An Exquisite $15.5 Million Gulf-Front Masterclass in Coastal Elegance Hits the Market in Sarasota
A Private Gulf-Front Oasis at the Edge of Siesta Key
Nestled at the end of a tranquil road within the ultra-exclusive Sandy Hook enclave of Siesta Key, 26 Sandy Hook Rd S emerges as a defining example of how contemporary design can fuse with nature to create a sanctuary like no other. Priced at $15.5 million, this 5,175-square-foot residence offers five ensuite bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a dedicated home office, and panoramic Gulf views that stretch into infinity.
This home in Sarasota for sale isn’t just another waterfront listing-it’s a curated lifestyle retreat. With its 2003 construction and meticulous full-scale renovation completed in recent years, the home blends cutting-edge technologies with artisan materials in one of Florida‘s most desirable coastal neighborhoods.
Intelligent Design Meets Coastal Craftsmanship
From the moment one steps through the front door, the home’s elevated sense of scale is undeniable. Soaring ceilings, a rich variety of natural textures, and floor-to-ceiling Andersen impact windows immediately draw the eyes toward the Gulf horizon. The architectural flow of the home leads visitors through grand entertaining spaces, refined private quarters, and out to unforgettable outdoor areas-all integrated with smart-home automation, security systems, and a whole-house generator.
At the heart of the Sarasota real estate is the show-stopping gourmet kitchen, where a Labradorite Lemurian Blue granite island imported from Brazil takes center stage. Outfitted with premium appliances including Wolf, Miele, and Sub-Zero brands-among them, a wine refrigerator, warming drawers, and a built-in steamer-the space invites both daily indulgence and formal entertaining.
“Even among Sarasota’s elite properties, this one stands out,” noted Inbal August, listing agent at Douglas Elliman, in a statement shared with Luxury Houses Magazine. “Every surface, every decision reflects a commitment to excellence-not just in luxury, but in liveability.”
The primary suite is equally refined, featuring a private balcony, dual curbless showers, and a spa-style bath with a unique waterfall feature. The ambience of the suite captures both serenity and splendor, wrapping homeowners in a personalized retreat with mesmerizing Gulf-front exposure.
The Art of Outdoor Living
The luxury continues beyond the sliding glass doors. Expansive balconies and terraces offer spectacular vantage points over the Gulf of Mexico. An outdoor living room with fireplace and integrated television is paired with a Lynx grill kitchen, Perlick refrigeration, and ice-making systems, perfect for hosting under the stars.
“Our client wanted the outside to feel like a five-star resort without losing the intimacy of home,” said August. “It’s the kind of place where weekends feel like vacations, every single day.”
The resort-style pool area is designed to impress. A Jacuzzi spa, sunset-facing fire pit, and poolside theater-complete with dual fireplaces and integrated TVs-anchor the backyard, while professionally landscaped tropical grounds, valued at over $1 million, provide the finishing touch. A mosquito misting system and advanced irrigation network ensure effortless upkeep, making every sunset as enjoyable as the last.

Sandy Hook: Where Privacy Meets Community
Located on nearly one acre, this Sarasota real estate belongs to a rare class of Gulf-front properties with deeded beach access and a true sense of seclusion. The Sandy Hook community is renowned for its gated privacy, golf cart accessibility, and low-density development, allowing every homeowner to experience the best of Siesta Key in quiet luxury.
“There’s no other place quite like it on Florida’s Gulf Coast,” said Rachel Elstrom, a market analyst with Florida Coastal Insights. “Properties like 26 Sandy Hook Rd S rarely hit the market, and when they do, they define Sarasota Real Estate for years to come.”
Just minutes away lies the vibrant Siesta Key Village, known for its artisan eateries, upscale boutiques, and nightlife. A short drive connects residents to Downtown Sarasota, where world-class attractions like The Ringling Museum, Van Wezel Performing Arts Center, and Selby Gardens add depth to the cultural landscape.

An Investment in Gulffront Permanence
As climate-resilient architecture becomes a growing priority, 26 Sandy Hook Rd S is notable for its hurricane-rated construction, metal roof, and elevated slab foundation. The use of non-toxic pest control, native landscaping, and energy-efficient systems further reflects a modern, sustainable approach to beachfront living.
“Buyers at this level are focused on longevity-what will still bring them joy and value in 20 years,” added August. “This home in Sarasota for sale answers that with architecture, technology, and location.”
As a shining star among Sarasota home for sale, this listing is ideal for families, retirees, or investors seeking a Gulffront trophy asset with a soul. It is not just a place to live, but a place to belong.
