The River Wilderness Golf and Country Club in Parrish offers some of the most spectacular real estate in Manatee County. Of all the subdivision in this country club neighborhood, The Islands on the Manatee River is the most luxurious.
Parrish is not particularly known for waterfront communities; however, The Islands is a pleasant exception that sets a very high standard in terms of luxury estates. This exclusive neighborhood is located on the northeastern banks of the Manatee River as it narrows inland. Development of The Islands started when the local real estate market was in a period of adjustment, and thus construction has been moving forward at a leisurely pace.
Although The Islands is part of the River Wilderness Golf and Country Club, the community is actually separated by a bridge located about four miles east of I-75. Only the most renowned home builders from the area have been chosen to develop The Islands: Arthur Rutenberg, Javic and John Cannon.
There are two sections within The Islands: As of 2016, Rive Isle was nearly completed while Harbourside was breaking ground. Once both sections are finished, there will be 178 residences, most of them with private docking space. At this time, the Rive Isle section has three-bedroom waterfront estates listed for less than $1 million. Riverfront mansions of four bedrooms, four bathrooms, three parking spaces, spa with private pool and summer kitchen, panoramic balcony, and luxury appliances can be found listed for about $2.3 million.
Residents of The Islands can enjoy the golf and tennis facilities offered by the River Wilderness Golf and Country Club, but they will be able to enjoy even more amenities once the River House is completed later in 2016. This exclusive club waterfront club will feature a day marina, kayak launch, outdoor grill, fire pits, exercise room, bocce ball courts, and more.
The Islands and River Wilderness are very close to The Shops at Silver Leaf, Parkwood Square and the Ellenton Premium Outlets.
