Welcome to Indian Beach / Sapphire Shores - home to some of the finest historical architecture in all of Sarasota! And today, much like 100 years ago, it is being rediscovered by those with vision, appreciation and means. This coastal neighborhood has been a coveted location since around the time of its “founding” residents like the Ringling family and other prominent early Sarasotans. Coastal estates, tree-lined streets and waterfront parks define this area. Water birds and peacocks are regular visitors. Positioned perfectly between Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport (SRQ) and downtown Sarasota, this waterfront lot offers some of the longest views to the West across Sarasota Bay and the Intracoastal Waterway. Longboat Key, St. Armands Key and the Ringling Bridge frame the horizon by day and provide distant lights at night. Coastal breezes always surround you; sunsets are, as you might imagine, spectacular. Driving down Indian Beach Lane toward this extraordinary homesite provides a grand approach and beautiful introduction to this special location. Already cleared and elevated in preparation for a large contemporary estate, this nearly 1 acre lot offers generous buildable space and valuable privacy for your vision of home. This particular location on Sarasota Bay also provides one of the most coveted features of all – boatable water to the site. Whether it's a luxury yacht or something a bit more modest, access and dockage will be effortless. This homesite sits amongst other significant luxury homes – elegant coastal to the North, Mediterranean to the South with vintage and contemporary to the East. A site study including surveys and analysis is available as are plans from the most celebrated renowned builders in the region. Or create your own masterpiece…your canvas awaits!
