Offered for the first time, this extraordinary custom-built waterfront estate is a rare architectural expression blending Mediterranean style architecture with Spanish hacienda influences, thoughtfully designed by renowned Southwest Florida architect Bud Lawrence and constructed by a highly respected custom home builder. The residence reflects exceptional craftsmanship, intentional design, and a true pride of ownership rarely found in today’s market. Set within a private, gated waterfront community just minutes from Sanibel and Captiva Islands, the home is arranged in a secluded courtyard-style layout with a separate guest casita, creating a resort-like sense of privacy and tranquility. Warm hand-troweled stucco, classic clay tile roofing, graceful arched entries, decorative ironwork, and rich architectural textures define the exterior, blending seamlessly with the timeless character of Florida Mediterranean and Spanish hacienda design. For boating enthusiasts, the brand-new 2023 private dock by Stokes Marine is a standout feature, thoughtfully positioned along the Caloosahatchee River and extending from the expansive rear paver terrace. The dock includes a 14,000-lb boat lift designed to accommodate vessels up to approximately 36 feet in length and 10’6” in width, offering direct access to deep-water river channels, Pine Island Sound, and the Gulf of Mexico, making island hopping, waterfront dining, and world-class fishing effortlessly accessible from your own backyard. At the heart of the home, the private courtyard serves as a central gathering space, complete with a beautifully designed pool and spa, custom tile accents, covered seating areas, and inviting outdoor living spaces ideal for both quiet relaxation and entertaining. Multiple lanais and balconies extend the living experience outdoors, while mature landscaping and palm trees enhance privacy and ambiance. Inside, the home showcases artisan craftsmanship and architectural detail throughout. Extensive custom woodwork, exposed beam ceilings, sculpted ceiling features, carved columns, arched openings, and handcrafted tile accents create warmth, depth, and character across the living spaces. Custom built-ins, niches, and thoughtfully selected finishes further enhance both beauty and functionality. Indoor and outdoor living come together effortlessly, with expansive openings and well-placed glass doors drawing in natural light and framing breathtaking waterfront views from multiple rooms. The home is equipped with impact-resistant windows and doors for peace of mind, along with a large whole-home generator providing reliable backup power. Multiple gathering areas flow naturally from one space to the next, perfect for everyday living, hosting family and friends, or entertaining on a grand scale. Fireside seating areas, open living rooms, and generous entertaining spaces connect seamlessly to the outdoor courtyards, lanais, and balconies.
