About this home
8534 HERON LAGOON CIRCLE
A 2-minute walk across your private footbridge to secluded beach access, this 12,684-square-foot property in Heron Lagoon presents a rare opportunity to own in one of Siesta Key’s most intimate waterfront communities. The existing residence offers the potential to renovate or personalize, all while enjoying a tranquil lagoon setting. The property features a resort-style pool already in place which will need rehabbed, creating a strong foundation for an upgraded outdoor living space. With thoughtful improvements, this home can be transformed into a private coastal retreat that embraces indoor-outdoor living. Set within an exclusive enclave of just 13 homes — while this is 1 of 6 located on the water — residents enjoy a quiet, low-HOA community with direct access to kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and birdwatching. Private bridge access leads to a short stroll to Siesta Key’s world-renowned quartz-crystal beaches. Conveniently located just minutes from Siesta Key Village’s shops and dining, this property offers a unique opportunity to create your own island getaway. 3D renderings are available upon request for those seeking design inspiration.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
