About this home
Gulf-Front Opportunity in Lido Shores — 127 Feet on the Open Water!
A rare offering in Sarasota’s coveted Lido Shores, this Gulf-front property presents an exceptional opportunity to build a signature coastal estate on one of the region’s most desirable stretches of shoreline. Positioned on nearly half an acre (0.41 acres) with 127 feet of direct frontage on the Gulf of Mexico, this homesite is perfectly placed at the dynamic junction of New Pass, where turquoise waters meet the open Gulf—an unmatched setting for boating enthusiasts, beach lovers, and architectural visionaries.
With sweeping full Gulf-to-bay views, the property’s orientation captures dramatic sunsets and ever-changing waterfront scenery. Deep-water access and immediate proximity to the channel create effortless passage for boating, sailing, kayaking, or fishing. A concrete seawall is already in place, providing a strong foundation for future waterfront design and dock possibilities.
Set among some of Sarasota’s most notable modern and luxury residences, this lot sits within the prestigious Lido Shores—an enclave known for its privacy, walkability, and architectural pedigree. Owners have the option to join the Lido Shores Association, which offers access to a private, gated beach park just moments from the property, complete with Gulf access, picnic zones, and a secluded stretch of sand exclusive to community members.
With 97 feet of frontage on Westway Drive, a generous building envelope, and its privileged water position, the site allows for a substantial custom residence, pool, outdoor living areas, and multi-car garage. Whether envisioned as a modernist showpiece or timeless coastal retreat, the location elevates every possibility.
Lido Shores offers the ideal blend of tranquility and access. A short stroll brings you to North Lido Beach—one of Sarasota’s most natural and peaceful shorelines. Just over the bridge is St. Armands Circle, home to luxury boutiques, fine dining, and year-round entertainment. Nearby New Pass Grill & Bait Shop, Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium, Sarasota Sailing Squadron, and Ken Thompson Park highlight the area’s coastal charm and outdoor experiences.
A quick drive connects you to the cultural heartbeat of downtown Sarasota, including the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall, Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, the Ringling Museum, theaters, galleries, and the city’s bayfront promenade. Marinas, world-class golf and tennis clubs, and resort amenities further enhance the unparalleled lifestyle available at this address.
With its magnitude, water frontage, and premier location, 1199 Westway Drive stands as one of the most compelling Gulf-front building opportunities in Southwest Florida—a place where your future dream home can rise above the waves and capture Sarasota’s most extraordinary vistas.
