Discover a rare opportunity to build your custom dream home in the exclusive gated community of The Islands on the Manatee River. This spacious estate homesite of approximately 0.44 acres provides the perfect canvas for creating a luxury residence surrounded by the natural beauty of Florida’s Gulf Coast. The Islands on the Manatee River is a private island community set along the scenic Manatee River, offering an exceptional lifestyle defined by boating, nature, and luxury custom homes. Spanning approximately 225 acres with only 178 homesites, the neighborhood is designed to provide privacy, space, and a true sense of retreat while remaining close to everything the Sarasota and Lakewood Ranch areas have to offer. Residents enjoy access to the stunning River Lodge, a beautifully designed riverfront clubhouse that serves as the social heart of the community. Amenities include gathering spaces, a fitness center, catering kitchen, outdoor terraces, fire pit, bocce courts, and a community dock where residents can relax and enjoy picturesque river views. The community offers estate-sized homesites and a bring-your-own-builder approach, allowing buyers the flexibility to design and build a custom home tailored to their vision. With no CDD fees and a limited number of homesites available, opportunities to build in this prestigious neighborhood are becoming increasingly rare. Ideally located near the Fort Hamer Bridge, residents enjoy quick access to Lakewood Ranch, I-75, Sarasota, and the beautiful Gulf Coast beaches. Shopping, dining, golf, and world-class cultural attractions are all just a short drive away while the community itself maintains a peaceful, private island atmosphere. This exceptional homesite offers the chance to create a one-of-a-kind custom residence in one of Parrish’s most distinctive and sought-after luxury communities.
