Bay Isles Real Estate for Sale for Sale

Bay Isles

Owning Sarasota real estate is comparable to being on holiday 365 days a year. The awesome sunsets, ever present golf tournaments, and boat races are just a smattering of the reasons for this. Longboat Key is a special treat for those lucky enough to own there. All the nearby amenities and attractions are complimented by the long stretch of pristine beaches making Longboat Key real estate for sale one of the most desirable residential destinations in all Florida.

In November of 1955, Longboat Key was incorporated after initially slow development gradually reached its apex in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. The Town Commissions eventually imposed more rigid zoning laws and paved the way for sewage and town water in the 70's. It was felt then that the new utilities could serve a median population of around 26,000. Today there are almost no undeveloped privately owned tracts of land over a couple of acres in size remaining.

Resting just beyond the gates of the prestigious Longboat Key Club with its 27 hole golf course, tennis courts, and marina, and located at 2111 Gulf Mexico Dr is the luxurious real estate for sale at Bay Isles. This upscale residential development is composed of 209 stunning bayfront properties including courtyard homes, villas, townhouses, and single family homes. They’re all rest within several individual neighborhoods including Grand Bay, The Bayou, Weston Pointe, Queens Harbor, Harbor Oaks and Fairway Bay all boasting verdant, well maintained landscaping and interior treatments to please even the most demanding buyer.

Bay Isles homes for sale are presented in varying architectural designs, with the residents on the north side of the water afforded stunning views of the bay and those on the deep canal featuring private boat berths right in their own back yards. Bay Isles is 24 hour key card gated and boasts meandering nature trails, charming street lights, and a marina. The floor plans for the diverse home styles range from 2,200 to over 6,000 square feet and feature price points beginning around $500,000 on up to around $3 million. Upon buying at Bay Isles, full membership to the Bay Isles Beach Club, is included which automatically grants access to Longboat Key Beach.

Just across Gulf of Mexico Drive is The Beach Club located mere minutes from the Bay Isles property. This private and gated beachfront club features picnic areas and restroom facilities. Nearby St. Armands Circle offers Bay Isles residents unlimited shopping at around 130 boutiques and international gourmet restaurants spread around its delightful grounds. Longboat Key also has easy access, via 2 bridges, to the golf and shopping of Bradenton and the entertainment and arts of downtown Sarasota.
