Waterfront Paradise on the Manatee River – 1.65 Acres of Private Luxury!
Welcome to 1902 68th Terrace E, Ellenton, FL 34222, a breathtaking riverfront estate with 169 feet of direct frontage along the scenic 36-mile Manatee River. This sprawling 1.65-acre private retreat offers a rare blend of luxury, serenity, and convenience—perfect for boating enthusiasts, nature lovers, and those seeking a peaceful escape with easy access to modern amenities.
Step into 4,012 square feet of beautifully designed living space, featuring 5 spacious bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a grand family room, and a game room—ideal for entertaining. The home boasts two kitchens—one upstairs and one downstairs with the one downstairs being a partial kitchen that can easily be converted to a full kitchen —providing exceptional flexibility for hosting guests, multi-generational living, or simply added convenience.
The screened-in, in-ground pool is surrounded by a beautiful concrete paver patio, creating the ultimate outdoor oasis. Unwind at your tiki bar, perfect for enjoying tropical drinks and entertaining friends and family. The second-story balcony offers panoramic views of the water, making it the perfect spot to relax and soak in Florida’s breathtaking sunsets.
Adding to the estate’s serenity and privacy, the Manatee River in this area sees very little boat traffic, allowing you to fully enjoy the peaceful waterfront setting without the noise and disturbance often found in more congested boating areas. In addition to the riverfront access, the property also features a private pond, enhancing the natural beauty and seclusion of this one-of-a-kind retreat.
Boating is effortless with your private dock, allowing you to explore the river’s wide, shallow waterways with ease. The private dock includes removable stairs for kayak launching while also providing amazing sunrises and sunsets for you to enjoy. For car enthusiasts or those in need of extra storage, this estate also boasts two attached garages.
Beyond the home’s luxurious features, its location is unbeatable. Nestled just minutes from I-75, you’ll enjoy quick access to Ellenton Premium Outlets, Anna Maria Island Beach, Manatee Public Beach, Siesta Beach, and Lido Beach—some of Florida’s most coveted coastal destinations. Outdoor lovers will appreciate the proximity to Emerson Point Preserve, Robinson Preserve, and Felts Audubon Preserve, all within a 30-minute drive. For entertainment and recreation, the Bradenton Riverwalk is just 15 minutes away, and the Ellenton Ice and Sports Rink is a mere 6-minute drive.
