In the realm of waterfront real estate, certain truths remain immutable: deep water cannot be created, main channel access cannot be relocated, and unobstructed views cannot be manufactured. These elements either exist, or they do not. At 155 1st St West, they exist. This .29 acre parcel represents one of the last opportunities to secure prime waterfront land in Tierra Verde - a community that has long understood the value of its position at the confluence of Tampa Bay and the Gulf. With 85 feet of direct main channel frontage, a new seawall (2024), sailboat-depth waters, and northern views that encompass both Isla del Sol and the iconic Don CeSar, this property offers something increasingly difficult to find: a waterfront canvas worthy of exceptional architecture. This parcel accommodates architectural vision - estates that reflect not just wealth, but discernment. The lot dimensions provide sufficient scope for homes that respect the waterfront while maximizing its potential: floor-to-ceiling glass to capture water views, entertainment spaces that transition seamlessly between interior and exterior, suites positioned to greet morning light across the channel. The deep waters invite the yachting lifestyle that defines waterfront luxury. A private dock can accommodate vessels of significant size with main channel providing direct access to Tampa Bay and the Gulf. This is not decorative water frontage. This is functional, navigable, sailboat-depth access to some of Florida's finest cruising grounds. Understanding this property requires understanding Tierra Verde itself - a barrier island community that has achieved what few Florida addresses can clain: protection from over-development while remaining accessible to urban amenities. The numbers tell part of the story: approximately 4,000 residents on an island measuring just over two square miles. But numbers cannot convey the experience of a community where natural preservation and luxury coexist, where Fort De Soto Park's 1,136 acres of protected coastline serve as a perpetual neighbor, ensuing that unspoiled beaches and nature trails remain an extension of the residential experience. Opportunities of this caliber emerge infrequently in Tierra Verde. When they do, they are recognized quickly by those who understand the value of irreplaceable waterfront position. The question is not whether this land will be developed into an exceptional estate. The question is whose vision will define it.
A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY to purchase a LEVEL, GENEROUSLY SIZED LOT in the highly desirable Monte Cristo neighborhood located in sought-after Tierra Verde. The lot measures 80’ in width and has a depth of 133’, so there is plenty of space to build a fabulous island home with a backyard oasis and expansive lanai, pool and spa. And with base elevations throughout the island of 8-10 feet above sea level, Tierra Verde is much more elevated and protected than its neighboring beach communities. There is a newer quality home on the left of the lot built by David Weekley Homes in 2018, and a newly renovated home to the right, adding extra value to any property to be built. The island is a boater’s delight – with two marinas, boat storage and boat rentals – you have Gulf access within just minutes, whether you own or rent your vessel! The coveted island is slightly off the beaten path and free of the hubbub and traffic of downtown, yet within minutes of award-winning St. Pete Beach, 30-40 minutes from two international airports via I-275 and just a short drive to downtown St. Pete with its cultural attractions, entertainment, sports venues and award-winning restaurants. Fort DeSoto, an 1100-acre park offering sugar sand beaches, camping, kayaking and miles of nature trails, is located at the southern tip of the island and within biking distance. Tierra Verde also has its own array of top-rated restaurants within walking, biking or golf cart distance … ranging from delicious fresh seafood to Northern Italian pastas, and brick oven pizza to French cuisine. Don’t let this opportunity pass you by. There are very few lots left on this island paradise!
