Property Description

Luxury Coastal Living Redefined – A Waterfront Sanctuary on Sanibel Island
Where the wide bay meets the deep canal, this extraordinary residence delivers a lifestyle that feels more like living aboard a private yacht than a traditional home. Surrounded by water on both the front and back, with sweeping views of the bay to one side and one of Sanibel's widest, deepest sailboat-access canals to the other, this home offers an unrivaled island experience. A lush expanse of protected mangrove tidal marshland wraps the property, ensuring privacy and a true sense of coastal seclusion. A Boater's Dream. A Designer's Vision. Positioned on a direct-access canal with no bridges—ideal for sailboats and large vessels—this property sits in one of the most coveted locations for serious boaters.
Designed with a reverse floor plan to elevate your views where they matter most, every space feels intentional and luxurious. High above it all, 2-story ceilings with clerestory windows flood the interiors with light, while wraparound lanais and expansive outdoor decks on every level invite you to watch dolphins cruise the canal or pelicans dive into the bay. Ultimate Entertaining Meets Yacht-Inspired Sophistication. The kitchen is a showpiece—crafted for entertaining and inspired by luxury marine design. Custom teak-front cabinetry, created by a designer for Tiara Yachts, sets the tone. SubZero refrigeration, freezer, and wine towers, dual Miele wall ovens and warming drawer, wet bar with wine fridge and standalone ice maker mean you're fully equipped for any gathering, from sunset cocktails to seafood feasts. In the main living area, a sleek gas fireplace adds ambiance, featuring a motorized enclosure to discreetly hide the TV when not in use. Smart home features include a Lutron lighting system and Hunter Douglas automated window treatments throughout. A Primary Suite Like No Other The owner's suite is a masterstroke of design, channeling the elegance of a multimillion-dollar yacht. An oversized double vanity is constructed using flawless granite slabs that also form the raised platform beneath the two-person Jacuzzi tub. A walk-through dressing area with bespoke teak cabinetry by the same Tiara yacht designer, balances form and function with nautical precision. Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living On the east side of the home, a semi-covered pool provides the perfect spot to unwind after a day on the water—whether basking in the sun or relaxing in the shade. And with a 47 kW whole-home generator powered by a buried 1,000-gallon propane tank, peace of mind comes built in. This is not just a home—it's a coastal escape engineered for those who demand excellence, adventure, and tranquility in equal measure. Sanibel waterfront living at its peak. Welcome aboard.
