Welcome to 585 Gunwale Lane, a rare, full-bayfront offering in the desirable community of Country Club Shores on southern end of Longboat Key. On a .36-acre bayfront parcel with 117 feet on Sarasota Bay and 123 feet on a deepwater canal, this residence is a boater’s paradise. A newer seawall and 58-foot dock (2022) with a 24,000-pound boat lift assure easy access to Sarasota Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.
