Property Details

Description

Under contract-accepting backup offers. RARE SOUTH VENICE OPPORTUNITY! Offered together with the adjacent 8,000± SF vacant lot at 0 Magnolia Rd (255 Magnolia Rd, MLS#N6145898), this property presents an exceptional combination of immediate usability, outdoor living, investment potential, and future flexibility. The existing one-level 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath concrete-block home offers approximately 1,001 heated SF, central HVAC, porcelain tile, concrete and laminate wood flooring, and an open kitchen with peninsula breakfast bar and separate dry bar. Covered parking and storage add convenience. The beautifully landscaped property features mature tropical plantings and privacy, creating a true Florida outdoor retreat. Enjoy the paved patio, fire pit, gazebo with outdoor kitchen, garden beds, outdoor bird cage, and large chicken coop—an inviting setting for entertaining, gardening, hobbies, or simply enjoying the Florida lifestyle. The adjoining vacant parcel creates multiple possibilities for the next owner. Use the existing home as a personal residence, seasonal retreat, or rental property while preserving the adjacent lot for future development. Subject to Sarasota County zoning, permitting, and applicable approvals, the RSF-3 parcels may provide an opportunity to construct an additional residence on the vacant lot or explore combining the parcels to create a larger homesite. Buyers should independently verify all development potential, setbacks, density, parcel-merger requirements, and permitted uses with Sarasota County. Enjoy the lifestyle advantages of South Venice, including access to the community boat ramp and Beach Ferry through separate annual membership, subject to eligibility, current fees, and Trust rules. The Beach Ferry provides access to the private South Venice beach on Manasota Key. Ideally positioned west of US 41/S Tamiami Trail with convenient access to Venice Island, Gulf beaches, boating, golf, shopping, restaurants, and waterfront attractions. Whether you're seeking a Florida home with room to expand, an investment with additional land, a future build site, or the opportunity to create a larger homesite, this unique two-parcel offering provides options rarely found in South Venice. Home and adjacent lot are being sold As-Is and are both Zoned X500, where flood insurance is not federally required by FEMA or law because it is outside the high-risk Special Flood Hazard Area. The vacant lot is a separate legal parcel and is offered in conjunction with the home but sold separately.
