About this home
Discover a rare slice of Old Florida at 916 Piney Point Road, a little over half an acre tucked just 500 feet from the shores of Tampa Bay. This unique property sits in one of Palmetto’s most historic waterfront enclaves, once home to the original Beeline Ferry landing, which carried residents across Tampa Bay long before the Sunshine Skyway Bridge existed. Opportunities in this area are few and far between, and this parcel offers the kind of flexibility and history buyers dream about. Set at the very end of a quiet, dead-end road, the property features an existing 1930s-era 576 sq ft that is not currently habitable but provides an incredible canvas for your vision, whether you’re planning a weekend retreat, a coastal cottage rebuild, or a future homesite steps from the bay. The lot offers plenty of space, mature natural surroundings, and the hard-to-find no HOA lifestyle that lets you design your project your way. Enjoy quick access to a county boat launch just moments from the property, putting you within minutes of world-class fishing, boating, and sunsets on the bay. From here, you can be in St. Petersburg, Tampa, Sarasota, Bradenton, or Anna Maria Island in under an hour, making this one of the most central waterfront corridor locations in all of Manatee County. Whether you’re drawn to the area’s Old Florida feel, the incredible proximity to Tampa Bay, or the chance to build something truly special on a historic piece of Piney Point, this property is ready for its next chapter. Buyer and buyer’s agent are advised to conduct all due diligence with Manatee County regarding zoning, land use, permitted structures, renovation or rebuild requirements, utilities, and any future development plans. Existing structure is considered uninhabitable and is not warranted. All building, permitting, setback, and usage questions must be verified directly with the appropriate county departments, as seller and broker make no guarantees or representations. Property is sold as-is.
