Property Description

What would it feel like to build your Florida home in a quiet natural setting, then enjoy your own separate piece of Alligator Creek waterfront? This South Venice offering includes TWO SEPARATE PARCELS sold together totaling approximately 0.48 acres/21,068 sq ft: an approximately 0.18-acre homesite along Lemon Bay Drive and a separate approximately 0.30-acre riparian parcel with roughly 80 feet of Alligator Creek frontage. For the buyer who would rather preserve capital than commit the entire purchase price at closing, the seller is willing to consider seller financing with substantial down payment terms and a term of up to 5 years, subject to seller approval and mutually acceptable final terms. Imagine a custom Florida home designed around the way you want to live: quiet mornings outside, evenings near the water, a kayak ready for a paddle, a fishing rod close by, or simply a place to enjoy the creek. Subject to permitting and site conditions, a dock or pier may provide access for kayaking, fishing or a suitable boat. NO MANDATORY HOA. Alligator Creek continues west toward the Intracoastal Waterway and Lemon Bay within an established waterfront corridor where properties along Lemon Bay Drive include docks, fishing piers and kayak access. Water depth, tides, bridge clearance, navigability and vessel suitability should be independently verified. Lot 37, Parcel 0456-09-0044, is approximately 0.18 acre, a legal lot of record with RSF-3 zoning and MODR Future Land Use previously verified with Sarasota County. Separate riparian Parcel 0456-09-0040 is approximately 0.30 acre with approximately 80 feet of Alligator Creek frontage. MLS-reported dimensions are approximately 263.35' x 80'. Dock or pier feasibility is subject to permitting and agency approval. South Venice offers optional amenities without mandatory HOA dues, including the South Venice Beach Ferry, Boat Ramp and Kayak/Canoe/Paddleboard Launch. Current published 2026 pricing is approximately $200/year for the ferry, $150/year for Boat Ramp access and $100/year for the paddle launch. Pricing, eligibility, rules, schedules and amenities may change; buyers should verify current information. Approximate drive times: South Venice Beach Ferry 3-5 minutes, Manasota Beach 5-8 minutes, Historic Downtown Venice 8-10 minutes, Venice Beach and Caspersen Beach 10-12 minutes. Nearby Shamrock Park offers paved trails with connections to Venetian Waterway Park and the Legacy Trail network. Drive times are estimates. Electric is available at the street. Central water and sewer are not available at the homesite; well and septic are anticipated. Flood conditions include AE and Floodway designations. IMPORTANT: The homesite and Alligator Creek parcel are separate parcels, not one continuous waterfront homesite. Buyer and buyer's agent should independently verify parcel configuration, boundaries, acreage, zoning, buildability, utilities, well/septic, flood and environmental conditions, water depth/navigability, bridge clearance, dock/pier feasibility and permitting, amenity access and fees, measurements, drive times and intended use with applicable authorities.
