Lighthouse Point
Lighthouse Point is a high-end waterfront development that would surely lure prospective residential buyers searching for opportunities in a boating community in Longboat Key.
This waterfront community boasts a 40-foot-deep basin on a coveted site within the gated enclave of The Resort at Longboat Key Club. Its acreage spreads in a small peninsula at the southwestern tip of Longboat Key, directly facing New Pass that separates Longboat and Lido Keys.
Lighthouse Point was developed around the mid-1990s on the heels of the market debut of Regent Court, another elite community within the confines of the 410-acre Longboat Key resort campus. The Lighthouse Point parcels are located a short distance south of Regent Court and adjacent east of the Sands Point condominium, also a luxury real estate development in Longboat Key.
A gated community, Lighthouse Point consists of just 16 luxury residences. This high-end waterfront community was the brainchild of a prolific local developer, Bill Rein, who was also behind the development of a nearby condo complex, Tangerine Bay. Rein first built a spec home at Lighthouse Point, and the remaining lots were sold individually.
The buyers, as expected, built multi-million dollar custom homes within the property. Consequently, the neighborhood became an endearing showcase of a wide variety of architectural designs. This charming mix consists of Mediterranean, Key West, and modernist styles of architecture.
Nine of the 16 Lighthouse Point homes are located fronting New Pass, and are thus provided with awe-inspiring views of the waterway and vessels cruising by. As endearing, dolphins frequently frolic around this nearby waters as well. The rest of the seven residences in the community are on the southern shore of a small lagoon, allowing their owners to maintain deep-water boat slips. Typical Lighthouse Point dwellings stand in lots nearly an acre in size and feature five bedrooms within living spaces upwards of 7,000 square feet.
Lighthouse Point residences for sale seldom come on the market, and as expected, the community’s residences are all highly coveted on the market. Its privacy and proximity to all the membership privileges of The Resort at Longboat Key Club, such as dining, golf and tennis, are strong selling points for these residences. Delightful outside attractions are within easy reach too at St. Armands Circle and downtown Sarasota.
Most of all, boating enthusiasts living in Lighthouse Point will have instant opportunities for
an enjoyable day traversing Sarasota Bay or fishing at the famed deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico. As exciting, there are also possibilities to look into water-based and social activities at the Sarasota Yacht Club or Bird Key Yacht Club a short-distance south of the community.
Joining the Sarasota Yacht Club, which is located right inside Big Pass, opens access not only to its 110-slip marina. The club also offers various facilities, such as indoor and outdoor dining venues, a pool and pool bar and a fitness center. Similarly, Bird Key Yacht Club provides wide-ranging amenities and social events focused around boating, dining and tennis.
