To see this exquisite beach-to-bay residence will simply take your breath away.
756 N Manasota Key Road is not just an address; it is a commanding, dual-waterfront sanctuary representing one of the rarest land assets on Florida's Gulf Coast. Spanning seamlessly from the turquoise horizon of the Gulf of Mexico to the protected, deep-water channels of Lemon Bay, this exceptional legacy estate offers an unrepeatable coastal lifestyle defined by absolute privacy and natural grandeur. Cherished by the same family for nearly 30 years, this compound-sized setting features an extraordinary 155 ft of direct Gulf frontage, 155 ft of bay frontage, and nearly 299 ft of depth, capturing sweeping, unobstructed water views, spectacular Gulf sunsets, and tranquil bay sunrises.
The estate offers 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and 4,033 sq ft of living space, comprising a 3-bedroom, 3-bath main home (3,073 sq ft) and a private, independent 2-bedroom guest apartment above the garage (960 sq ft) with its own living room-ideal for multi-generational families, long-term guests, or a caretaker suite. Designed to embrace the outdoors, multiple windowed doors open to the pool, beach, and bay. The main living area features dramatic cathedral ceilings, warm cypress accents, custom built-ins, surround sound, and sliders to the screened pool area. A bayfront dining room is framed by high-end Andersen windows to capture the morning light, while the premium kitchen enjoys direct water views from the sink, featuring solid wood cabinetry, a Thermador cooktop, GE double ovens, a GE Monogram refrigerator, two pantries, and breakfast bar seating. Outdoor living showcases a heated pool and an expansive 18x48 open lanai just steps from the sand.
On the bay, a private 89-ft dock re-decked in 2025 is fully equipped with water, electric, and a fish cleaning station, allowing for convenient boating along Lemon Bay and immediate, deep-water access through Stump Pass to the open Gulf. Curate the perfect day on the water by heading south to local waterfront favorites, including Beachcomber Trading Post, The Lighthouse Grill, or Magnolias on the Bay for lunch, and The Waverly Restaurant & Bar for evening cocktails.
Beyond the premier location on the coveted, private north end of the Key, the fully fenced property provides incredible peace of mind with major capital improvements: an elevation of ~12.9 feet, a 2021 metal roof, full impact windows and doors, three newer AC systems (2018, 2022, 2023), a 2016 septic system, modern PVC plumbing, and a brand-new 2025 pool cage.
Whether envisioned as a multi-generational compound, an architectural masterpiece, or a preserved tropical retreat, this property delivers a lifestyle that simply cannot be duplicated. Optional area highlights include the Manasota Key Club-offering pickleball, bocce, tennis, a community pool, fine dining, walking paths, and vacation cottages for guest rentals-and the nearby Hermitage Artist's Retreat, a renowned incubator hosting global artists right on Manasota's Gulf-front campus. This is a rare combination of dual-waterfront scale, absolute privacy, superior boating access, and breathtaking natural beauty.
