1267 STARBOARD LANE, Sarasota, FL

A rare opportunity on Siesta Key’s Little Sarasota Bay. Positioned at the end of a quiet street in the established Midnight Harbor neighborhood, this 0.45-acre bayfront lot offers 287 feet of water frontage, approximately 92 feet along the bay and 195 feet along a protected saltwater canal, creating water on two sides and expansive open water views. The property is being offered for land value and presents an exceptional canvas for a new custom bayfront estate. The existing structure is not being marketed for renovation, allowing a buyer or builder to focus fully on designing a residence that maximizes the site’s orientation, water views and waterfront lifestyle potential. The bayside seawall was replaced in 2014, along with 20 feet of canal seawall. The protected canal frontage provides practical boating access with sailboat water and no fixed bridges, allowing direct navigation to the Intracoastal Waterway and Gulf beyond. The depth of the lot and the dual water exposure create compelling opportunities for architectural design, outdoor living spaces and waterfront amenities. The site is enhanced by mature coastal trees that contribute character and scale, elements often absent in newly created waterfront parcels. With nearly half an acre and substantial waterfront exposure, the property offers the scale required for a significant new coastal residence designed to modern building standards and elevated construction. Just minutes from Siesta Beach and offering convenient access to the mainland via the Stickney Point Bridge, the setting combines island privacy with proximity to Sarasota’s dining, cultural and entertainment districts. Waterfront redevelopment opportunities with this amount of bay and canal frontage on Siesta Key are increasingly limited, making this property a compelling investment for a builder, developer or buyer seeking to create a legacy waterfront home.
