Bring your boat! Home itself NOT built in a required flood zone. Dock, lift, and river/canal front navigable to the Gulf of Mexico with no lock system. Truly one of the most beautiful homes in the custom gated enclave of “The Islands on The Manatee River.” A home on this coveted side of the street hasn’t been available for over two years but boy was this one worth the wait. This residence has dazzled passersbys since it was painstakingly crafted in 2016. A timeless Spanish Colonial elevation with no expense spared on detail and lush landscape. As an ode to authenticity, this discerning owner implemented a whitewashed stucco exterior, plaster interior accent walls, wood-beamed ceilings, dramatic fire features, and expansive vistas throughout. A grand foyer with substantial double wooden plank doors featuring hand forged clavos and iron grills over small speakeasies sets the precedent of the impressive interior and meticulous attention to detail. Travertine flooring placed in a French pattern graces the entire home and is the perfect stage for the large great room. A gourmet kitchen with Thermador appliances, 42” wood cabinetry & exotic granite work surfaces make dining at home a pleasure. Spellbinding views and impact sliding glass doors will lead you outside to an entertainer’s paradise. A heated saltwater pool and spa, surround sound, gas fire pit, lounge area with TV, and fully equipped summer kitchen are wonderful but just when you thought it couldn’t get any better it does. Step outside the Clearview screen and onto your private Trex dock. Meander down to the water where you will find a 10,000 lb boat lift fitted with kayak platform. An island nature site of protected mangrove never to be built upon teams with wildlife and rests in the distance for your mornings connected to the nature of Florida living. A fisherman's paradise less than 3 miles from Lakewood Ranch, this vision of elegant finishes, quality of workmanship, and thoughtful solid construction is a rare opportunity in any market. Residents of the community enjoy inclusive amenities such as: guard-gated entry, no CDDs, and access to the River Lodge, fitness center, putting green, bocce ball, clubhouse, veranda, additional boat/kayak launch, day docks for visitors, and social events. Additional investment is optional for Golf and Country Club access.
