Experience the timeless appeal of a quintessential Florida island home, immersed in a lush tropical waterfront setting on Longboat Key. Elevated above a serene natural bayou off Sarasota Bay, this distinctive residence embodies the relaxed elegance of island living, with soaring ceilings, expansive wraparound decks, and pristine Gulf beaches just moments away.
Launch a kayak from your private dock, enjoy exceptional fishing and bird-watching from your backyard, or keep your boat in one of the community's brand new deepwater slips on the open bay. The association offers slips up to 43 feet in length, and both your private dock on the bayou or a bayfront slip may accommodate an optional boat lift.
The spacious elevated residence is anchored by a dramatic great room featuring vaulted cedar ceilings and exposed beams. An expansive sunroom with a bar area and handcrafted display shelving, a dedicated library, an inviting family room, and a private office with extensive built-in cabinetry contribute to the home's distinctive character. The entire main living area is thoughtfully arranged on a single level.
Extensive decking welcomes you at the front entry and wraps around a lush central atrium courtyard, creating exceptional spaces for outdoor dining, entertaining, and relaxation. A shaded cabana-inspired retreat offers comfort throughout the day, while the setting is equally suited for the addition of an elevated outdoor spa. The kitchen, centered around a generous island, is perfectly positioned for gathering with family and friends. Either the front den or office are large enough and could easily be converted to a fourth or even fifth bedroom guest ensuite with added walk-in closets.
The primary suite features a wall of windows overlooking the tranquil bayou, dual walk-in closets, and an additional wall of custom closet storage. A desirable split floor plan creates a private guest wing with two additional bedrooms and baths. Each guest room enjoys direct access to the surrounding decks and views of the tropical atrium.
Two garages accommodate up to four vehicles and provide ample space for boats, golf carts, paddleboards, and additional storage. Most furnishings are included.
Within Land's End, an intimate gated enclave of just 12 residences, owners enjoy maintenance-free landscaping, a heated swimming pool, tennis and pickleball courts, and beautifully landscaped grounds nestled among mature trees for exceptional privacy and convenient bay access. From here, a short walk or golf cart ride leads to the Gulf beach and popular island dining destinations, including Shore Longboat Key, Mar Vista Dockside Restaurant, and Whitney's. Nearby waterfront cafés, boutique shopping, fitness facilities, and a Pilates studio further enhance the island lifestyle.
Enjoy breathtaking Gulf sunsets and tranquil bay sunrises from this exceptional waterfront community. Rarely does a property so perfectly capture the spirit of Old Florida, where tropical beauty, boating, nature, and beachside living come together in one of Longboat Key's most treasured island enclaves.
