The prestigious island of Rio Vista Estates features 65 homesites, all waterfront. This unique neighborhood combines nature’s beauty with homes of architectural distinction. As you pass through a private gated entry, 100 year-old antique brick streets greet you as you wind your way trough the island to Channelside Harbor. The largest estate sized homesites, up to 1.5 acres, are located directly on the Manatee River with easy access to the Gulf of Mexico and beyond. Estate lots on the Central Harbor also have direct access to the Manatee River and are pre-approved for boat docks. New models, directly on the Manatee River, are being constructed by the area’s most sought after custom home builders. These skilled professionals can build your dream home, custom-suited for your Rio Vista homesite.

Channelside, a unique enclave of 15 estate lots located within Rio Vista Estates is set to open for reservations on May 15, 2021. This highly desirable location to build your dream home is our final phase in The Islands and contains the most sought after lots.  The neighborhood has its own entry feature and includes direct access to the Manatee River via a second cut located right in Channelside.  The new cut shortens the distance by over 2 miles to the Gulf of Mexico, the downtown riverfront entertainment district and dock and dine restaurants along the river
