Florida, Manatee County, Anna Maria, USA

Welcome to Open Palms an intimate luxury waterfront home on one of the few canals in the City of Anna Maria with open water access with no bridges. Although zoned for weekly rentals this property has never been rented. Built by Gagne Construction with detailed design collaboration with the owners, here mentioned a partial list of all the incredible features: The dock is 50 feet long with 30-foot fixed and 20-foot floating with tide and with movable kayak/SUP board assist bar and ladder access from fixed portion. The dock is 10 feet deep and has a deployable rescue ladder to canal. The city building code changed after dock was built. Now, docks cannot exceed 20 feet in length. It includes fish light, perimeter flush-mount LED safety lights, and a power pedestal with hose bib. The Golden boat lift capacity is 14,000 pounds, with normal resting height and storm height settings, and a remote control. Owner added Swingstoppers® system for securing boat in hurricanes, canal-side ladder and catwalk installed for applying Swingstoppers. Seawall was completely replaced in 2016, including dead-man anchors to keep seawall from leaning towards canal. The home has 30 helical piers set into the lot onto which foundation bases were poured. Rebar was set into foundation bases to extend into the masonry block structural columns, which were then filled with concrete and tied to the first course of framing for floor above ground level.
