Some homes are defined by their architecture, others by their setting. Casa Flamingo is a rare convergence of both, offering a distinctive vision of waterfront living on the coveted north end of Siesta Key. Set across nearly an acre of lush grounds, this custom-built estate encompasses nearly 10,000sqft of total space, ideal for multi-generational living. Beyond the gated entrance, a palm-lined drive passes beneath the guest house's striking arched passageway, opening to a courtyard where hand-carved Cantera stone introduces the shimmering waters of a 45-ft long pool. The grounds unfold toward the waterfront, where white sand creates a private beach-like retreat, complete with a launch for kayaking and a private dock and lift. Along the protected waters of Hanson Bayou, deep-water boating offers effortless access to the Gulf of Mexico without fixed bridges. Here, outdoor living takes on an entirely different dimension, with spaces designed for leisurely afternoons and sunset gatherings. The main residence centers around an expansive great room and chef's kitchen, complemented by an expansive primary suite and additional guest accommodations. Elevated above the entrance, the separate guest house offers a private retreat for family and guests. Completing the estate is an oversized 3-car garage. From the private dock, Sarasota Bay, Big Pass, and the open Gulf become an extension of everyday life. Casa Flamingo offers a rare opportunity to experience the north end of Siesta Key, with Sarasota's celebrated dining, cultural destinations, and boutique shopping just moments away.
