Under contract-accepting backup offers. Tucked behind a gate on a quiet, private road in one of Sarasota’s most sought-after neighborhoods, this is the kind of property families wait years for—where space, privacy, and lifestyle all come together just minutes from everything. Located West of Trail, just blocks from Southside Elementary and Southside Village, and a short drive to downtown Sarasota and Siesta Key Beach, this estate offers a rare balance: a secure, expansive family compound in the heart of it all. Set on over half an acre and fully gated, fenced, and lushly landscaped, the property is designed for those who want room to live, grow, and entertain privately—without sacrificing convenience. The main residence spans nearly 4, 000 square feet with 5 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, 2 half baths, a private office, and a large game room or playroom with its own wet bar—perfect for families who need flexibility in how they live day-to-day. Whether it’s a dedicated workspace, kids’ zone, or media room, the layout adapts to your lifestyle. The kitchen is built for real life and entertaining alike, featuring Viking appliances, generous storage, and an open flow into the main living areas and outdoor spaces. Every bedroom includes an ensuite bath, offering comfort and privacy for family and guests. Step outside and the home truly opens up. A large covered lanai with outdoor kitchen overlooks the heated, self-sanitizing saltwater pool and spa, with a sunken firepit seating area creating a natural gathering space for evenings with friends or family. A dedicated pool bath adds convenience, while the entire outdoor experience is designed for year-round Florida living. For those who need more than just bedrooms, the detached guest apartment above the garage provides over 700 square feet of private living space—ideal for multi-generational living, a nanny suite, long-term guests, a studio, or a secluded home office. And for the car enthusiast or collector, this property stands apart. With 5+ climate-controlled garage spaces—including room for lifts—plus a large all-season carport with motorized louvers, you have the flexibility to showcase, protect, and enjoy your collection. The garages are outfitted with SwissTrax flooring, vacuum systems, and Mitsubishi in-wall AC units—built with intention, not as an afterthought. Beyond comfort and design, the home is equipped for peace of mind. Impact windows and doors, a full CCTV security system, smart home integration, and a Generac generator ensure both safety and ease of living. This is a home for a family who wants it all—space to spread out, privacy to feel secure, proximity to top schools and amenities, and the ability to live an active Sarasota lifestyle, whether that’s golf cart rides to dinner, beach days on Siesta Key, or quiet evenings at home. Because homes that check every box like this—location, land, layout, and lifestyle—are rare. And when they come up, they don’t last.
