Bring your boat! Exclusive opportunity to build your dream residence on this nearly 1/2 acre canal front homesite in the coveted custom home enclave of The Islands on the Manatee River. Located in the picturesque Rio Vista Estates section known for its charming brick paver streets, legacy builders, and waterways navigable to the Gulf of Mexico. This homesite includes approval for a private boat dock, lift, and 180 degree panoramic views you will have to see to believe. Evenings will be well spent outdoors as you enjoy abundant wildlife and the character of a softly lit bridge in the distance. For optimal privacy, a palm lined and manicured community site never to be built upon rests the opposite shoreline ensuring your mornings are connected to the nature of Florida living. A blank canvas and a fisherman’s paradise less than 3 miles from Lakewood Ranch this is an opportunity we will not see again. As one of few remaining undeveloped lots and arguably the most desirable setting, the time is now to establish that casual but luxe waterfront lifestyle just moments to Lakewood Ranch, beach, resorts, world-class dining, shopping and more. Residents of the community enjoy guard-gated entry, no CDDs, and access to the River Lodge, fitness room, putting green, bocce ball, additional boat/kayak launch, day docks for visitors, and social events. Choose from an array of custom builders, but approved custom plans by John Cannon Homes are available for review to further showcase the immense potential of this premier parcel.
