Welcome to 585 Gunwale Lane, a rare, full-bayfront offering in the desirable community of Country Club Shores on southern end of Longboat Key. On a .36-acre bayfront parcel with 117 feet on Sarasota Bay and 123 feet on a deepwater canal, this residence is a boater’s paradise. A newer seawall and 58-foot dock (2022) with a 24,000-pound boat lift assure easy access to Sarasota Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. On the bay side, Ghost Island sandbar emerges at low tide, creating a natural haven that attracts abundant wildlife and offers fantastic shelling. It also serves as a natural barrier, providing protection during storms. On the Gulf side, deeded access to an exclusive community beach is just a half-mile away. Whether you’re heading out for a day on the water or popping over to St. Armands Circle for dinner and shopping, this home puts you in the center of it all. The residence spans 4,733 square feet and includes three bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths. A soaring 20-foot ceiling defines the living room, where wall-to-wall built-ins create a refined focal point. The dining room opens to a remodeled kitchen outfitted with Graber wood cabinetry and professional-grade Frigidaire appliances. The primary bedroom is on the second floor, featuring a private bayfront balcony, dual walk-in closets, and an adjoining 270-square-foot bonus room ideal for a home office or wellness retreat. Outdoor amenities include a bayfront pool and spa for enjoying Florida sunsets. Additional highlights include impact-resistant windows and doors, and a two-car garage. For those who want to design and build their dream home, this property offers a spectacular location. Imagine a custom rooftop deck with breathtaking 360-degree views of the bay, Gulf, and downtown Sarasota. This is an opportunity to create something extraordinary. This exceptional property presents a rare opportunity to park your boat in the backyard and join the privileged few who call this well-established neighborhood home. By land or by sea, welcome to your fabulous Florida lifestyle!
