A Private Paradise on Florida’s Gulf Coast

From the moment the gates open, the sense of arrival is unmistakable. The winding drive, framed by tranquil ponds and sculpted gardens, leads to a grand porte cochère and a home that radiates grace. Inside, a soaring two-story foyer welcomes you with marble floors, stately columns, and soft light filtering through stained-glass transoms. Every detail—coffered ceilings, custom millwork, and eight fireplaces—reveals the hand of artisans who understood that beauty begins with balance.

The 12,789-square-foot layout invites both grand entertaining and private retreat. The chef’s kitchen, fitted with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, dual islands, and a wine fridge, opens to elegant dining and living areas designed for flow and connection. The primary suite is a sanctuary unto itself—complete with a screened terrace, spa-like bath, and sweeping bay views—while guest suites with private balconies echo the same thoughtful serenity.

Yet it’s outdoors where the estate’s spirit truly comes alive. A saltwater pool and spa shimmer under the Florida sun, surrounded by shaded terraces and an outdoor kitchen perfect for long, lazy afternoons. Beyond lies a private dock with boat lift, your gateway to the Intracoastal, and a deeded Gulf beach access just across the road—a rare privilege even here.

For collectors, a 30-car tiled and climate-controlled garage adds a final, unexpected indulgence.

At 7159 Manasota Key Road, life unfolds at its own elegant pace—where the sunsets over Lemon Bay aren’t just seen, but felt, reflected in every quiet detail of this extraordinary coastal retreat.
