    What's special

    Panoramic tropical viewsWide view water gazing
    Incredible lifestyle opportunity available here, when your morning begins with watching the sun rise over Sister Keys and Sarasota Bay on 250 feet of tranquil, direct bay access. This enviable location places you minutes from both the Intracoastal Waterway and the Gulf of Mexico, in the historic Longbeach Village of Longboat Key. The flocks of wild green parrots at your bird feeder, or delicate ibis strutting across your backyard are your clues that this property boasts an upgraded reality. The gentle surfacing manatees or playful bottlenose dolphin sightings are just another normal vista at your secluded oasis. Whether you enjoy your front row view at your own piece of heaven on the bayfront and watch all the busyness of the wildlife or contemplate in your own secluded “park” (as the current owners lovingly named it), you will find the cure to what ails you. Forgotten feelings of timelessness, serenity, and grounded perspective, soak into your bones as you step onto the property. The rabbits, turtles, owls, hawks, and osprey will share your piece of paradise. The American bald eagle that soar overhead will never cease to amaze. Listed for the first time in nearly 30 years, and over 3 decades before that, you won’t want the tide to go out on owning your own slice of paradise on this approximate 1.3 acres. Over 1 acre on Longboat Key just doesn’t commonly exist anymore. This property is a relatively untouched palate for your water-loving needs, with a wide panoramic view of the Intracoastal. Kept cool by the bay and gulf winds, this property is chock full of old banyan trees, live oak, huge producing mango tree, and other mature orchids, bromeliads, and bougainvillea. You are well on your way to your own gardener’s paradise, with the rare, free flowing artesian well to support all your irrigation needs. Minutes from world class fishing and golf, plus endless boating, kayaking, windsurfing, paddleboarding, snorkeling, and jet skiing right out your back door. You can check all the boxes for your outdoorsy itineraries. Or on a calmer scale, the wide view water gazing will instantly relax and recharge your perspective. This simple Old Florida 3 bedroom, 3 bath bayfront island home will serve as your initial sensory immersion as you contemplate the endless possibilities this seventh heaven can offer you. This, your island forever home, is your key to multigenerational gathering. You will load your own future time capsule with priceless memories of generational retreats - watching grandchildren net for shrimp out in the shallows, learn to fish on the seawall or cast a wide net, watch the moon rise over the bay with the ones you love. This stuff is indeed the little things that are worth taking the time for. The over 600 square foot detached garage will serve as your salt-life toy chest in the meantime. Whether you will enjoy the panoramic tropical views as is or begin to formulate your new estate home or sprawling family compound, you will be energized and hooked – ready to launch your dreams. With the setting in the historic Longbeach Village, where neighbors know each other and the names of their dogs, a vibrant community of like-minded folks is formed, who also know the secret to this meaningful island life – to be found on this northern tip of paradise. A leisurely walk to fine dining of the Shore or Mar Vista, or to sit by the firepit at Whitney's, after your short stroll to the glorious Gulf of Mexico sunset, and your day will be complete. Just Another Day in Paradise. If you are ready to learn more, please contact us at info@longboatkeybayfront.com or call at 941-383-2916. One of the sellers is a licensed real estate agent in the state of Florida. Buyer to do own due diligence.
