3351 Bahia Vista Street, Central Sarasota, FL 34239

Property Description

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Rare commercial/residential opportunity! Come see this hidden gem, an income-producing property not available since the sixties, located in the heart of Pinecraft, Sarasota’s Amish-Mennonite community! Live, work or retire at this charming property in Sarasota County, one of Florida’s most desired relocation destinations on the Gulf Coast, and one of the prettiest areas of Florida. Centrally located between I 75 and US 41 in Sarasota County, just outside city limits, Pinecraft is a safe community for walking and biking. The famous Legacy Trail winds through Pinecraft and Breeze public transit stops nearby on Bahia Vista Street, making shopping and sightseeing very accessible for those who prefer biking. It is also only six miles to the beautiful sandy sands of world-renowned Siesta Key and Gulf of America, and two miles to the Sarasota Bay for all those avid sea lovers who enjoy fishing, shelling and sunsets. Pinecraft Market is an excellent family-owned home-business location for nearly 60 years in the downtown square of Pinecraft, with road frontage on high-traffic Bahia Vista Street. It’s best-use value is its commercial zoning, with Pinecraft real estate continually in high demand, based on availability rather than comps. The adjoining businesses at the Bahia Vista and Kaufman intersection are Yoder’s Restaurant & Deli, Pinecraft Icecream and Pizza Shoppe and Postal Café, Everence Credit Union and Pinecraft Golf shop and Loretta’s Doughnuts. Pinecraft overflows in the winter season with tourists and winter residents, creating an instant business opportunity, while the increasing amount of relocators to Sarasota keep the local businesses flourishing year-round. The highly desirable feature of the property is the grandfathered zoning which allows for commercial and residential uses simultaneously, the only business in the Pinecraft square with this feature! Endless possibilities! Need an Airbnb? Or leasable units for residential rentals? Or leasable commercial space, or an operating family-owned business? Or a 1031 exchange for that piece of property you just sold? Or invest in a winter home or an inheritance for your grandchildren? Produce market? Bookstore and coffee shop? Local Arts & Crafts Shop?
