About this home
Inspired by the timeless grandeur of Louisiana's legendary Oak Alley Plantation, this extraordinary Gulf-to-lagoon estate is one of the most architecturally distinctive residences on Siesta Key. Positioned on a rare 1.97-acre Gulf-to-bay homesite within the private gates of The Sanderling Club, this home evokes the sophistication of a Southern manor while embracing the relaxed sophistication of Florida's Gulf Coast. A sweeping palm-lined drive, stately columned façade, and symmetrical architecture create a memorable first impression, echoing the enduring beauty that inspired its design. Constructed by Christner Bros., the residence encompasses approximately 8,209 square feet under air with four bedrooms, four full baths, one half bath, elevator access, and an oversized five-car collector's garage with dedicated workshop space. Designed for both grand-scale entertaining and refined everyday living, the home showcases soaring ceilings, handcrafted millwork, marble flooring, and a dramatic curved staircase that anchors the elegant interiors. Expansive living and dining rooms flow effortlessly onto an exceptional wraparound covered terrace, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living while framing panoramic views of the Gulf of Mexico, Heron Lagoon, and the surrounding tropical landscape. The chef's kitchen is equally suited for intimate gatherings and large-scale entertaining, featuring custom cabinetry, granite countertops, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, double wall ovens, generous preparation areas, and direct terrace access. A richly detailed executive office with custom built-ins, an extensive butler's pantry, media room, and abundant utility spaces further enhance the home's thoughtful design. The primary suite is a private sanctuary with terrace access, generous sitting areas, and a spa-inspired bath featuring dual vanities, extensive custom cabinetry, a walk-in shower, and abundant natural light. Three additional guest suites, each with en-suite baths, provide luxurious accommodations while overlooking the estate's lush tropical grounds. The lower level offers exceptional flexibility with expansive bonus space ideal for a wellness center, fitness studio, golf simulator, game room, collector's gallery, workshop, or additional recreational living. Impact-rated windows and doors, hurricane shutters and screens, a security system, and a newer 24-kW Kohler generator contribute to the home's enduring quality and peace of mind. The estate's setting is equally remarkable. With approximately 150 feet of pristine Gulf frontage and 150 feet of frontage along tranquil Heron Lagoon, opportunities to own a true Gulf-to-lagoon property are exceedingly rare. Launch a kayak or paddleboard from the private dock, spend afternoons on the secluded beach, or experience spectacular sunsets over the Gulf from your own backyard. Residents also enjoy the exclusive amenities of The Sanderling Club, including a private beach, marina, tennis courts, clubhouse, and one of Siesta Key's most private and prestigious waterfront communities. Just beyond the gates await Siesta Key's internationally acclaimed quartz-sand beaches, the boutiques and restaurants of Siesta Village, and the arts, dining, and cultural attractions of downtown Sarasota. 8132 Sanderling Road is a legacy estate where inspired architecture, timeless elegance, and one of Florida's rarest Gulf-to-lagoon settings come together to create an offering of exceptional significance....
