GULF-FRONT LAND FOR SALE | BAY EASEMENT | 148 FEET OF DIRECT GULF FRONTAGE | DESIGN YOUR DREAM COASTAL ESTATE
Explore three conceptual home elevations included within the MLS photography.
An exceptional and increasingly rare opportunity awaits to create a truly remarkable Gulf-front estate on this expansive .44-acre gulf front parcel, offering an impressive 148 feet of direct Gulf frontage. With an approximate 152-foot depth along each side, the property provides extraordinary scale, privacy, and flexibility—an ideal canvas for designing a custom coastal residence that reflects your vision of refined waterfront living.
The property also includes a bayside easement with warranty-deeded ingress and egress, which may provide access to the bayside portion of the island. Buyers may wish to explore with the appropriate authorities whether any future waterfront improvements could be considered; however, all potential uses and permitting would be subject to verification and approval by the applicable governing agencies.
This premier homesite captures the essence of exclusive island living, pairing sweeping panoramic Gulf views with lot dimensions rarely available along the shoreline. The generous footprint allows for exceptional architectural creativity—whether envisioning a grand coastal estate, a sophisticated contemporary residence, or a private seaside sanctuary thoughtfully designed to embrace the beauty of the Gulf.
The expansive parcel also lends itself beautifully to resort-inspired outdoor living, with ample space for elevated terraces, a pool and spa retreat, outdoor entertaining areas, lush landscaping, and a gated private entrance with generous guest parking, all framed by breathtaking sunset vistas over the Gulf.
Key property highlights include a reinforced concrete seawall installed in 2023, a water meter already in place, and an approximate land elevation of six feet. The property is zoned RE2, with approximate setbacks (buyer to verify) of 25 feet front, 10 feet on each side, 20 feet rear, and 20 feet from mean high water along the Gulf, with a maximum height allowance of 35 feet.
With a maximum building coverage of approximately 25%, a 4,500+ square-foot three-story residence can easily be erected (subject to county and builder verification). Such a design could incorporate several ground-level garages, an elevated primary living level, guest accommodations or guest house, and additional roofed structures. Notably, pools, decks, and open outdoor living areas do not count toward coverage, allowing for expansive exterior amenities. Buyers should review and verify Coastal Construction Control Line (CCL) guidelines to determine optimal placement of the residence.
Situated on a relaxed island community with no mandatory HOA or CDD fees, this remarkable homesite offers the freedom to design a private Gulf-front retreat tailored entirely to your lifestyle—whether as a luxurious year-round residence or a peaceful seasonal escape. Monthly minimum leases allowed. Optional Manasota Key Club can be joined and offers: fine dining, tennis, rentable cottages and bayside boat tie up and is located just of this property, at 7660 Manasota Key Rd.
While buyers are free to select their own builder, local custom builder Trend Homes has thoughtfully prepared three conceptual elevations and two virtual renderings, illustrating how a future residence could be beautifully positioned on this exceptional beachfront parcel.

One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Rivo at Ringling rises as a beacon of contemporary sophistication in downtown Sarasota—a 16-story architectural statement completed in 2006 that artfully balances modern design with serene urban living. Encompassing just 106 private residences encircling a dramatic, light-filled atrium, it feels more like an exclusive vertical sanctuary than a downtown condominium.
Within this coveted address, Residence #703 has been meticulously redesigned and refined to capture the essence of effortless luxury. The 2-bedroom, 2-bath layout—complemented by a custom, flexible-use den—embodies both artistry and functionality. The chef’s kitchen gleams with bespoke, stacked cabinetry painted to accentuate height and light, while quartz surfaces flow seamlessly into a full-height backsplash that reads more as sculpture than surface. Stainless steel appliances and designer lighting complete the composition, setting an elegant tone that continues throughout the open living and dining space.
Expanses of glass invite the outdoors in, framing the city skyline and drawing the eye to an oversized, north-facing 20×9-foot terrace—an alfresco retreat ideal for morning espresso or evening reflections, where Sarasota Bay glimmers faintly on the horizon.
The primary suite extends an aura of quiet indulgence. Its spa-inspired ensuite showcases a frameless glass shower, couture tilework, custom cabinetry, and statement lighting that transforms routine into ritual. Plantation shutters filter the Florida sunlight, while direct terrace access and a well-appointed walk-in closet complete the tranquil scene.
A split-bedroom layout ensures privacy for guests, while the generous den serves equally well as a study, media lounge, or third sleeping space—ideal for those balancing leisure and productivity. The secondary bath, with its elevated finishes and artful detailing, reinforces the home’s cohesive sense of design. Both bedroom sets convey with the sale.
Practical touches underscore the thoughtful craftsmanship throughout: a separate, exterior AC handler closet maximizes interior peace and utility, enhanced with a UV light system to promote cleaner air and additional storage for travel essentials.
Beyond the residence itself, Rivo at Ringling distinguishes itself with offerings rarely found in downtown living: two oversized, under-building parking spaces within a gated garage, a private storage room, secure bike and kayak storage, and convenient EV charging stations.
The amenity collection evokes the feel of an intimate resort—concierge services, a heated pool and spa with sun deck, a covered grill terrace, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and sophisticated social lounges. A fully funded reserve, flexible rental policy, and pet-friendly ethos enhance both livability and long-term value, while dedicated on-site management ensures a seamless experience.
Step outside and Sarasota’s cultural heartbeat unfolds within moments—acclaimed dining, the opera, theaters, live music, art galleries, and the Bayfront promenade, all effortlessly accessible.
For the discerning buyer who values artistry in both design and lifestyle, Residence #703 delivers a rare balance of elevated interiors, turnkey convenience, and a quintessential downtown address—complete with both bedrooms fully furnished for a move-in-ready transition.
At Rivo, sophistication meets serenity—a modern reprieve in the rhythm of the city.
