Sanderling Centerpiece: Inside Aquadisia on Siesta Key

Once in a while, a property comes along that has everyone’s jaws dropping. Welcome to $18 million Aquadisia on Siesta Key. This magnificent, just listed home for sale resides on world-renowned Siesta Key, a barrier island off the coast of Sarasota and home to what has been named the #1 beach in the United States.

Just south of the Stickney Point Bridge, you’ll discover the Sanderling Club – an exclusive gated community nearly hidden from the main road, Midnight Pass, behind a veil of tropical foliage. Pass the canopy road and the historic, modern cabanas designed by iconic architect Paul Rudolph and then Aquadisia appears, a soul-stirring statement of beachfront living.

The extraordinary property offers almost four acres that includes 529 ft. on the Gulf of Mexico and 155 ft. on Heron Lagoon. A secondary beach house on the Gulf and pool home on the lagoon side provide space, comfort, and luxury for friends and family. But it's the principal beachfront residence, a contemporary landmark woven into the waterfront landscape that truly captivates the senses. With a name like Aquadisia, it's no surprise that a tour through the home is a journey surrounded by water. Daily rituals, from waking in the early morning to sunset dining on the terrace, are accompanied by the soothing, restorative element of water while indulging the senses with the sights, sounds and textures of the shore. Walls of glass, rich woods, quartz and shellstone organically integrate each space with the tropical surroundings. The Master Retreat provides endless Gulf views and a spa-like bath.   All of the architectural details throughout the estate are executed with thought and purpose. The beach-front lagoon  is perfect for pairing with a lounge chair and a good book.   Learn more about Aquadisia on the property detail page or search Siesta Key real estate on MichaelSaunders.com.
