Offered for the first time, this extraordinary custom-built waterfront estate is a rare architectural expression inspired by the timeless beauty and heritage of Santa Fe. Thoughtfully designed by renowned Southwest Florida architect Bud Lawrence and constructed by a highly respected custom home builder, the residence reflects a true labor of love, craftsmanship, and intentional design rarely found in today’s market. Set within a private, gated waterfront community just minutes from Sanibel and Captiva Islands, the home is arranged in a secluded courtyard-style layout with a separate guest casita, creating a resort-like sense of privacy and tranquility. Warm, hand-troweled stucco, classic clay tile roofing, arched entries, decorative ironwork, and rich architectural textures define the exterior, evoking the charm of authentic Santa Fe estates while blending seamlessly into the Southwest Florida coastal environment. At the heart of the home, the private courtyard serves as a central gathering space, complete with a beautifully designed pool and spa, custom tile accents, covered seating areas, and inviting outdoor living spaces ideal for both quiet relaxation and entertaining. Multiple lanais and balconies extend the living experience outdoors, while mature landscaping and palm trees enhance privacy and ambiance.
Inside, the home is a true celebration of Santa Fe craftsmanship. Extensive custom woodwork, exposed beam ceilings, sculpted ceiling details, carved columns, arched openings, and artisan tile accents create layers of character and authenticity that can only be fully appreciated by those who truly value the architectural heritage of the Southwest. Custom built-ins, nichos, and thoughtfully curated finishes add depth and warmth throughout the living spaces.Indoor and outdoor living come together effortlessly, with expansive openings and well-placed glass doors drawing in natural light and framing breathtaking waterfront views from multiple rooms. The home offers multiple gathering areas designed to flow naturally from one space to the next, perfect for everyday living, hosting family and friends, or entertaining on a grand scale. Fireside seating areas, art-filled living rooms, and open entertaining spaces all connect seamlessly to the outdoor courtyards, lanais, and balconies.
Boating enthusiasts will appreciate the home’s prime waterfront setting with quick access to the bay and Gulf of Mexico, offering world-class fishing, island hopping, and waterfront dining by boat. This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to own a custom architectural residence where Santa Fe soul, Southwest Florida lifestyle, and waterfront living come together in perfect harmony
