Welcome to your private tropical retreat on Terra Ceia Bay! 5003 Commonwealth Road sits on a rare double lot offering an impressive 150 feet of deep-water frontage along the pristine, shimmering waters of Terra Ceia Bay.

With nearly 4,400 square feet under roof, the home provides generous indoor and outdoor living spaces—perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or creating your own coastal compound. The expansive property spans two lots totaling 150 feet of seawall, opening the door to endless possibilities: enjoy it as-is, expand, or reimagine the space into a true waterfront estate. Whether you’re boating, fishing, or simply soaking in the tranquil bay breezes, this is Florida waterfront living at its finest.
