The family room is brightened by cathedral ceiling windows, anchored by an incredible, two-story stone fireplace that creates a cozy, serene space that is connected to the screen porch by a wall of expansive sliding doors and breathtaking beach views. The main level hosts the private primary suite, a sanctuary with high ceilings, abundant natural light, and an ensuite bathroom featuring a soaking tub, shower, vanity with extensive space and two walk in closets. The bedroom has beach views and sliding doors that open to the covered porch, which has floor to ceiling screens and runs the full 80’ length of the home connecting it with the family room, kitchen, dining and living rooms. The porch ties the entire main floor together and provides a weather protected perch to enjoy spectacular Gulf views and mesmerizing sunsets. A private office with a wall of built-in drawers and glass cabinets is the perfect venue for remote working and completes the main living level. The upper floor offers a perfect oasis for family or guests, featuring two spacious bedroom suites with sliding glass doors that open onto an expansive sundeck with incredible, panoramic views of the Gulf while providing a private, sunbathing space. A third bedroom flooded with natural light overlooks the front of the property. The ground floor has a covered entry located just off the circular driveway that opens to a two and ½ story entry hall, stairway and private elevator servicing all three floors. It includes garages for three cars, storage for kayaks, watersports, bikes, and outdoor gear. A finished, expansive recreation room with tile floors opens, via glass sliding doors, to a private outdoor oasis featuring a lawn and plantings, sun drenched patio, heated saltwater swimming pool, oversized heated spa, and an outdoor shower. This haven is hidden from the view of beachcombers and sunbathers by 200 feet of environmentally protected rolling sand dunes alive with native vegetation including sea oats and sea grapes that host local wildlife, including gopher tortoises, the estates’ namesake. A private, serpentine path connects your oasis to the Gulf waters and the sands of Turtle Beach. This Florida dream home isn’t just a residence; it’s a gateway to a lifestyle of sun, sand, and endless possibilities. Embrace the natural beauty, savor the beachside bliss, and make every day a celebration of the vibrant culture that surrounds your perfect home in Siesta Key.¤ Please see 3D Tour and Video ¤,
