A true architectural masterpiece by acclaimed Southwest Florida architect Guy Peterson, this stunning Gulf-front estate embodies the pinnacle of coastal luxury, design, and privacy. Set on 1.06 acres with 125 feet of direct Gulf frontage and 117 feet on the Intracoastal Waterway, the residence offers unobstructed Gulf-to-Bay views and a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Boasting over 7,000 square feet of contemporary living space, the main home features 7 bedrooms—each with a private balcony—7 full baths, 2 half baths, and a dedicated home office. Expansive floor-to-ceiling windows and walls of glass flood the interiors with natural light, showcasing breathtaking sunrise and sunset vistas across the Gulf of Mexico and the Bay. The open-concept design includes two elegant living rooms, three fireplaces, and two elevators, including one in the climatized 3-car garage. The chef-inspired kitchen, fully renovated in 2020, is both sleek and functional, equipped with quartz countertops, a Viking gas range with double oven, refrigerated drawers, ice maker, and a Liebherr wine refrigerator—all with stunning Gulf views to inspire your inner gourmet. The primary suite offers a serene private retreat with Gulf views, a generous sitting area, and a spa-like ensuite bathed in natural light. Upstairs, a second living area features a wet bar and a balcony overlooking the Gulf, along with five additional guest suites and a second half bath in the office. In 2023, sleek Italian tile flooring was added, further enhancing the home’s modern aesthetic. Outdoor living is elevated with 3 screened balconies, 7 open-air balconies, an outdoor kitchen, outdoor shower, and a heated saltwater pool and spa surrounded by premium Ipe decking. A detached guest house offers complete privacy for visitors with its own kitchen, living area, bedroom, and full bath. On the bayside, a 75-foot dock with a 15,000 lb. lift platform offers instant boating access. Additional features include impact windows, electric shades, generator, ample storage, and a standing seam metal roof. Tucked within an exclusive gated community on North Manasota Key, this estate is a private, hurricane-damage-free haven surrounded by lush tropical landscaping and a privacy wall. Just steps from your own secluded beach, this is a rare opportunity to own one of Southwest Florida’s most extraordinary coastal properties.
