Combine international award-winning architecture, the extraordinary Gulf to Bay location and the motivated heirs of this outstanding estate, the result is no less than an opportunity of a lifetime. Welcome to West Wind, the main house and a sprawling modern masterpiece gracing the exclusive north-end of Casey Key with dreamy views of both the Gulf and Bay. Created by New York architect and former architecture department chair at Harvard, Toshiko Mori, the residence is a curated study in how to create awe-inspiring spaces using natural surroundings. The sun hits the prized dichroic glass prism, diffusing daylight from clerestory windows into a spectrum of colors creating a living-art spectacular. Solid concrete construction by renowned builder, Michael K. Walker & Assoc. The completely renovated 2-bedroom guest house which formerly served as barracks for the U.S. Coast Guard enjoys incredible Gulf of Mexico views from every room and a dream terrace perched above the palms. 3 car-garage. Meandering through botanical gardens on over 1.6 acres, a private pool and 1-bedroom guest quarters plus pavilion w/a large covered terrace enjoy expansive views of Little Sarasota Bay. The dock was built in 2002. Enjoy sunrise over the Bay and sunset over the Gulf on Casey Key, an island paradise where life is about dipping your toes in the sand and then boarding your boat to explore the Bay waters. The cultural city of Sarasota and the quaint city of Venice are nearby. This defines island living at its best.
