Property Description
Welcome to Villa Meraviglia — A Home Beyond Imagination. An extraordinary Neo-Classical Italian Renaissance estate set on 1.22 bayfront acres in Sarasota's exclusive Oyster Bay Estates. With 146 feet of direct frontage along the sparkling waters of Little Sarasota Bay and panoramic water views, this remarkable walled and gated property is both an architectural living gallery and a warm, inviting home designed to be lived in, enjoyed, and shared. Completely reimagined and expanded under the guidance of a classically trained Italian architect, the residence draws inspiration from Italy's Villa del Balbianello and the iconic Casa Casuarina. A bold metallic gate crowned with a striking Medusa head introduces the arrival experience, while two additional gold-leafed gates provide secure access, including a private entry to the neighboring yacht club. More than 800 feet of custom perimeter wall creates a dramatic architectural statement and exceptional privacy. Spanning nearly 10,700 square feet of refined interiors, plus more than 4,000 square feet of additional air-conditioned space for creativity and leisure, the home offers gracious yet comfortable spaces for everyday living and entertaining. Four ensuite bedrooms, four full and two half baths, and dual Clive Christian-inspired kitchens accommodate everything from intimate family meals to larger gatherings. Venetian plaster walls, 23-carat gold-gilded millwork, hand-painted frescoes, pecky cypress ceilings, stone-inlaid courtyards, and imported Italian materials reflect exceptional craftsmanship throughout. The waterfront lifestyle is equally compelling. Layered terraces and lush gardens frame peaceful bay views and create inviting places to gather, relax, dine, and enjoy spectacular year-round sunsets. A private dock with boat and jet-ski lifts makes boating and water sports part of everyday life. The resort-style pool, octagonal pavilion, and beautifully crafted summer kitchen create an exceptional outdoor gathering space. The sunken poolside kitchen, featuring a concealed appliance lift, 100-year-old reclaimed Chicago brick flooring, a herringbone-pattern ceiling, and maple dining table, is a warm and welcoming setting for relaxed alfresco meals and time with family and friends. Intimate seating areas throughout the property offer beautiful views in every direction. The pool deck is itself a work of art, with marble imported from Italy forming dramatic geometric patterns inspired by classic mythology. Intricate mosaics surround the pool, while a Medusa mosaic walkway connects the pool area to the dock. Perfectly private yet ideally located near The Field Club and just minutes from Sarasota's cultural scene, fine dining, and Gulf beaches, Villa Meraviglia offers a rare combination of architectural artistry and idyllic coastal living. A home of extraordinary artistry - yet equally designed for gathering, entertaining, enjoying the water, and experiencing the beauty of Sarasota Bay!
