Property Description
It's all about location. Just a short drive from Sarasota, Longboat Key offers unrivaled natural beauty in a coastal retreat. This home/land lot is a 1/3-acre with 100 feet of canal frontage on the desired south side of Longboat Key, and so close to the beach is about as good as it gets. The improvement can be inspected for remediation, and the generous lot features a healthy and substantial seawall on a private and quiet street, offering a golden opportunity for a luxury new build. Seller will offer house plans from a reputable LBK coastal builder, Brista Homes (plan buyer expense). The Buttonwood Community has been touted by the Longboat Observer as the neighborliest neighborhood on Longboat Key and is unique for having its safe harbor, boat ramp and boat slips up to 28 feet for its residents. Florida remains the envy of the country, with many of our markets winning awards for being among the best places to live or retire. It's all about connectivity. Sarasota SRQ Airport's soaring success added 20 flights, 20% passenger growth, a new runway and terminal in 2024, ranks No. 1 for the fastest-growing airport in the U.S., and ranks No. 1 best resort airport in the entire country, where passengers can get off a plane and feel like their vacation has begun. It's all about investment. Beyond the numbers is the intangible and powerful increase in consumer confidence, which has always proven to enormously influence the housing market, especially luxury and second-home purchases. Longboat Key is the only barrier island on the West Coast of Florida to have relocated all overhead utilities underground for improved reliability and aesthetics, and LBK landed on the Forbes Travel Guide's list of Top 12 Destinations for 2025. Gov. Ron Desantis announced February 20, 2026, another record-breaking year for tourism in Florida welcomed 143.3 million visitors throughout 2025. An estimated 33.5 million visitors as the highest fourth quarter for visitation on record. According to the release, Florida is the #1 domestic travel destination in the U.S. and a standout choice for international visitors.
