Open water views from this Rutenberg Tuscany II award winning design capture the feel of a “private island”. The gated community of twenty-eight estate homes offers protected dockage, and privacy in an exclusive enclave of newer homes. Luxury features include high ceilings (12ft), granite throughout, cooks kitchen, formal dining room, and a home theater. The den office with private entrance opens to the foyer through French doors. Two family room glass walls open to the caged pool, patio, and covered lanai (36X12). A summer kitchen brings the indoors out! Listen to the sound of water gently cascading down the stone waterfall connecting the spa oasis to the freeform pool. In the background dolphins and seabirds play just beyond your private observation pier. Hawk Island is located conveniently near shopping, and also provides quick access to I75 (3.5 miles). Work or play from Sarasota to St. Pete; it’s all within easy reach. Enjoy living on the pristine Manatee River with direct access to the Gulf of Mexico. Consider the mainland alternative to the seasonal crowding, traffic, red tide, and exposure on the barrier islands
