The exquisite island of Casey Key sets the stage for this unique estate, designed for a British gentleman by Sarasota architect Tollyn Twitchell and built by Aaron Twitchell, defined by its sublime infusion of tropical tranquility with European elegance. 200 ft. on the Gulf of Mexico with protective seawall provides an extraordinary canvas for the property, encompassing a principal Gulf-front residence, a guest beach house and a bayfront residence. A stately turret on the main home’s exterior establishes European flair, before the striking azure of the Gulf comes into view. Once inside, a subtle yet rich palette of Imbuia Brazilian hardwood flooring and custom carved doors contrasts the vibrant Gulf views. Highlights include an enchanting greenhouse/solarium, guest suite, office/library, deluxe kitchen and master suite with a Gulf-front balcony that evokes stepping out to a ship’s bow. Outdoor living is serene and spectacular, whether lounging by the infinity pool that seems to meet the ocean or enjoying walks through the expansive gardens. The auto enthusiast will appreciate the workshop/man cave to accommodate exotic vehicles. On the Bay side, the cottage is accompanied by a private boat dock and seawall. The 8-mile barrier island of Casey Key is a testament to low-key luxury, where the pace of life reflects the gentle lap of waves on the shore. Here, residents experience the ultimate in privacy, with the convenience of shopping, dining, and cultural amenities only moments away in Venice and Sarasota.
