Welcome to 585 Gunwale Lane, a rare, full-bayfront offering in the desirable community of Country Club Shores on southern end of Longboat Key. On a .36-acre bayfront parcel with 117 feet on Sarasota Bay and 123 feet on a deepwater canal, this residence is a boater’s paradise. A newer seawall and 58-foot dock (2022) with a 24, 000-pound boat lift assure easy access to Sarasota Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. On the bay side, Ghost Island sandbar emerges at low tide, creating a natural haven that attracts abundant wildlife and offers fantastic shelling.

The dining room opens to a remodeled kitchen outfitted with Graber wood cabinetry and professional-grade Frigidaire appliances. The primary bedroom is on the second floor, featuring a private bayfront balcony, dual walk-in closets, and an adjoining 270-square-foot bonus room ideal for a home office or wellness retreat. Outdoor amenities include a bayfront pool and spa for enjoying Florida sunsets. Additional highlights include impact-resistant windows and doors, and a two-car garage.
