Property Description
A Rare Riverfront Estate Offering Privacy, Acreage, and City Access
Set along the Manatee River on nearly one acre, this custom riverfront estate offers something increasingly hard to find: space, privacy, and infrastructure—without isolation. Located in Palmetto, this property delivers a true small-town, country-like feel while remaining within easy reach of Sarasota (13 miles), downtown St. Petersburg (18 miles), and Tampa (approximately 40 miles).
Designed for flexible living, working, and hosting, the main residence spans 3,411 square feet with three bedrooms and 2.5 baths, complemented by covered wraparound porches that invite indoor-outdoor living year-round. Panoramic river views are visible from nearly every room, creating a sense of calm and continuity throughout the home.
A separate 600-square-foot studio with full bath, located above the oversized two-car garage, provides exceptional versatility—ideal for multi-generational living, a private guest suite, creative studio, or dedicated work-from-home retreat.
What truly sets this property apart is its exceptional infrastructure and storage capacity, rarely found in waterfront homes. A full 3,000-square-foot crawl space with approximately five feet of height offers substantial, practical storage for seasonal items, equipment, or long-term use. An additional approximately 150-square-foot climate-controlled, dehumidified storage building on the property further expands functionality.
Outdoor amenities include a saltwater pool and spa, century-old live oaks, and a private dock extending approximately 320 feet into the river with a 10,000-lb lift—ideal for boating, fishing, and wildlife viewing. Dock improvements were completed in both 2022 and 2024, enhancing long-term usability and peace of mind.
Inside, the home features Viking commercial appliances, granite countertops, custom wood cabinetry, hardwood floors, detailed millwork, a double-sided gas fireplace, impact-rated windows and doors, newer Trane HVAC systems, whole-home audio, central vacuum, and smart-home features. Wellness elements include reverse osmosis water filtration, whole-home salt-based filtration, sauna, and cold plunge.
Despite its private, retreat-like setting, the home is minutes from downtown St.Petersburg, the Bradenton Riverwalk, Sarasota, and Gulf beaches—offering a rare blend of waterfront seclusion and regional accessibility.
Discover a rare Manatee River estate thoughtfully designed for multi-generational living, creative pursuits, and inspired work-from-home flexibility. This custom coastal retreat blends privacy, serenity, and separation of space, allowing multiple generations or lifestyles to coexist with ease, all set against sweeping river views and nearly one acre of park-like grounds.
More than a home, this is a flexible riverfront estate where lifestyle, creativity, and connection come together.
