Set on 4.55 acres at the very end of prestigious W Gulf Drive, known as Sanibel's prestigious Gold Coast, on a private cul-de-sac, this extraordinary beachfront estate offers 245 ft of direct Beach & Gulf frontage, exceptional privacy, and a caliber of craftsmanship rarely seen anywhere in SWFL. Built without compromise, and running parallel to the sunset, allowing the home to capture Sanibel’s legendary Gulf views & Sunsets. A rare legacy estate. Encompassing nearly 20,000 SF with 6 bedrooms, a private office, 6.5 baths, and white-sand beach & water views from every room. Grand in scale yet livable, conceived as a multigenerational coastal retreat, suited for intimate family life, extended guest stays, and entertaining. Professionally decorated & furnished, a reflection of craftsmanship. The great room is dramatic and refined, anchored by 3 custom Barlas Baylar chandeliers, a hand-carved Calacatta marble fireplace mantel, herringbone hickory floors, mahogany ceiling beams with integrated surround sound, and concealed air systems preserving clean architectural lines. A full-length illuminated bar with underlit crystal counters brings the ambiance of a private five-star lounge, while integrated Crestron & Lutron systems provide sophisticated control of lighting, media, comfort, and shade. A Chef’s kitchen & separate service kitchen are outfitted with Thermador Pro Appliances, custom cabinetry, designer hardware, and a full butler’s pantry, ideal for private chef service & entertaining.
