The spectacular home occupies a unique 18590 sq ft triangular property and has over 500 feet of water frontage projecting directly into the pristine waters of Bimini Bay. Every detail of this 2020 custom home was carefully designed to take full advantage of this very special location, steps from the beaches of Anna Maria, yet with deep water boating and no bridges to the Gulf of Mexico. With water views from every window the peaceful ambiance of this location provides a private retreat only for the most discerning of buyers. Entering through private gates into the lush tropical courtyard you will see the bridge connecting the primary home to the guest house. If you walk the exterior, you will see the inlet with a 12,000 lb boat lift next to a 60ft dock for your cruiser. The size of the property allows for the resort like pool with fire and waterfalls, a man-made sandy beach and a spectacular fire pit at the tip of the property. All safely protected by the reinforced concrete seawall.The gated breezeway leading from the Courtyard to the pool also leads to the elevated main floor via the solid walnut staircase or the Vertech residential glass walled elevator.
