About this home
Build your waterfront residence and be perfectly positioned in one of Longboat Key’s most elegant neighborhoods- Longboat Key Estates where sunrise occurs over the Bay while sunset occurs over the Gulf. You will have both and each new day provides unique views. This build-ready lot offers 100 feet of deep-water canal frontage and 117 feet of depth from canal to street where you’ll enjoy direct access to Sarasota Bay. Load up the boat and cruise the bay, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the Gulf of Mexico, with popular waterfront restaurants along the way. Just over the bridge from the mainland, you’re moments from Sarasota —cultural venues, marinas, and everyday conveniences.
A private deeded beach access lies just across Gulf of Mexico Drive, where a shady Tiki Hut welcomes you before taking a few short steps which lead to the gentle Gulf waters and sandy shoreline. The private Tiki Hut is often the venue for neighborhood parties and a frequent gathering spot for sunset seekers! This vacant lot on Rountree Drive presents a rare chance to enjoy both boating and beachside living in one extraordinary location. Your future dream home could capture panoramic bay and beach views, creating the perfect backdrop for unforgettable Florida sunsets. With no fixed bridges to the Gulf of Mexico except the new very high Ringling Bridge to the mainland, this is truly a boater’s paradise.
Just steps away is Bayfront Park, a beautiful waterfront park overlooking Sarasota Bay. Amenities include picnic tables, tennis courts, lighted pickleball courts, basketball courts, shuffleboard, a kayak launch with rentals, a dog park with separate large- and small-dog areas, a playground, a multipurpose sports field, and a community center offering activities such as yoga and fitness programs.
Located in the heart of Longboat Key, this ready-to-build homesite offers an unparalleled coastal lifestyle. Head north to Center Shops for local favorites such as the Lazy Lobster, Harry's Continental Kitchen, Mar Vista Dockside Restaurant & Pub, and the Shore Longboat Key. Travel south to St. Armand’s Circle for world-class dining, boutique shopping, and vibrant island charm, including Columbia Restaurant, Cha Cha Coconuts, The Daiquiri Deck, Dockside, Chart House, and Tommy Bahama’s Restaurant, among many other fine dining places.
In summary, enjoy championship golf, boutique shopping, award-winning dining, and some of Florida’s most beautiful Gulf Coast beaches, all from your future home in Longboat Key Estates on Longboat Key!...
