## Description

### Agent Description
Create your custom coastal retreat or bring the seller's thoughtfully prepared plans to life at 561 Gulf Bay Road. This rare 9,990-square-foot vacant homesite is ideally located in the heart of Longboat Key, between the charm of Anna Maria Island and the sophistication of St. Armands Circle. Bordering the 32-acre Joan M. Durante Community Park, the property offers exceptional privacy, peaceful natural surroundings, and convenient access to scenic walking trails, a picnic pavilion, and picturesque views of Sarasota Bay and the Sarasota skyline. Imagine watching eagles, ospreys, and other native wildlife from your future home or backyard. With no HOA or deed restrictions, you have the flexibility to personalize the available plans or design a custom residence that reflects your vision and lifestyle. The property also includes deeded beach access to a quiet stretch of white sand along the Gulf of Mexico, allowing you to enjoy the best of both Gulf and bay living. Nearby destinations include Euphemia Haye, Harry's Continental Kitchens, boutique shopping, and a neighborhood deli, with additional dining, recreation, shopping, and entertainment available throughout Longboat Key, Anna Maria Island, and Sarasota. Underground utility improvements throughout the area are complete. Previously prepared plans for a custom single-family residence and an elevation study are available upon request, providing an excellent starting point for your future island home. Buyers should independently verify current building requirements and property suitability. This is a special opportunity to build in one of Longboat Key's most naturally beautiful and desirable locations. Schedule your private showing and begin planning your Florida coastal lifestyle. Representative Photos Added to listing showcase preliminary renderings showcasing Conditioned Square Footage of 4,936 and Unconditioned Square Footage of 4,053.
