Property Description

HUGE PRICE REDUCTION! Welcome to Florida’s hidden gem, Terra Ceia Island. Come experience island living on Tampa Bay, where timeless island charm meets modern coastal luxury. Perfectly positioned near the foot of the iconic Sunshine Skyway Bridge and overlooking peaceful waters that connect to Terra Ceia Bay and Tampa Bay, this custom-built, architect-designed Key West–inspired residence offers spectacular saltwater lakefront views and DEEDED GULF ACCESS. From the moment you arrive, soaring royal queen palms frame the fully fenced and double-gated estate, while seashell-lined pathways and lush landscaping set the tone for private island elegance amongst the .53-acre homesite, which offers rare flexibility with ample space for RVs, boats, and trailers. NO HOA or deed restrictions create an extraordinary waterfront compound designed for relaxation, recreation and entertainment. Inside, a grand covered porch and double French doors welcome you into a soaring great room featuring exposed wood beams, a dramatic wood-burning fireplace with carved mantle and stone surround, and sophisticated custom built-ins. Dual staircases enhance the home’s architectural presence, blending idyllic Old Florida character with elevated modern design. The flexible floor plan offers 4 spacious bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and multiple bonus spaces ideal for entertaining and multi-generational living. Three guest suites showcase beautifully redesigned ensuite baths with artisan tilework and premium finishes. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, featuring vaulted beam ceilings, French doors opening to expansive balconies, an oversized walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath complete with freestanding soaking tub, oversized walk-in shower, antique vanities, designer details, and abundant natural light. An adjoining bonus room with private deck access offers the perfect space for a home office, fitness studio, or nursery overlooking the saltwater lake. At the heart of the home, the gourmet chef’s kitchen impresses with panoramic water views, quartz and granite countertops, soft-close custom cabinetry, farmhouse sink, under-cabinet lighting, new appliances, and a generous center island ideal for gathering. A dedicated laundry room sits conveniently nearby and a BRAND-NEW HVAC was just added. The ground level features a versatile game room with bath, home theater space, entertainment quarters, abundant storage, an oversized two-car garage with workshop and new epoxy flooring, plus a private lift from the ground to main living level. Step outside to fish from your private saltwater lakefront oasis or launch into Terra Ceia Bay from your community deeded dock straight to the Gulf. Despite its serene island setting, this home offers exceptional accessibility—just 15 minutes to downtown Bradenton, 25 minutes to downtown St. Petersburg, 30 minutes to Tampa, and convenient to Sarasota. Enjoy nearby natural treasures such as Terra Ceia Preserve State Park, Madira Bickel Mound State Archaeological Site, and Emerson Point Preserve. World-renowned Gulf beaches including Anna Maria Island, St. Pete Beach, and Clearwater Beach are just a short drive away. This is more than a home; it’s a rare opportunity to own a saltwater lakefront estate with deeded Gulf access in the heart of Tampa Bay, where boating, fishing, entertaining, and tranquil island living come together seamlessly. Come experience why Terra Ceia has been known as “Land Heavenly.” Schedule your private showing today.
