Tranquility abounds as you enter the gates of Sandhamn Place, developed by Peder Wallenberg and named after a quaint fishing village just outside of Stockholm Sweden. A private canopied road winds through this sanctuary of nine custom designed waterfront homes, all enjoying expansive views of Sarasota Bay. Be among the privileged few that can call Sandhamn Place their home on Longboat Key, with no tear downs to pass and no barnacle encrusted seawalls staring back at you and no through traffic to tolerate; just 50 square miles of the beautiful bay with only leisurely kayakers & paddleboarders, frolicking dolphins and meandering manatees passing by. Sandhamn Place has its own tennis court and marina with deeded boat slips and is ideally located near the center of Longboat Key, just a short distance from some the island's finest restaurants, shops and conveniences as well as Durante Park, a 32 acre nature preserve with overhanging mangrove walking trails. The home was designed with Key West in mind and offers a relaxed lifestyle at the end of the cul de sac with its own private observation dock extended out into the bay that can be accessed from the screened lanai and heated pool or from the upstairs deck adjoining the primary ensuite bedroom overlooking Sarasota Bay.
