“Oasis by the Sea” is a beachfront estate designed by renowned modern architect Guy Peterson and completed in 2008 by master builder Michael Walker. This home is the Silver winner of SRQ Magazine’s Annual Home of the Year award whose aesthetic is defined by a main pavilion providing full beach views through floor-to-ceiling glass for unobstructed, panoramic views of the Gulf. This space is for the sophisticated collector who desires not only a taste of the Hamptons in a perennially warm climate, but a cultural mecca for the visual and performing arts offered by Sarasota. It is of museum quality and elegance–a beach oasis for world travelers with an appreciation of casual elegance. This home, situated on over 1.3 acres, boasts a 5-car garage, 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, a home theatre with kitchenette and acoustic walls, 8 place reclining leather seating, 8 camera digital security system with web/TV access, 60 foot salt water lap pool with auto cover, 4′ sun lounge and separate spa, a dedicated workout room, professional landscaping, beach walkover, home generator, 130 mph rated windows/doors, smart home control with Crestron, Litetouch and Lutron controlling audio, lighting, automated shades. For the finest in modern design, and 8 miles of beach on Casey Key with no traffic lights and no high-rise condominiums, this is a unique opportunity to own a magnificent piece of art in architecture

Enter Villa Toscana through a secluded circular motor court and you encounter a burnt-Sienna facade, characterized by some as “caramelized adobe”. Perfectly in scale with its height and width, it is tranquilly located on the property with wide setbacks from the adjoining properties. As you pass through the stone door surround, wrought iron gates, and heavy mesquite doors carved in San Miguel de Allende, your eye is immediately drawn through the central courtyard, past rows of stone columns, through tall mahogany doors to Little Sarasota Bay, which from this perspective looks like an infinity edge pool. But as quickly as you are pulled outside, you are pulled back to the carved wooden canopy vault that introduces you to the courtyard’s vaulted ceiling fireplace and fountain. And then, room after room, your eyes are blazoned with exquisite hand-crafted materials: carved book cases, stained glass insets in 8-foot mahogany doors, carved stone pedestals, hand forged railings, and a Renaissance library/dining table. Villa Toscana embodies casual elegance in which the tropical garden filled with native plants 50-years old provides the reason for the villa to exist. A true masterpiece awaits you on Casey Key where you will find no high rises and no traffic lights.

Enter the grounds of Casa Amalfi, newly renovated/remodelled in 2008, and find perfection for both casual living and elegant entertaining. Dine al fresco on the stone patio overlooking the pool, terraced gardens and Blackburn bay beyond. Sip aperitifs from the elegant 2nd level terrace overlooking the bay. Bask in the old world beauty of hand carved panelling in the library and wet bar, the 18ft hewn stone fireplace, hand carved cabinetry in the chef’s kitchen, and stencilled beamed ceilings reminiscent of Mizner architecture. Enjoy boating and fishing from the dock or beachcombing while walking the mostly private 8 mile beach. This is island living at its best, on Casey Key where you will find no traffic lights and no high rise condominiums.
