Riverfront estate sale sets Manatee record at $8.55 million

When one of the largest waterfront properties in Manatee County sold for $8.55 million, it claimed an additional title: highest sale of a single family residence on the county’s mainland. 

The 5.16-acre waterfront property at 7000 Riverview Blvd. on the Manatee River features a 5,975-square-foot home that was built in 1991. The main home includes five bedrooms, a guest home and a pool. The architecture features rare granites, wood mosaic flooring, hand-rubbed cypress wood walls, highly lacquered cabinetry, beamed 20-foot ceilings and walls of glass.
