Currently under construction with a cost basis of approximately $25 million, this landmark residence is destined to be one of the most iconic homes on Sarasota’s Gulf Coast. Conceptualized by internationally acclaimed Sweet Sparkman Architecture and Interiors, the design reflects a fusion of bold innovation, timeless elegance, and an intimate understanding of the coastal environment. The main residence is a masterpiece of refined sophistication, featuring an expansive primary suite with dual bathrooms and custom closets, a stately office, a dramatic foyer, and an open-concept great room leading to an elegant terrace with breathtaking views.

Additional highlights include a lavish lounge, state-of-the-art cinema, multiple guest suites, a charming bunk room, a kitchenette for the guest suite level, and a breathtaking rooftop deck offering panoramic views. Complementing the residence is an exquisitely designed guest house as well as a pool house, creating a private retreat for guests and seamless entertaining. The estate’s exterior is equally fascinating, with lush, resort-inspired landscaping, tranquil water features, a tennis and pickle ball court and vast outdoor living spaces. The centerpiece is an enormous, shimmering pool, complete with a luxurious spa and an expansive deck offering countless options for alfresco dining and grand-scale gatherings. This exceptional estate embodies unparalleled craftsmanship and luxury. As construction progresses, the price will evolve, offering a rare opportunity to claim a bespoke piece of coastal elegance. Enjoy the ultimate island lifestyle on Longboat Key, renowned for its pristine beaches, tranquil ambiance, and world-class amenities. This idyllic retreat offers easy access to The Resort at Longboat Key Club, The St. Regis, St. Armands Circle, and the vibrant cultural offerings of downtown Sarasota.
