You must see the film. A masterclass in boldness and individuality, this 8,460-square-foot ranch was artistically conceived by award-winning firm, JKL Design of Sarasota. Every area of the residence has been re-imagined, inside and out. The list of improvements and upgrades is extensive. An extended paved driveway rolls through the 10-plus-acre estate to the stunning façade of this six-bedroom, 5.5-bath showstopper. It’s a welcome approach. Carefully curated with architectural matte black windows, grand 10-foot double entryway doors and ornate outdoor carriage lamps, the residence exudes stateliness and charm. On the interior, the open concept floor plan is graced with elegant European blonde oak flooring and uncommonly smooth level 5 drywall. Sophistication is imbued in the daring and fanciful wall colors and surface treatments. The great room is centrally located, effortlessly connecting the kitchen, lounging, billiards, gaming and entertainment areas, all in a thoughtful and inviting way. Oversized cantilever sconces anchored to a kitchen wall, clad with vintage Americana signage, suspend above the sleek, matte black island countertop, which houses an abundance of storage on two sides. Floating shelves and custom kitchen cabinetry, made of reclaimed wood, were fabricated onsite in the home’s garage workshop. Soaring vaulted ceilings and a bank of windows encase an intimate dining nook that provides table seating for six. Cleverly, a separate working kitchen and scullery reside behind the main kitchen and contains a meal prep station, an abundance of cabinet storage, sink, refrigerator, wall ovens and a gallantly designed cocktail station. The views from here overlook the oversized, heated saltwater pool and spa with white marble sundecks. Each of the two imaginatively styled first-floor primary bedroom suites is drenched in natural light with direct access to the pool and spa. The clawfoot cast iron freestanding tubs are center stage in each dramatic primary bath. Large format tiles and mosaic inlays add sophistication to the oversized showers. Custom walk-in closets provide luxury design elements including stamped leather chests, iron shelving with lighting, custom slide drawers and crafted built-ins. The first floor also boasts a dedicated office for focused work, while the music lounge, complete with baby grand piano, echoes the home’s appreciation for art and culture. The family room, warmed by a modern wood-burning fireplace, offers a cozy retreat. Organized into two wings from the main house, the east wing boasts a four-car garage and a second level loft apartment containing two guest bedroom suites, a movie and gaming area, and kitchenette. The west wing offers a two-car garage and workshop and above it, two additional guest bedrooms, a great room and full bath. Set against a backdrop of serene countryside less than 10 minutes from the highway, and 20 minutes to downtown, this estate offers a rare embodiment of luxurious privacy and accessibility to all Sarasota has to offer. For those who seek a sanctuary and a statement, this estate is an invitation to live boldly, thoughtfully and without compromise. Plan a visit to one of the most celebrated ranches in Sarasota. You’ll be excited you did.
