About this home
Zoning confirmation letter in from City of Sarasota. Ready for permitting and your custom dream home. This waterfront gem fronts Roberts Bay, facing Edwards Island, and offers unobstructed 180-degree views of dolphins, various bird species, and manatees. It's a perfect canvas for creating your customized residence. Located on the prized northern tip of Siesta Key, nestled on the Freeling Drive peninsula, this exquisite parcel blends sophistication with coastal living. Bay Island is renowned for its admired homes and architectural beauty, redefining island luxury along one of the area’s most pristine waterways. The oversized homesite is just under 15,000 square feet and features an impressive 155 feet of brand-new two-foot-elevated seawall, offering stunning panoramas. This location is ideal for boating and fishing enthusiasts, or for simply enjoying breathtaking sunrises and sunsets in unmatched natural beauty. Access on and off the island is easy, with Siesta Key Village's vibrant shops and restaurants, as well as the world-renowned Siesta Key Beach, just minutes away. Downtown Sarasota, with its galleries, theater, and fine dining, is also a short drive. Opportunities like this are rare, making this property a true gem for anyone seeking the ultimate waterfront address where privilege and prestige are embedded in an affluent lifestyle. I highly recommend experiencing the magic of this property for yourself. Choose any architect or builder to make your dreams come true. Owner will consider financing.
