Lido Shores should easily come out on the top ranks of searches on luxury real estate in Sarasota, Florida. It is located on a choice slice of Lido Key, one of the barrier islands separating Sarasota Bay from the Gulf of Mexico, which has earned world renown for their superb beaches and resort amenities. An equally charming island, Longboat Key, lies immediately north of Lido; both are accessible from the Sarasota mainland via the John Ringling Causeway.
This is an island subdivision with all properties having deeded beach access. Hence, even those living in Lido Shores’ off-water homes can readily enjoy the community’s truly private beach. There are about 150 homes in this upscale neighborhood, ranging from older residences constructed in the late 1940s to those of more contemporary builds. The floor plans of these homes measure from 1,100 to more than 9,000 square feet. Most of the inland homes have private pools, while those that are the waterfront have boat docks or piers.
These beachfront properties are often large estates that command million-dollar prices and are certainly among the most luxurious Sarasota waterfront homes for sale. A bayfront property with a three-bedroom residence built in 1952 with a floor area of around 2,000 square feet can have a tag price of about $1.9 million. The starting price approaches the $9 million mark for a residence constructed in 2001 with a floor plan of around 6,600 square feet, five bedrooms and six baths.
