Two parcels, sold together, offer something increasingly hard to find in South Venice: a confirmed buildable homesite paired with direct water access to Alligator Creek. Lot 37 (Parcel 0456-09-0044) is a legal lot of record, zoned RSF-3, with MODR future land use verified by Sarasota County. The adjoining parcel (0456-09-0040) fronts Alligator Creek directly, and a private single-family dock can be permitted independent of home construction. Together, the two parcels support a range of intentions: a custom home built exactly where you want it, a waterfront lifestyle centered on kayaking and fishing, or a long-term land position in a market where dual-parcel, water-adjacent assemblages rarely repeat. Electric is available at the street. Water and sewer are not centralized in this area of South Venice, so buyers should plan for a private well and septic system.
