Overview
Welcome to a once-in-a-generation private waterfront family compound on the coveted north end of Longboat Key—an extraordinary 2.4 acre, fully gated coastal estate that blends architectural mastery, resort-level amenities, and rare development potential. Encompassing four buildable parcels (500, 510, 520 Nomas Way and 6680 Gulf of Mexico Drive), this legacy property offers unparalleled privacy, flexibility, and long-term value. From the moment you arrive, illuminated by classic Bevelo gas lanterns, the estate unfolds with intention and elegance. The custom-designed main residence is complemented by a separate 3-bedroom, 2-bath, 1,850-sq-ft guest home with a detached garage—perfect for extended family, guests, or staff accommodations. Every detail reflects thoughtful craftsmanship, from the 900-bottle red cedar wine cellar to the oversized custom wood-burning fireplace with gas option. Designed for both grand entertaining and everyday indulgence, the chef’s kitchen features natural gas cooking with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, while state-of-the-art home automation and whole-home sound elevate daily living. Step outside to a true private resort: a 15,000-gallon free-form pool with a 1,000-gallon spa, heating and chilling via reverse heat pump and natural gas, and an expansive custom tiki pavilion built for unforgettable gatherings. For boating enthusiasts, this estate is unmatched—165 feet of frontage on Bishops Bayou, two docks, three boat lifts, and deep-water, direct Intracoastal access. Across Gulf of Mexico Drive, deeded private beach access makes turquoise waters and nightly sunsets a daily ritual. Car collectors and hobbyists will appreciate six garages, including an automotive lift, plus a 50’ x 24’ covered pole barn for additional storage. Peace of mind is absolute with a 24-camera security system, safe room, elevator, and a 60kW natural gas generator powering the entire estate during any weather event. Fully fenced and gated, this property offers complete privacy without compromise. This is more than a home—it is a coastal masterpiece, a designer’s dream that exudes sophistication, balance, and harmony. An irreplaceable opportunity to own one of Longboat Key’s most remarkable waterfront estates, where luxury, security, and lifestyle converge in perfect alignment.
