Tucked away on quaint Snead Island, this rare-find property offers a unique opportunity to enjoy peaceful island living surrounded by nature. Situated on two lots (buyer to verify potential to split through permitting), this home is full of potential and ready for your personal touches—while many of the major updates have already been completed. Recent improvements include a new roof (2020), new HVAC system (2021), impact windows, doors, and sliders, as well as a new washer and dryer (2020) and updated kitchen appliances (2020–2021). Both the guest and primary bathrooms were beautifully remodeled in 2024, complemented by new ceiling fans (2024) and updated upstairs window blinds (2025). An open elevator lift is in place (currently not operational), with repair information available for prospective buyers. As you drive over the bridge onto Snead Island, you’re welcomed by fresh coastal air, a tranquil atmosphere, and an abundance of birds and wildlife set among lush, mature vegetation. This charming community offers a true laid-back lifestyle with local traditions like neighborhood fish fries, holiday golf cart parades, and New Year’s luminaries. Take in breathtaking views at nearby Emerson Point Park, located at the tip of the island, where you can enjoy walking trails, kayaking, and unforgettable sunsets. The Bradenton Yacht Club is right down the street and you can keep your boat or any recreational toys right in your backyard with no HOA. This is your chance to own a slice of island serenity with the big-ticket items already taken care of—just bring your vision and make it your own.
