Set on a one-of-a-kind double waterfront lot, this property delivers direct access to the Manatee River, expansive outdoor space, and the freedom of no HOA restrictions - a combination that is nearly impossible to replicate at this price point. Here, Old Florida charm meets wide-open possibility. Enjoy effortless boating with a straight route to Tampa Bay and the Gulf, plus ample room at home for boats, RVs, trailers, jet skis, work trucks, and every lifestyle toy imaginable, something few waterfront properties can offer. The setting feels private and relaxed, framed by mature trees and the steady rhythm of the river, yet remains just minutes from downtown Bradenton, riverfront dining, marinas, parks, and cultural destinations. The existing home is welcoming, functional, and move-in ready, allowing you to enjoy the waterfront lifestyle immediately. At the same time, the double lot creates an exceptional canvas ideal for expansion, redesign, or building a custom riverfront estate while maintaining privacy, open space, and direct water access. Morning sunrises light the backyard, afternoons invite you onto the water, and evenings settle into breezy golden light that only true riverfront living provides.
