Property Description

Welcome to Villa Meraviglia—a rare waterfront retreat where extraordinary design, effortless entertaining, and the allure of Sarasota Bay come together in a home designed for an exceptional way of life. Set on 1.22 bayfront acres in the coveted Oyster Bay Estates, Villa Meraviglia enjoys 146 feet of direct frontage along the sparkling waters of Little Sarasota Bay. Here, mornings begin with light dancing across the water, afternoons unfold poolside, and evenings linger over dinner as the sun slips below the horizon. With panoramic western views and year-round sunsets, every day offers a front-row seat to the ever-changing beauty of the bay. Reimagined and completed in 2017, the residence draws inspiration from the worlds most famous waterfront villas. A striking custom gate creates a memorable sense of arrival, while two additional gold-leafed gates offer privacy and discreet access—including a private entrance to the neighboring yacht club. Inside, nearly 10,700 square feet of refined living space is complemented by more than 4,000 square feet of additional air-conditioned space devoted to leisure, entertainment, and creativity. Four beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with a private ensuite bath, provide tranquil retreats, complemented by two stylish powder rooms for guests. The heart of the home is designed around gathering. With dual Clive Christian-inspired kitchens, every occasion, from a quiet breakfast to a celebratory dinner, unfolds with ease. Throughout the residence, Venetian plaster walls, 23-carat gold-gilded millwork, hand-painted frescoes, pecky cypress ceilings, stone-inlaid courtyards, and imported Italian materials create an atmosphere that feels timeless, distinctive, and deeply personal. And then there are the spaces designed simply for enjoying life. The expansive leisure level invites lingering afternoons and lively evenings, with a dedicated billiards area, ping pong, a private media room, and an inviting mah-jongg space for games, conversation, and time spent together. Whether it is a family movie night, a spirited game of pool, or an evening gathered with friends, every space encourages connection. Outside, life naturally moves toward the water. Layered terraces create intimate settings for morning coffee, leisurely lunches, sunset cocktails, and quiet evenings beneath the stars. The resort-style pool becomes the center of summer days, while the octagonal pavilion and beautifully crafted summer kitchen set the stage for effortless outdoor entertaining. The pool terrace is a destination in itself. Italian marble unfolds across the deck with intricate mosaics framing the water. A dramatic Medusa-inspired walkway draws you toward the private dock, where boat and jet-ski lifts make bay days effortless. From a morning cruise to an afternoon swim or a sunset ride across the water, the bay is always within reach. Here, luxury is something to experience. It is barefoot afternoons by the pool, dinners that stretch late into the evening, boats heading out at golden hour, and quiet mornings when the bay is perfectly still. Private and serene, yet close to The Field Club, Sarasota’s celebrated arts and dining scene, and the Gulf’s beautiful beaches, Villa Meraviglia offers a rare opportunity to live surrounded by beauty while remaining effortlessly connected to everything that makes Sarasota special. A remarkable home, an extraordinary setting, and a lifestyle meant to be savored.
