Property Description
Under Construction. PRE-AUCTION: Bidder registration deadline: 5 November.
Rising on nearly two private Gulf-front acres, this visionary estate is poised to become one of the most architecturally significant residences conceived on Longboat Key. Designed by internationally acclaimed Sweet Sparkman Architecture and Interiors, the sculptural home pairs bold modern form with coastal sensitivity, framing uninterrupted Gulf views from a dramatic foyer, open great room, and sweeping terraces. Dual kitchens, a temperature-controlled wine cellar, dedicated space for a private cinema, and rooftop deck elevate daily living and grand-scale entertaining, while a guest house and pool house extend privacy and flexibility. Lush resort-style grounds unfold to a shimmering pool and spa. Offered at a pivotal stage of construction, the estate presents a rare chance to shape an enduring Gulf-front legacy.
