Residential Land for Sale in Sarasota, Florida
Southwood St, Sarasota, FL 34231
An exceptional opportunity West of the Trail, where Sarasota's most sought-after coastal neighborhoods were first established for their proximity to the water. Unlike the many nearby parcels carved into smaller footprints over time, this oversized .31-ACRE CORNER LOT stands apart--offering nearly DOUBLE THE LAND area of most West of Trail homesites.
Positioned close to SIESTA KEY, the property combines premier location with rare flexibility. The generous size and corner configuration create possibilities seldom available in this area, including a substantial custom residence with multiple structures such as a large detached garage, guest or in-law suite, studio, or expansive outdoor living and pool environment (buyer to verify with Sarasota County Zoning).
Zoning may also allow for multi-unit development, making this lot equally compelling for end users or builders seeking to maximize one of Sarasota's most valuable land positions.
The surrounding neighborhood reflects the legacy of West of Trail living--an established mix of luxury homes, classic Florida architecture, villas, and nearby waterfront estates. The lot previously supported a residence, with utilities and INFRASTRUCTURE ALREADY IN PLACE.
Minutes from Siesta key beaches and village and downtown Sarasota, yet firmly rooted in a quiet, coastal setting, this property offers what is increasingly hard to find West of the Trail: space, flexibility, and long-term value--all in one of the city's most enduring locations.
