Overview
Waterfront Land with Cottage
Located in the Longbeach community of Longboat Key, this waterfront parcel offers land value and future potential. The property spans over 0.34 acres, featuring 78 feet of waterfront frontage and a 192-foot depth. Positioned on the Manatee County side, it provides direct, no-bridge boating access to the Intracoastal Waterway, Sarasota Bay, and the Gulf of America. An existing 1935 cottage is situated on the property. The RSF-6 zoning allows up to six units an acre (buyer to verify). The existing dock is currently damaged and not usable, but already has water and electric in place. Neighboring boats range between approximately 20-25 feet or larger in length. Capital improvements include a shingle roof (2023), and extensive interior updates completed in 2025 following storm remediation, including all new flooring, paint, cabinetry, and drywall. Additional upgrades include a new 2.5-ton AC system (2024), electrical improvements with a 200-amp panel and grounding, water heater (2025), hurricane impact windows in most rooms, including the primary bedroom, kitchen, both bathrooms, and living room. The home includes two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and approximately 1,180 square feet, with original cypress walls and ceilings, abundant windows, and a wood-burning fireplace. A 15x33 rear-facing covered and screened lanai provides approximately 510 square feet of under-roof outdoor living. The updated half-galley kitchen features shaker wood cabinetry, soft-close drawers, light quartz countertops, an LG stainless steel appliance package, deep stainless sink, pull-outs, and lazy Susan. The primary ensuite measures approximately 10x22 and includes room for seating or office use, dual sinks, his-and-hers closets, and a shower/tub combination. A shared full bath offers inlaid tile flooring and a walk-in shower with marble step. Wood flooring runs throughout with tile in the bathrooms.
