Property Description

Tucked away on one of Terra Ceia’s most unique and sought-after streets, this exceptional Horseshoe Loop estate captures what Old Florida living was always meant to be. Set on 5 private acres of mangrove forest and natural landscape, the property delivers complete seclusion while offering rare western-facing sunset views and sweeping 360-degree vistas of trees, sky, and water. Behind a secured gated entry, a winding paver drive leads to a custom-built, three-level residence designed to endure the elements while embracing the outdoors. Built with intention and strength, the home features a 5V 50-year standing seam metal roof, Hardie board concrete siding, Trex decking, and custom wood-framed windows with metal accordion storm panels for the expansive glass openings. Inside, a dramatic two-story foyer sets the tone. The main living level offers three bedrooms, including a primary suite, along with a grand kitchen anchored by a commercial-grade refrigerator, center island, and casual dining nook. Formal living and dining spaces open seamlessly to a 50-foot covered porch with rich wood ceiling accents—an ideal setting to take in coastal breezes and nightly sunsets. Upstairs, a massive loft provides flexible living space, complemented by a full bath, fourth bedroom or office, and a skydeck showcasing panoramic views that stretch from the Sunshine Skyway Bridge to Tropicana Field, Bradenton, and Anna Maria Island. The ground level is built for lifestyle and function. A six-plus car garage with soaring ceilings offers room for lifts, along with a deep boat bay, workshop, RV/camper storage, and ample space for a home gym, golf simulator, or serious gear storage. Outdoors, an oversized saltwater pool with expansive decking creates a true entertaining retreat. Additional features include an electric dumbwaiter, a 1,000 lb aluminum exterior lift for guests or furnishings, and a private well with irrigation. With no deed restrictions and a strong sense of community through the Terra Ceia Village, this property offers both freedom and connection. This is a place where preservation matters, history is valued, and the pace of life slows just enough to enjoy it. Escape the traffic. Escape the noise. Five acres of Old Florida privacy, sunsets, and possibility—bring the fishing poles, the hammock, and yes, even the chickens.
