2305 Casey Key Rd

Nestled on 149 feet of private sandy walking beach, this six-bedroom estate has been masterfully crafted by discerning owners to create an unparalleled Gulf-front living experience. Upon entrance, family and guests are greeted by dazzling views of the Gulf of Mexico, which takes center stage amid the soaring architecture and stately double staircase. Throughout the 9,048-square-foot residence, formal and casual spaces establish a grand yet intimate ambiance, whether preparing a leisurely brunch in the deluxe Gulf-front kitchen, raising a toast in the striking octagonal formal dining room, watching movies in the Hollywood-inspired theater or catching up on the day's news in one of the two stately offices. The primary retreat is in a class of its own, with mesmerizing views, a classic sitting area and a luxurious bath. An exercise studio, craft room, study, private elevator, 500-bottle walk-in wine cellar and a four-car garage complete the interior. Outdoor living is equally spectacular, from the beachfront heated saltwater pool and fire feature, to the expansive sunset terrace on the second floor. For peace of mind the estate is sited on one of the highest elevations on the west coast of Florida, features a new seawall, as well as hurricane screening throughout. A deeded bayfront dock with a 24,000-lb. lift round out a true waterfront lifestyle. Located just 15 minutes to Venice and 30 minutes to Sarasota, private and commercial air travel is easily accessible. Nearby shopping, restaurants, country clubs, golf and cultural attractions provide delightful excursions. Enveloped by tropical splendor, this estate exemplifies Gulf-front living on the exclusive barrier island of Casey Key.
