About 6561 Bayou Hammock Road
Beyond the gates of Bayou Hammock, where just 11 residences share one of north Longboat Key’s most private waterfront settings, a true coastal retreat awaits. Arrive through one of two private gated entrances, where refreshed tropical landscaping and a charming butterfly garden welcome you home. Set on an expansive 0.83-acre lot with approximately 150 feet of direct canal frontage, the property offers sailboat water and room to accommodate vessels up to approximately 70 feet.
Thoughtfully reimagined by the current owner, the beautifully renovated bungalow blends timeless Old Florida character with modern comfort. The 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom main residence is complemented by an attached guest casita with its own bedroom and bathroom, creating a total of 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and approximately 2,600 square feet of air-conditioned living space. Distinctive keystone accents will continue to develop a rich, natural patina in the coastal climate, while impact-rated windows and doors, a new standing-seam metal roof, and an attached one-car garage provide lasting value and peace of mind.
Life here unfolds outdoors. Begin the morning beside the pool, rinse off beneath the outdoor shower after an afternoon on the water, or step onto the brand-new dock and set out from one of two new 10,000-pound boat lifts. Spend the day boating, fishing, and exploring the surrounding waterways before returning to your own peaceful hideaway.
Just moments from the beaches, dining, and relaxed charm of north Longboat Key and nearby Anna Maria Island, this exceptional property is also zoned for Anna Maria Elementary School. More than a waterfront home, it is a private island sanctuary offering rare space, remarkable boating access, and an unhurried way of life.
