About This Property

Exclusively situated on 5.1 expansive acres, this custom-built Sarasota estate is masterfully designed as a fully self-contained private family enclave. Completely insulated from the outside world, the property is introduced by a long, palm-lined approach and a sweeping circular paver driveway, where total privacy and the Florida lifestyle are immediately evident. The primary residence spans 6,721 square feet of luxurious living space, making a grand architectural statement the moment you enter a foyer flanked by towering 24-foot ceilings. The estate showcases abundant natural light, French doors and rich maple built-ins throughout. At the heart of the home, the epicurean kitchen features elite millwork by Campbell Cabinetry, a spacious L-shaped island, a butler's pantry, and professional-grade Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances—including dual ovens and a specialized warming drawer. The fluid floor plan offers unmatched versatility, hosting a formal dining room with custom tray ceilings, a magnificent Great Room with fireplace under a 22-foot ceiling, two separate private offices, one of which has a wood-beamed cedar ceiling, and a spectacular, approximately 1,000-square-foot recreation wing outfitted with its own full kitchen and bath. Retreat to the first-floor owner’s suite, an elegant sanctuary featuring a private sitting area, a spa-inspired bath, and peaceful views overlooking the estate and pool. Outdoor living captures the estate-style relaxation, with a vast screened lanai and a sparkling saltwater pool overlooking open lawns and mature perimeter landscaping that naturally buffers the property. Recreational amenities are premier, featuring an integrated basketball court and a dedicated section of the driveway already marked for pickleball. The sprawling grounds serve as a grand retreat, anchored by an exceptional detached multi-car garage pavilion. Perfect for collectors or specialized hobbyists, this secondary structure features oversized 11-foot doors, a dedicated RV and boat storage area, carport, and a versatile, fully plumbed auxiliary suite with a full shower, ideal as a detached executive workspace or private retreat. Unequaled in structural integrity, the home functions as a fortified private fortress engineered with poured-concrete construction, comprehensive rebar reinforcement, elevated foundation, standby generator, salt-and-carbon water filtration system, separate sprinkler well, and advanced 13-camera security system. Providing space perfectly zoned to accommodate equestrian pursuits, miniature horses, alpacas, or exotic hobby collections, the OUE1 acreage offers absolute lifestyle freedom, all while being securely situated in Flood Zone X, with an exceptionally low annual HOA fee and no CDD. Positioned at the absolute center of convenience, the estate sits just 3.5 miles from Waterside Place, 4 miles from the University Town Center district, and 4.5 miles from Main Street Lakewood Ranch—placing championship golf courses, premier dining, luxury shopping, and active community calendars right at your fingertips.
