Legacy Riverfront Estate with Private Dock and Guesthouse
Palmetto, Manatee County, Florida
A Riverfront Retreat Where Coastal Living Meets Tranquility..
Immerse yourself in the serene rhythm of riverfront living in this custom-built coastal retreat on the Manatee River. Designed to embrace stillness, nature, and an effortless indoor–outdoor lifestyle, this home offers panoramic water views from nearly every room, whether you’re unwinding on the wraparound porch, greeting the morning from the owner’s suite balcony, or relaxing on the private deck of the guesthouse above the oversized two-car garage.
Set on nearly one acre of lush, park-like grounds, the property feels like a secluded Old Florida sanctuary. Ancient 100+ year-old live oaks, breezy palms, and tropical gardens create a meditative backdrop that enhances the home’s peaceful, retreat-like atmosphere.
Inspired by coastal architecture and elevated with thoughtful craftsmanship, the main home features 3,411 sq ft, 3 bedrooms, and 2.5 baths, while a separate 600 sq ft studio with full bath offers flexible space for guests, a creative hideaway, or a private wellness retreat. Over 3,500 sq ft of covered porches invite you to slow down, breathe deeply, and live immersed in the river breeze.
A 320-foot dock with a 10,000 lb lift extends your living space into the river itself, a quiet place to meditate at sunrise, watch dolphins and manatees drift by, or cast a fishing line as pelicans glide overhead. 275 sqft of climate controlled and dehumidified storage space will keep all your gear ready and protected.
All of this tranquility is perfectly balanced by proximity to vibrant coastal life: minutes to downtown St. Pete, the Bradenton Riverwalk, and the Gulf beaches, as well as dining, shopping, and cultural destinations.
More than a home, this is a waterfront sanctuary designed for mindful living, creative inspiration, and unforgettable moments on the Manatee River.
