South Venice SubDv. ⋅ 34293 Zip Code
Two parcels, sold together, offer something increasingly hard to find in South Venice: a confirmed buildable homesite paired with direct water access to Alligator Creek. Lot 37 (Parcel 0456-09-0044) is a legal lot of record, zoned RSF-3, with MODR future land use verified by Sarasota County. The adjoining parcel (0456-09-0040) fronts Alligator Creek directly, and a private single-family dock can be permitted independent of home construction. Together, the two parcels support a range of intentions: a custom home built exactly where you want it, a waterfront lifestyle centered on kayaking and fishing, or a long-term land position in a market where dual-parcel, water-adjacent assemblages rarely repeat. Electric is available at the street. Water and sewer are not centralized in this area of South Venice, so buyers should plan for a private well and septic system. The location places daily life within easy reach of the water and the coast. The South Venice Beach Ferry is approximately 3 to 5 minutes away, within the neighborhood itself. Manasota Beach is approximately 5 to 8 minutes south, and Venice Beach and Caspersen Beach are approximately 10 to 12 minutes northwest.

Drive times are estimates and may vary by a few minutes depending on the exact route. The property is also near the South Venice Beach Ferry membership program, a resident-optional benefit, not an HOA, that provides access to a private community beach. The ferry operates six days a week, closed Wednesdays, with membership pricing set annually by the South Venice Beach Endowment Trust. Buyer to verify all zoning, utilities, flood information, environmental conditions, permitting requirements, ferry membership eligibility and current fees, drive times, and intended use with Sarasota County, the South Venice Beach Endowment Trust, and other applicable authorities.
