Land for Sale in Ruskin, Florida

Build-Ready Waterfront Opportunity on the Little Manatee River.

An exceptional chance to build your custom waterfront home at the mouth of the Little Manatee River, where peaceful river living meets quick access to Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. This .32-acre gated and fully fenced property offers a rare combination of open-water access, build readiness, and freedom from HOA or deed restrictions.

The lot measures approximately 64 x 216 and is fully prepared for construction, with approved house plans through Hillsborough County, along with water, sewer, and electrical services already in place. Impact fees have been paid for the first 2,300 square feet of construction, saving valuable time and expense. A site and elevation survey and geotechnical survey have already been completed, providing a strong foundation for future development.

Boaters will appreciate the existing seawall and 60' T-shaped dock, featuring a 13,000-pound boat lift, floating dock, and a 54-foot land-side deck--ideal for relaxing or entertaining along the water. With over 10 feet of water depth, the dock can accommodate large vessels, making trips to the bay fast and convenient.

Minimal side setbacks of just 5 feet allow for greater flexibility in home design.

Located near Shell Point Marina and Little Harbor, you'll enjoy nearby restaurants, a public beach, and beautiful sunset views. From your own backyard, take in the natural beauty of the river, where dolphins, manatees, and other wildlife are frequent visitors.

With extensive improvements already completed, this property places you well ahead in the building process--making it an outstanding opportunity to create your own waterfront retreat in a prime boating location.
