Majestic Bay Condos for Sale

The adage that a man’s home is his castle can’t be any truer than having a residence at Majestic Bay, a Florida condominium property that definitely has a strong appeal among Sarasota homes for sale.

The location of this property, the Golden Gate Point peninsula, is unique in Sarasota. This area was formerly called Cedar Key, a barrier island which became the eastern foundation and entry of the bridge built to spur the development of the neighboring St. Armands Key into a residential and commercial district. Following the completion of this project, a brainchild no less by the circus magnate John Ringling, the twenty-two acre peninsula turned out as a prized piece of ideally located real estate squarely between the Sarasota mainland and some of finest beach attractions of several Florida barrier islands.

The tag price rises to around $1.7 million for an upper floor unit having three bedrooms and measuring a total of about 3,000 square feet.

The amenities that can be found in the Majestic Bay community can stand on their own compared with those in luxurious Sarasota real estate for sale.

Majestic Bay is a majestic condo development on Golden Gate Point in the City of Sarasota Florida. This 10 story waterfront building offers most residences with 360 degree views of the Sarasota skyline, Sarasota Bay, Ringling bridge and the barrier islands of Siesta Key and Longboat Key.

In the early 1900’s Golden gate point was known as Cedar Key. Cedar Key was home to various piers for off-loading seafood and other raw materials for the city, a sawmill, and a boat yard. John Ringling and Owen Burns purchased the peninsula as it was a key staging point for their planned future development of St. Armands and Lido Key. After this purchase it was renamed Golden Gate Point due to the bridge that was built that spanned from the peninsula to Bird Key and then on to St. Armands. Golden Gate Point is a very historic part of Sarasota’s rich history.
