Listing description
About this home
This Seaward Homes Curated Collection residence at 6489 Gulfside is ready for occupancy. Enjoy the ultimate Longboat Key lifestyle with your own direct Gulf-front private access and stunning views of the Gulf of Mexico. Designed by DSDG Architects, this home epitomizes exceptional quality and attention to detail.
Come and witness the cutting edge of enhanced hurricane construction, wander and enjoy the exquisite staging by Clive Daneil Homes. Situated on a coveted 90' Gulf/Beach-front lot, the property offers soft sands, endless Gulf views, and miles of walkability. In 2025, Longboat Key completed a significant beach re-nourishment project, giving Gulfside Road homeowners one of the widest and deepest stretches of beach on the entire island.
Equally notable, Gulfside Road is one of the rare Gulf-side streets set back from the main highway, offering a tranquil, private environment that feels worlds away from the activity of Gulf of Mexico Drive. The main house, elevated over 15 feet, features 11' ceilings, four oversized en-suite bedrooms, and more than 6,600 sq ft of air-conditioned living space, including a grade-level, air-conditioned multipurpose room that can be tailored for wellness, fitness, or a variety of additional lifestyle needs. The wide-open floor plan, generous room sizes, and large impact-rated safety glass sliding doors and windows fill the home with natural light.
Two nearly 40' terraces on the main and second floors provide ideal spaces to enjoy the outdoor island lifestyle and breathtaking Gulf views. Interior finishes by Studio G Homes elevate luxury living to the next level. The interior finishes include large-format porcelain tile and hardwood flooring, Italian-imported cabinetry, a custom floating steel-and-wood staircase, a three-stop elevator, 8' solid interior doors, high-efficiency mechanical systems, a top-of-the-line Thermador™ appliance package, AXOR™ and Hansgrohe™ plumbing fixtures, temperature-controlled wine storage, and detailed AV, lighting control, and security systems.
Exterior features include solid concrete and masonry construction on all floors, a deep concrete piling foundation for added strength, Longboard™ premium aluminum architectural details, and a fine light-sand exterior stucco finish. The resort-like pool area and custom spa are surrounded by a lush tropical landscape package. The garage accommodates four cars, with the option to add car lifts.
Longboat Key, an 11-mile barrier island, is just minutes from St. Armands Circle and downtown Sarasota. The Sarasota Bradenton International Airport is approximately 25 minutes away.
Embrace the opportunity to own this unparalleled residence and experience the pinnacle of coastal luxury living.

The Messtimate™
The Messtimate
This is a deliberately dumb estimate — living area times a range of recent neighborhood $/sq ft, and nothing else. It is not an appraisal, not market value, and not a valuation of this home. Even a tight range from comparable sales can’t price a specific home — here’s why.
$4,928,920the mess$6,278,584
Actual list price: $13,995,000 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.
A 27% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:
Condition & updates — a renovated kitchen or new roof vs. dated finishes can swing value six figures; sq ft can't see it.
The lot & views — a premium golf, water, or preserve lot vs. a road-facing one: same sq ft, very different price.
Outliers skew it — one flip or distressed sale in the comps drags the whole $/sq ft up or down.
Carrying costs & concessions — CDD, HOA, insurance, and seller-paid buydowns change what a buyer actually pays.
And here's what the live market is doing — which the number above ignores entirely:
This home: 162 days on market vs. a 80-day community median
3805 active listings competing, 1304 under contract
For reference, this home is listed at $13,995,000 ($2,115/sq ft) — a number set with analysis a Messtimate can't do.

Methodology: 6,616 sq ft × $745–$949/sq ft from recent nearby closed sales (public records). Estimate for general information only; not an appraisal, valuation, or offer. Updated August 22, 2026.

Jul 2026 · Infrastructure
Florida's new state budget funds five major Manatee County projects
The 2026 state budget signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis directs 12.4 million dollars to five Manatee County projects, including the Singletary Road Bridge replacement, a 51st Street West extension in Bradenton, and design work for a Fort Hamer Road and I-75 interchange. The list also funds Fresh Start Manatee Phase 2 and the Valor Commons veterans hub.
Why it matters: State funding for road, bridge and interchange work expands transportation infrastructure and supports future growth capacity across Manatee County. The site is about 4 miles east of Zz Stellar Manatee Unassigned.
The Manatee County Commission advanced business terms for the next phase of an 80 million dollar, 190,000 square foot sports complex at Premier Sports Campus in Lakewood Ranch, featuring four ice rinks including a 2,500 seat arena plus retail, restaurants and sports medicine space. Construction is expected to begin in 2027 with an opening targeted for 2028.
Why it matters: A large ice and sports complex adds indoor recreation and commercial space to the Lakewood Ranch area and expands the local sports tourism venue base. The project is about 18 miles east of Zz Stellar Manatee Unassigned, elsewhere in Manatee County.
The City of Bradenton held a ceremonial groundbreaking for Future City Park next to LECOM Park, adding three new baseball fields, expanded parking and a community resource center offering education and career programs. Officials aim to complete all phases by 2028.
Why it matters: New ballfields, parking and a resource center expand public recreation and civic facilities in the Bradenton area. The project is about 3 miles east of Zz Stellar Manatee Unassigned, elsewhere in Manatee County.

Answered before you ask
Frequently asked questions
Why might my property taxes differ from the current owner's?
Florida's Save Our Homes rule caps annual assessment increases for homesteaded owners, and the assessment can be re-set after a sale. As a result a new owner's bill may differ from the seller's. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
Where does the flood-zone information come from?
The flood designation shown (Zone X) comes from the FEMA flood map and is provided for general information. Confirm the parcel's status with FEMA and your insurer.
Can I rely on the figures on this page?
No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.
