Sarasota Luxury Bayfront Estate
1.4 acre estate with 150 feet of waterfront on the bay. Located between Sarasota and Naples, two of Florida’s top destinations, yet it rewards with a more private, laid-back ambiance. The turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico are just just a 10-15 minute boat ride via Stump Pass, and it’s only a 10 minute drive to Downtown Venice.
