Beautiful, private/manned gate (manned 24/7) enclave located on the Manatee River leading to the Gulf of Mexico. Have your boat docked directly behind your home and enjoy the ride down the River stopping at dozens of dock & dine establishments on the way to the Gulf with private islands only for boaters. A rare find in a waterfront community with no rear neighbors across the waterway. Here you’ll find a meticulously landscaped marina park with palm trees. Located in the sought-after neighborhood called Rio Vista Estates, you’ll enjoy a private gated area inside the community. Rio Vista roads are paved with brick and a larger home is required. This home site requires a home of at least 3, 200sf. Choose one of our builders or have your own pre-approved. When complete, Rio Vista Estates will have only 64 homes. NO CDD fees HERE as found in areas around Lakewood Ranch.
