Lemon Bay Drive, Venice, FL 34293

Property Description

This South Venice property invites you to think beyond simply building a house. Imagine creating a custom Florida home in a natural setting, paired with a separate parcel along Alligator Creek offering approximately 80 feet of waterfront. Subject to permitting and site conditions, a dock or pier could provide a place to launch a kayak, keep a suitable boat, fish, or simply enjoy the water. And there is NO MANDATORY HOA. Alligator Creek continues west toward the Intracoastal Waterway and Lemon Bay, within an established waterfront corridor where properties along Lemon Bay Drive include docks, fishing piers and kayak access. Water depth, tides, bridge clearance, navigability and vessel suitability should be independently verified. TWO SEPARATE PARCELS are sold together totaling approximately 0.48 acres/21,068 sq ft. Lot 37, Parcel 0456-09-0044, is approximately 0.18 acre, a legal lot of record with RSF-3 zoning and MODR Future Land Use previously verified with Sarasota County. Separate riparian Parcel 0456-09-0040 is approximately 0.30 acre with approximately 80 feet of Alligator Creek frontage. MLS-reported dimensions are approximately 263.35' x 80'. Dock or pier feasibility is subject to permitting and agency approval. South Venice offers optional amenities without mandatory HOA dues. Current published 2026 pricing is approximately $200/year for the South Venice Beach Ferry, $150/year for Boat Ramp access and $100/year for the Kayak/Canoe/Paddleboard Launch. The ferry crosses the Intracoastal Waterway to South Venice Beach on Manasota Key. Optional South Venice Civic Association membership is currently approximately $70/year each household and includes community activities, member benefits and four lighted pickleball courts. Pricing, eligibility, rules, schedules and amenities may change; buyers should verify current information directly with the respective organizations. Approximate drive times: South Venice Beach Ferry 3-5 minutes, Manasota Beach 5-8 minutes, Historic Downtown Venice 8-10 minutes, Venice Beach and Caspersen Beach 10-12 minutes, and Capri Isles/Waterford golf 12-15 minutes. Nearby Shamrock Park offers paved trails along the Intracoastal with connections to Venetian Waterway Park and the Legacy Trail network. Drive times are estimates. Electric is available at the street. Central water and sewer are not available at the homesite; well and septic are anticipated. Flood conditions include AE and Floodway designations. IMPORTANT: The homesite and Alligator Creek parcel are separate parcels, not one continuous waterfront homesite. Buyer and buyer's agent should independently verify parcel configuration, boundaries, acreage, zoning, buildability, utilities, well/septic, flood and environmental conditions, water depth/navigability, bridge clearance, dock/pier feasibility and permitting, amenity access and fees, measurements, drive times and intended use with applicable authorities.
