Welcome to your own private coastal retreat—where your backyard is the beach and every day feels like a getaway. This rare, direct beachfront estate on North Manasota Key delivers the ultimate in tranquility, seclusion, and barefoot luxury on one of Florida’s most coveted barrier islands.
Tucked within an exclusive, gated community of fewer than 80 homes along a serene two-mile private road, this property offers a lifestyle defined by natural beauty and relaxed elegance. With approximately 135 feet of pristine Gulf frontage and 147 feet on the Bay, all set on more than an acre of land, this elevated haven (rising 15 feet) captures the essence of true coastal living. Best of all, NO WATER INTRUSION FROM HURRICANE HELENE!
Step inside to 4,533 square feet of sun-drenched interiors where panoramic water views steal the show. An open-concept layout connects the main living spaces, perfectly designed for hosting and relaxing—whether you’re gathering around the dining table or savoring morning coffee with nothing but sea and sky in view.
The chef’s kitchen features generous cabinetry, new Dolomite countertops, ample storage, and windows that frame both the Gulf and the pool, blending indoor comfort with natural inspiration. Just outside, the shell-stone lanai is your private oasis: a heated pool and spa surrounded by lush native gardens, a built-in Wolf grill, skylights for natural light, and a pool bath for added convenience—all just steps from the sand.
The home’s thoughtful layout provides separation and privacy for family and guests. Two ensuite bedrooms on the ground floor are positioned in their own wings, while a flexible third ensuite—currently used as a den—can easily become a fourth bedroom, also having a large storage closet and beautiful Gulf views. Upstairs, the spacious master suite is a peaceful retreat with stunning beach and bay views, with a two-sided fireplace, sitting area, spa-like bath, and a private Brazilian walnut wood deck overlooking the Gulf. A second covered balcony on the bay side and a refined office with custom built-ins round out the upper level.
Meandering stone paths wind through lush, newly landscaped grounds adorned with vibrant orchids and native palms, guiding you to a brand new beach walk-out and your own secluded stretch of sand. A thoughtfully engineered sand berm provides vital protection against beach erosion, offering peace of mind and preserving your pristine shoreline for years to come. Along the way, discover multiple shaded and open-air sitting areas—perfect for morning coffee, sunset views, or simply soaking in the serenity of this coastal haven. Here, you can stroll the shoreline in search of seashells and shark’s teeth, watch dolphins play at sunset, or simply unwind with your toes in the sand. On the bay side, your recently resurfaced private dock (2024) and new 10,000 lb boat lift (2023) offer endless opportunities for boating, fishing, or paddleboarding.
Though it feels a world away, you're just minutes from golf, tennis, dining, boutique shopping, and top-rated schools.
This is more than a home—it’s a beachfront sanctuary, where life slows down and every day feels like a vacation.
