One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Celebrated as one of SRQ Magazine’s “Home of the Year” in 2008 and born from the visionary imagination of acclaimed architect Mark Sultana and built by Voigt Construction, this extraordinary waterfront estate is not simply a home — it is a lifestyle. One of Siesta Key’s most iconic private residences, it stands as a living testament to the art of inspired modern design and the art of living beautifully.Deeply set on nearly one private acre along the tranquil Coconut Bayou, this gated 4-bedroom architectural masterpiece unfolds across multiple stories with absolute privacy, lush tropical splendor, and grounds generous enough for a pickleball court — all anchored by a fully separate guest house for family and friends who will never want to leave.From the moment the gates open, life here feels different. A breathtaking composition of glass, steel, and sculptural lines soars beneath dramatic ceilings, with natural light pouring through at every angle — whether that’s a lazy Sunday morning or a dinner party in full swing. Rise by private elevator or ascend the sweeping steel-and-glass staircase to the crown jewel of this residence: a 2,500 sq. ft. rooftop terrace, where the Siesta Key lifestyle reaches its absolute peak. Panoramic views sweep across Siesta Key, the downtown Sarasota skyline, and the shimmering waterways below — this is where memories are made.At the water’s edge, a brand-new dock on order, a double jet ski lift, and a dedicated kayak and paddleboard launch await — with direct, bridge-free access to the Intracoastal and the open Gulf beyond. This is the rare address that refuses to make you choose: the serenity of bayfront living, the thrill of open-water boating, and the privilege of private deeded beach access to the shores of Siesta Key — all from a single extraordinary estate.Designed with both beauty and resilience in mind, the residence sits impressively high and dry above the Bayou. Even through recent storms, the property remained untouched by flooding — including the pool area — offering a rare sense of peace of mind along Sarasota’s waterfront.The primary suite is a private world of its own — featuring a dedicated office/loft or exercise room, two custom walk-in closets, and a private balcony suspended above the Bayou. At the center of it all, an indulgent Champagne Jacuzzi infinity bathtub transforms every evening into a spa retreat. Downstairs, entertaining flows as naturally as conversation — from a dedicated movie theater room to tiered outdoor patios crowned by a spectacular summer kitchen, an open saltwater pool, and glowing fire bowl accents that keep the night alive.In the kitchen, Italian custom cabinetry, top-tier appliances, a service pantry, and a private wine cellar come together in a space as pleasurable to cook in as it is to gather around. Garage parking for five vehicles and separate guest quarters complete an offering with virtually nothing left to wish for.Minutes from The Out-of-Door Academy, Siesta Key Village, and Siesta Beach — this is not just an address. It is a life you’ll never want to leave.
