Welcome to an extraordinary expression of Florida living in The Islands on the Manatee River, an award-winning gated boating community recognized as Best Overall Community (Category 3) in the 2026 Parade of Homes—for an impressive eighth year. From the moment you arrive, life moves at a different pace. Graceful palms, shimmering waterways, beautiful architecture and lush tropical landscapes create an unmistakable sense of arrival, where the spirit of coastal Florida is part of everyday life.

Step inside to soaring 10' to 12'8" ceilings, three architectural tray ceilings and abundant natural light as the open design draws your eye toward the pool and lush preserve beyond. At the heart of the home, the kitchen overlooks the expansive Great Room, keeping everyone connected. GE appliances, solid-wood cabinetry, an expansive island and large pantry combine beauty and function, while the adjoining morning room is perfect for casual meals and morning coffee. The split floor plan features three spacious bedrooms and three full baths, including two en-suites and a third serving as the pool bath. A generous study with solid wood flooring and distinctive rotunda detail creates an inspiring retreat, while a separate bonus room offers endless possibilities as a media room, game room, office or private lounge. Then, open the doors and let life move outdoors. An expanded travertine lanai surrounds a sparkling saltwater pool, spa and cascading waterfall, all framed by the peaceful preserve. Spend afternoons poolside, unwind in the spa, or gather around the custom outdoor kitchen while dinner slowly smokes on the Memphis pellet grill/smoker. With no rear neighbor directly beyond, nature becomes your backdrop and privacy part of the experience. Beautiful tropical landscaping enhances the nearly half-acre setting, while hurricane-impact windows and plantation shutters add comfort and peace of mind. The three-car garage, expanded by approximately 100 square feet, features a mini-split system, added insulation and upgraded LED lighting—creating an ideal climate-controlled workspace for the hobbyist, craftsman or car enthusiast. Throughout, thoughtful care and purposeful enhancements are evident. Beyond your private retreat lies The Islands on the Manatee River—a community shaped by water, nature and coastal Florida living. Beautiful waterways wind through the neighborhood, where boating is part of the culture and the Manatee River becomes your gateway to Florida’s spectacular waterways. Begin the morning with coffee overlooking the preserve, spend the afternoon on the water or beside your pool, then return home for dinner beneath the lanai as the Florida evening unfolds. Timeless architecture. Nearly half an acre. Private preserve views. Resort-inspired outdoor living. An award-winning boating community. This is more than a beautiful home. It is where every day feels a little more like a Florida escape.
