A rare waterfront estate along the Manatee River. Set on a private homesite with expansive water views stretching toward the Skyway Bridge, this property offers a unique combination of land, water frontage, and open water views. From sunrise reflecting across the river to evening sunsets along the horizon, the setting is centered around the water. The first floor is designed for a seamless blend of living and entertaining, featuring a primary suite with water views and a spa-like en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower overlooking tropical greenery and a soaking tub positioned near large windows. Two additional bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms complete the level. Formal living and dining spaces—including a dining room with wine wall, a living room with fireplace, and a custom study with rich wood built-ins and West Indies-inspired architectural detailing—flow effortlessly into an expansive family room overlooking the water. At the center of the home, a high-end kitchen anchors the living space, opening to the main areas where walls of glass frame the water beyond and create a natural gathering point.Upstairs, a loft-style en-suite retreat offers a sense of privacy and flexibility, complete with custom wall cabinetry, a full bathroom, walk-in closet, and access to a private balcony with water views—well suited for guests or additional living space. Outdoor living is thoughtfully arranged to maximize the waterfront setting. A covered patio features an outdoor kitchen and grilling area, complemented by an outdoor shower. Just beyond, the infinity-edge pool and integrated spa are positioned along the water’s edge, creating a seamless visual connection to the water. A sun shelf and generous deck space provide multiple areas for lounging and entertaining, all oriented toward the expansive views. For boating enthusiasts, a deep-water dock with T-head platform, 16,000-pound boat lift, and jet ski lift extends into open water with access to Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. A new seawall lines the waterfront. The approach is enhanced by an extended pavered driveway with multiple parking areas, complemented by a three-car garage, providing generous space for vehicles and guest arrivals. The home has been extensively updated, including a new roof, generator, well system, HVAC components, hurricane-rated window and transom installation, refinished and expanded outdoor living areas with updated lighting and landscaping, and a renovated outdoor shower. Interior improvements include new flooring, custom built-ins, renovated bathrooms, upgraded closet systems, and smooth-finish walls throughout, along with refined design details. Located near Robinson Preserve, De Soto National Memorial, the property offers convenient access to trails, kayaking, preserved land, and local markets. Gulf beaches, including Anna Maria Island and Longboat Key, are approximately 6–8 miles away, providing easy access to coastal destinations while maintaining a private residential setting.
