DREAM WATERFRONT & NO HOA AWAITS! An exceptional opportunity on Siesta Key! Located just one mile from Turtle Beach, this property offers privacy, flexibility, and the serene beauty of Heron Lagoon. Spanning approximately 2 miles and covering 48 acres, Heron Lagoon is a peaceful, non-navigable body of water ideal for kayaking, paddleboarding, or simply enjoying the lush natural surroundings and abundant wildlife. Each evening, stunning sunsets over the lagoon rival those seen on the nearby beach, creating a breathtaking setting for your dream home. With NO HOA—a rare find in Sarasota County—you have the freedom to design and build your ideal home or renovate the existing structure. The property features a private driveway, mature palm trees, and a large lawn that provides ample space to house multiple automobiles, an RV, or even a boat. While marinas are nearby, keeping your boat on-site could save significantly on docking costs. Front and backyard paver patios and sidewalks enhance the outdoor living space, offering the perfect setting for entertaining or relaxing. The current structure, which can be transformed into a spacious 4-bedroom retreat, has been professionally remediated following flood damage. A new FEMA appraisal was recently completed, increasing the structural value and allowing for additional renovation costs. The composite dock remains in excellent condition, providing a serene spot to enjoy the tranquil views of Heron Lagoon. For those seeking expanded possibilities, plans for raising the structure are available upon request. A professional feasibility study completed in summer 2024 also highlights the potential to add a detached garage with an office and a pool, offering endless customization options. The free Siesta Key Trolley drives by the house and runs daily, providing effortless access to the island’s many attractions. A new survey is also available to assist with planning. Please note, many photos shown were taken prior to the storm to give you an idea of its current potential. Conveniently located just 7 miles from downtown Sarasota and close to Gulf Gate’s shopping, dining, and entertainment, this property is perfectly positioned to enjoy all that Sarasota has to offer. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to create your private oasis on beautiful Siesta Key. Contact us today for more information, to request available plans, or to schedule a private tour!
