An Island on an Island. A Hidden Coastal Retreat. Escape to your own private slice of paradise. Tucked away on 4.5 acres of lush, tropical landscape, this secluded three-story oasis feels like Costa Rica but it's just 7 minutes from the nearest grocery store and within easy reach of St. Pete, Anna Maria Island, Bradenton Beach, Sarasota, and Tampa. Surrounded by serene mangrove forests and vibrant estuaries, graceful herons, egrets, and spoonbills are frequent visitors, drifting through the skies or wading in the surrounding canals, offering a daily display of natural beauty that blends serenity with quiet spectacle. This rare waterfront gem boasts 1,200 feet of water frontage and a 40-foot dock. Ideal for launching one of the 5 included kayaks and setting off on tranquil adventures. Whether you're paddling peaceful waters, hiking nearby nature trails, savoring your morning coffee or unwinding with a glass of wine on one of three spacious porches, you'll feel deeply connected to the natural world. Step inside and discover a home that exudes character and comfort, blending Old Florida charm with modern luxury. Every detail from the natural wood-burning fireplaces to the warm inviting finishes, evokes as sense of classic coastal living, beautifully complimented by high-end furnishings and appliances that offer both style and modern convience. Whether you are relaxing by the fire, hosting friends in the spacious living areas, or preparing a gourmet meal in the well-appointed kitchen, the home invites effortless enjoyment. Additional features elevate the experience: the enclosed expansive garage doubles as a game room, complete with a ping-pong table, while magical outdoor Italian lighting invites you to unwind under the stars after a day of exploration. Take in panoramic views of the Gulf of Mexico and sweeping mangrove forests. Witness spectacular sunrises, sunsets, moonrises, and moonsets. Discover five nearby bodies of water, or hop on one of the provided bikes to explore hidden local treasures. Fishing, snorkeling and beach gear are also included, giving you full access to the vibrant coastal ecosystem. It's more than a home it's a private island experience. Whether you're seeking adventure or serenity, this one-of-a-kind escape offers the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience, nature and comfort. Ideal for nature lovers, explorers, or anyone longing for a truly unforgettable stay on Florida's west coast.
