A rare opportunity to own one of Terra Ceia Island's most unique waterfront estates. This beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence is being offered as part of an exceptional two-home estate and must be purchased together with the adjoining bayfront residence (MLS #A4697047). Tucked privately on approximately one lush acre with a pond, this home offers the perfect setting for extended family, guests, a caretaker, or a private retreat. An extraordinary feature of this estate is that it consists of two separate Manatee County parcel IDs, providing a future owner the flexibility to maintain the estate as one remarkable property or explore selling the homes separately if desired. Inside, you'll find a light-filled 12x35 great room with vaulted ceilings, luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, granite countertops, and a relaxed Old Florida style that blends comfort with modern updates. Covered front and rear porches invite outdoor living, while the expansive grounds are surrounded by mature palms and tropical landscaping with ample room for a pool, RV parking, boat storage, and detached storage building. With no deed restrictions, you'll enjoy the freedom that's becoming increasingly difficult to find. Optional Terra Ceia Village Improvement Association membership (approximately $250 annually) provides access to the community waterfront park and boat ramp. Whether used as an in-law residence, guest home, income-producing rental, or private family compound, this home adds tremendous versatility to an already exceptional estate. Conveniently located with easy access to St. Petersburg, Tampa, Sarasota, and the Gulf beaches, yet surrounded by the peaceful charm of historic Terra Ceia Island. An added bonus: neither residence sustained damage during the 2024 hurricanes, offering peace of mind in one of Florida's most treasured island communities.
