approximately 10 minutes. This home is ideally located just minutes to I-75, approximately 45 minutes to Tampa International Airport, 30 minutes to Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, and close to premier shopping and dining at Ellenton Premium Outlets and University Town Center. This is more than a home, it’s a rare opportunity to experience waterfront living with unmatched sunsets, elegance, and privacy.
