About this property
An extraordinary opportunity to create a custom waterfront estate on coveted Norsota Way, where spectacular panoramic views stretch across Sarasota Bay to the downtown skyline and Ringling Bridge. Positioned on an exceptional 0.57-acre homesite in the prestigious Bay Island neighborhood of Siesta Key, this rare property offers an impressive 370 feet of combined water frontage, including approximately 168 feet directly on Sarasota Bay and 202 feet along the protected yacht basin. With expansive open-water views, a generous homesite, and exceptional boating access, this is a remarkable setting for a one-of-a-kind Sarasota waterfront residence.
The property's distinctive configuration offers the best of both worlds: sweeping, unobstructed views across the open bay and the convenience of protected water frontage along the adjoining yacht basin.

The extensive water frontage creates exceptional possibilities for designing a residence that embraces Sarasota's boating lifestyle.
Spanning approximately 25,040 square feet, the cleared homesite provides an expansive canvas for a thoughtfully designed custom estate. Its generous dimensions and remarkable waterfront setting offer opportunities to incorporate substantial indoor and outdoor living spaces, expansive terraces, a resort-style pool, and beautifully landscaped grounds. Imagine walls of glass framing panoramic bay views, generous entertaining areas overlooking the water, and a private outdoor retreat designed around Sarasota's spectacular coastal scenery. The property's concrete seawall, irrigation well, and available public utilities add to its appeal as a premier waterfront building opportunity.
Located on coveted Norsota Way within the established Bay Island neighborhood, the property is just moments from the mainland and the beaches of Siesta Key. This distinctive waterfront enclave is known for its beautiful homes, mature landscaping, and convenient access to Sarasota's finest amenities. Enjoy nearby Southside Village, with its popular restaurants, boutiques, and neighborhood charm, as well as convenient access to Sarasota Memorial Hospital, Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, and Downtown Sarasota's vibrant dining, shopping, theaters, galleries, and cultural attractions.
