NEW PHOTOS. A NEW VIRTUAL TOURS VIDEO. AN AMAZING PRICE IMPROVEMENT. Now is the time to take another look at 7159 Manasota Key Road. What if your Florida home felt less like a residence and more like your own private resort? What if nearly 3 acres on Lemon Bay could give you room for your family, your friends, your boat...and even a collection of up to 30 cars? Welcome to a property that simply cannot be fully appreciated from a screen. Hidden behind grand gates on nearly 3 private acres, this Mediterranean-inspired waterfront estate unfolds along Lemon Bay as a world of its own. Follow the sweeping drive beneath mature oaks and past tranquil ponds, waterfalls and curated sculptures, and you quickly realize this is anything but an ordinary Gulf Coast home. Inside, a dramatic porte cochre leads to a soaring two-story foyer with double glass doors, stained-glass transoms and a glass elevator. Coffered and tray ceilings, stately columns, marble and travertine flooring, extensive millwork and eight fireplaces create spaces that are grand without sacrificing warmth. With six ensuite bedrooms and 9.5 baths, there is room to gather without giving up privacy. Explore the library with wet bar, media/family room, fitness and meditation rooms, or head upstairs to the rooftop terraces where sunsets and Gulf views become part of the evening routine. At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen features dual islands, Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, a wine refrigerator, ice maker and walk-in pantry, connecting effortlessly to formal and casual dining spaces. The primary suite becomes its own private retreat with Lemon Bay views from a screened terrace, fireplace, sitting area, spa-inspired bath and custom closets. Guest suites continue the resort experience with full lanai access, walk-in closets and ensuite baths. Then step outside. A resurfaced 30' 50' saltwater pool and spa anchors expansive outdoor living areas with a full outdoor kitchen, shaded terraces, pool bath, putting green, bocce and volleyball courts. Follow the property toward the bay and you'll find a private dock with boat lift, and across the street beach access puts the sand and Gulf of Mexico within easy reach. And for the collector? This may be where things get really interesting. The tiled garage can accommodate up to 30 vehicles and features 10 mini-split A/C systems plus extensive storage, creating extraordinary possibilities for an automobile collection, hobby space, entertaining or simply having room for everything. Adding another layer of protection, NEW FLOOD PANELS have just been installed to encompass every opening at the garage level, an important enhancement to this waterfront estate. Is it a waterfront estate? A private resort? A collector's compound? A family retreat? Perhaps it's all of them. 7159 Manasota Key Road deserves a fresh look. Some properties can be understood through photos and specifications. This is one you need to experience in person.
