Buildable luxury subdivision with additional dockage allowed
Marketing description
A Private Waterfront Estate with Development Potential | 9.64± Acres | 3 Parcels
Welcome to Mariner’s Retreat, an extraordinary waterfront estate and development opportunity in the heart of historic Terra Ceia, Florida. Nestled along over 475 feet of pristine shoreline on Tillette Bayou and Terra Ceia Bay, this rare Old Florida sanctuary spans nearly 10 acres across three parcels, offering a seamless blend of private coastal living and investment-grade land. Anchoring the estate is a meticulously updated, three-story residence encompassing over 3,600 square feet under air. Renovated in 2018 and featuring impact-rated windows and doors, updated kitchen and baths, new flooring, lighting, and a 2023 HVAC system, the home is move-in ready. A new roof is scheduled for installation, and mangrove trimming is underway to enhance the sweeping water views—all the way to the iconic Sunshine Skyway Bridge. From the private dock, enjoy direct boating access to Terra Ceia Bay and the Gulf of Mexico in minutes. Whether it’s world-class fishing, dolphin sightings, or serene sunset cruises, life here flows with the rhythms of the water. Beyond the residence, the offering includes two development parcels across the street—totaling over 8 acres of upland terrain with mature Florida landscape. Supported by a completed environmental study, the land holds the potential for a future single family subdivision under PD-R zoning and a RES-1 land use designation.
