Prime Waterfront Opportunity on the Grand Canal – Holmes Beach, Anna Maria Island Nestled along the expansive Grand Canal—the largest and most sought after on Anna Maria Island—this rare vacant lot presents an extraordinary canvas for discerning buyers seeking unparalleled waterfront luxury. Fully cleared following the October 2025 demolition of the previous residence, this highly desirable parcel offers sweeping, unobstructed water views and direct, deep-water access ideal for boating, fishing, and the quintessential island lifestyle. In one of Florida's most coveted beach towns—where pristine white-sand shores, boutique shopping, acclaimed dining, and a timeless, laid-back ambiance draw residents and visitors alike—this location is among the most sought-after on the island. Moments from the Gulf of Mexico's turquoise waters, yet embraced by the serene beauty of the canal, the property promises a lifestyle of effortless elegance and natural tranquility. A significant advantage awaits the astute buyer: Manatee County's impact fee policies generally provide credit for the prior residential structure on replacement builds (without a strict 2-year time limit for the credit to apply, though prompt action is recommended amid evolving fee schedules). This can substantially reduce costs for a new custom residence compared to entirely new development elsewhere. (Buyer and buyers representation strongly encouraged to consult directly with Manatee County Development Services for site-specific confirmation, as policies are subject to the current ordinance.) With generous dimensions and the island's signature waterfront allure—qualities increasingly scarce in this paradise—this lot invites the creation of a bespoke estate tailored to your vision: a modern coastal masterpiece with private dock, infinity-edge pool, and expansive terraces framing panoramic sunsets, the possibilities are endless. For those envisioning their ultimate Florida retreat, this is a singular chance to craft a legacy property in one of the nation's premier island destinations. Opportunities of this caliber rarely arise—seize the moment to make this piece of paradise your own. Don't hesitate to make your appointment today for exclusive details and to arrange a private viewing.
