Envision the island paradise of your dreams. The opportunities are endless at this unique Siesta Key property, conveniently located on the north end of the Key providing owners with a relaxing island lifestyle combined with swift access to all the amenities of mainland Sarasota. The eight-mile barrier island of Siesta Key was recently acclaimed as one of the best white sand beaches in the United States, renowned for its alluring glassine waters and fine quartz-crystal white sand. This captivating waterfront estate is idyllically positioned just minutes away from the famous Siesta beaches and metropolitan Sarasota, known as the cultural and arts center of the Suncoast.

Secluded upon the end of Flamingo Avenue in the distinctive Bay Island community, this enchanting estate is an exclusive peninsula of land surrounded by the coveted deep waters of Robert’s Bay, a private lagoon and watercraft accessible canal. Submerged terrain and mangroves enclose this private retreat and create a natural estuary for the abundant native wildlife. Siesta Key was once famous for attracting writers and artist to its mesmerizing shores as a source of inspiration and serenity, this muse isle still attracts some of the world’s most intriguing and illustrious people.

This compelling estate encompasses 2.5-acres with 1.1-acres of uplands gently residing along 196-feet of prime water frontage. Surrounded by brilliant coastal waters and unrivaled fishing this location is a mariner’s paradise, offering quick access to the Gulf of Mexico and plenty of room to construct a deep water dock. Zoned in both the city and county of Sarasota this unique property has already been approved for two residents providing the option of creating an all-inclusive family retreat or exceptional multigenerational housing opportunity.
 
Deeply shaded by an ancient banyan tree and native soaring oaks this canopied oasis is a peaceful sanctuary awaiting its next residents.
