730 N River Rd, Venice, FL 34293

With spectacular River and Preserve views, a fully installed boat dock and automated lift, and an ideal location in the prestigious Myakka River Trails community; this lot is undeniably the premier riverfront parcel of land along the prized Myakka River. This property epitomizes the beauty that the early Florida pioneers described; a rambling river, moss laden live oaks, graceful arching sabal palms, regal cabbage palms and exquisite native orchids. Sited at the end of a quiet street and across the river from the Sarasota County Deer Prairie Preserve, the beauty of this land will be protected forever. The often coined phrase "Old Florida" can be accurately used to describe this place. Envision your personal riverfront estate...would it include a guest house? Stables for your horses? A private lanai with magnificent river views? The possibilities are as endless as your imagination. On the practical side, the arduous process of obtaining permits for a dock and lift has already been completed, the parcel has a relatively narrow conservation easement that will allow for building closer to the river, and there is no timeframe for when building must begin. Fine amenities of the gated Myakka River Trails neighborhood are nearby; they include a community pool and clubhouse, lighted tennis courts, horse and hiking trails, and a children's play area. The entertainment district of historic Venice Island and area beaches are a short drive away, as is access to I75 and all that Southwest Florida has to offer.
