Less than nine minutes from Anna Maria Island, this private West Bradenton villa offers exceptional access to the beaches, dining and relaxed coastal character of the island, together with the added advantage of a Flood Zone X location. Priced below comparable homes to preserve a meaningful renovation budget, it offers the freedom to create a refined coastal residence without paying for someone else’s design choices. The former flooring has already been removed from the main living areas and bedrooms, allowing the next owner to select the materials and finishes from the outset. The kitchen and baths are clean and functional, including a new quartz-topped vanity in the guest bath, while remaining ready to be reimagined in a style that feels entirely personal. The single-level, two-bedroom, two-bath residence spans 1,249 square feet and reflects the distinctive low-slung architecture of Pine Bay Forest. Two screened lanais extend the living space outdoors, including a secluded rear retreat framed by mature landscaping and complete privacy from neighboring homes. Set across 22 wooded acres near Robinson Preserve and Palma Sola Bay, the community is defined by canopied oaks, tropical gardens and one-story residences. Private walking trails wind through the grounds, leading to a waterfront observation deck overlooking Palma Sola Bay—an inviting setting for sunsets, coastal breezes and quiet moments by the water. Residents also enjoy a pool, tennis, pickleball and shuffleboard. For the buyer drawn to Anna Maria Island, architectural character and the freedom to renovate with intention, this is a rare combination of location, privacy and value.
