Introducing The Ivy — The first chapter in a new collaboration. Born from the partnership of Emily Moss Designs and Moss Builders, The Ivy marks the debut of their shared vision on Anna Maria Island — a carefully crafted waterfront residence where refined design and thoughtful construction meet. As the inaugural home in what will become a growing collection, The Ivy sets the tone for the work to come: elevated, intentional, and deeply rooted in the island’s quiet luxury. Step through the front entry — sheltered beneath a soaring tongue-and-groove wood ceiling — into a great room where large-format stone flooring, disappearing glass sliders, and a sculptural wood ceiling detail set a calm, organic tone. The chef's kitchen anchors the main level with a monumental waterfall-edge stone island, custom dark wood cabinetry, and sculptural globe pendant lighting, flowing seamlessly into a dining room defined by a dramatic wood-beamed vaulted ceiling, a statement orb chandelier, and floor-to-ceiling glass that frames water views from every seat at the table. Directly off the kitchen you’ll find a huge walk in pantry. Six bedrooms offer their own quiet retreats — from a serene primary suite with an upholstered headboard and private glass sliders, to a playful bunk room with built-in cubby storage for kids. The six and a half bathrooms are spa-like in their own right, with freestanding vessel sinks, brass fixtures, and dramatic veined stone and designer tile work throughout. Outside, The Ivy truly comes alive. A resort-style pool is anchored by an elevated spa with a cascading water feature, framed by a turfed lawn, lounge chairs, and a covered wood-ceilinged loggia built for shaded entertaining. A dramatic timber trellis staircase first leads up to the outdoor kitchen, massive TV and hanging swings. As you continue to make your way up to the crown jewel: a expansive rooftop deck with built-in bench seating, a private hot tub to enjoy sunsets, lounge chairs and seating around a fire pit. Direct canal front access completes the picture, with a brand-new dock and boat lift ready for a day on the water — all just a short, palm-lined walk to the shops and restaurants of Pine Avenue.

Heads up on that tax figure. On new construction, the number in the MLS is often the tax on the bare lot, not the finished home. Expect it to jump once the county reassesses with the house on it. How Florida reassesses new builds

CDD defaults to zero, and that is often wrong.Many Tampa Bay new-construction communities carry a Community Development District assessment of roughly $1,500 to $3,000 a year on top of HOA, and it is rarely included in a builder's payment estimate. Ask whether this address is in a CDD before you budget.
The tax figure in the MLS looks like a bare-lot assessment. It lists $17,460 a year, while taxing this purchase price works out closer to $125,010. On new construction the county reassesses once the house is finished, so budget from the higher number.

Here is what this listing's numbers say about the builder's position.
On the market 46 daysContext
Still relatively fresh. Expect the sales office to hold firmer here than on inventory that has been sitting.
Finished and standingWorth knowing
A completed home with a Certificate of Occupancy is inventory, not a future sale. Builders treat standing inventory very differently from a lot they have not broken ground on.
Where builders actually give
Rarely on the published base price. It sets the comp for every unsold home behind this one, and protecting it protects their appraisals. The real room is in closing cost credits, interest rate buydowns, and upgrades moved into the base. Asking for the right one in the right order is most of the job.
