3351 BAHIA VISTA STREET, Sarasota, FL 34239

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? Massage
therapy? Open-air Smoothie business or bubba tea stand? Wellness clinic? Counseling center?
Ministry retreat? R&R vacation property to avoid employee burnout? Historical Society or
information center? Or simply a place to enjoy southern living while bringing in an income
through rentals? Bring your dreams to life!
