Property Description

Beyond a long, palm-lined approach awaits a private Sarasota estate, exclusively situated on 5.1 expansive acres and designed as a self-contained family enclave with a sweeping circular paver driveway welcoming you home, where privacy and the Florida lifestyle begin. The primary residence spans 6,721 square feet, making a grand architectural statement the moment you enter a foyer flanked by soaring 24-foot ceilings. Abundant natural light, French doors, and rich maple built-ins complement a versatile floor plan centered around a Great Room with a fireplace beneath a soaring 22-foot ceiling, a formal dining room with custom tray ceilings, two private offices—one with a wood-beamed cedar ceiling—and an approximately 1,000-square-foot recreation wing complete with its own full kitchen and bath. At the heart of the home, the kitchen showcases Campbell Cabinetry, a spacious L-shaped island, butler's pantry, and professional-grade Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, including dual ovens and a warming drawer. The first-floor owner's suite offers a private sitting area, spa-inspired bath, and peaceful views overlooking the estate and pool. Outdoor living centers around a 1200 ft. screened lanai area including a saltwater pool overlooking expansive lawns and mature landscaping that naturally buffers the property. Recreational amenities include a basketball court and a dedicated section of the driveway already marked for pickleball. The grounds are anchored by a detached multi-car garage pavilion designed for collectors and hobbyists, with oversized 11-foot doors, dedicated space for RV and boat storage, covered carport, and a fully plumbed auxiliary suite with a full bath—ideal as a private office, guest retreat, or flexible workspace. Built with poured-concrete construction, comprehensive rebar reinforcement, an elevated foundation, standby generator, salt-and-carbon water filtration system, separate sprinkler well, and a 13-camera security system, the home was engineered for lasting structural integrity. The OUE1-zoned acreage accommodates equestrian pursuits, miniature horses, alpacas, and other hobby livestock while offering the advantages of Flood Zone X, an exceptionally low annual HOA fee, and no CDD. Positioned at the center of it all, the estate sits just 3.5 miles from Waterside Place, 4 miles from the University Town Center district, and 4.5 miles from Main Street Lakewood Ranch—placing championship golf, premier dining, luxury shopping, and vibrant community events within minutes. Beyond your gates, you have the allure of downtown Sarasota, world-renowned Gulf Coast beaches, and the Sarasota International Airport all nearby your new address!
