Along the water’s edge in Osprey, 101 Osprey Point Drive pairs lakefront living with elevated architecture in a Bo MacEwen-designed estate. Privately positioned on nearly an acre, it sits within the gates of Sarasota’s prestigious Oaks Bayside community, where a sense of retreat comes built in. Spanning more than 5,000 square feet, the residence extends across two of the community’s most desirable homesites—an unusually expansive setting that reads as both composed and quietly commanding. With 150 feet of water frontage, the landscape and lake become a daily backdrop, shaping everything from morning routines to evenings at home. The result is a property defined by scale, privacy, and a rare waterfront footprint, offering a grounded, serene rhythm that feels distinctly of its setting.

Along the water’s edge in Fort Myers’ Town and River, 846 Cypress Lake Circle is a 2025-completed estate built with a rare emphasis on longevity and performance. Full CBS construction across both levels is paired with poured concrete floors upstairs and down, a standing-seam metal roof, and impact-rated PGT windows and doors throughout—details that register as quiet confidence the moment you arrive. Inside, the layout spreads across four large bedrooms, an office, and five full bathrooms, with an expansive laundry room that keeps daily life streamlined. Soaring 20-foot ceilings lend a sense of volume and lightness without tipping into formality. An oversized three-car garage offers ample height for car lifts, balancing practicality with polish. It’s a setting designed to feel equally natural on a calm evening or with a full house.

Beyond a private gated entrance, a sweeping drive curves around the front pond to this 5.6-acre Sarasota estate, designed for privacy, scale, and effortless entertaining. Inside, soaring 24-foot ceilings elevate the great room, while a theater room and a generous game room—with full bar, balcony, and loft—set the stage for lively evenings at home. Refined finishes include Venetian plaster walls and custom cherry wood in-lay flooring. The primary suite is its own retreat, offering dual oversized walk-in closets, an exercise room with sauna, and a spa-inspired bath, complemented by four additional en-suite bedrooms. Outdoors, a resort-style pool area is paired with a redesigned pool deck featuring pavers and turf, plus an outdoor kitchen, mature landscaping, and room for additional structures. It all unfolds just minutes from downtown Sarasota, Siesta Key Beach, and I-75.

Within the gates of Mediterra in Naples, 16469 Celebrita Ct presents a considered, designed, intentional Mediterranean estate focused on privacy and modern luxury. The residence offers four bedrooms plus a den, along with four full baths and one half bath—an accommodating layout that balances everyday comfort with flexible space. Set on an oversized, impeccably curated lot, the setting is described as feeling worlds away from the neighborhood, reading instead like a secluded botanical retreat. That sense of separation shapes the daily experience, where the home’s elevated design is matched by an atmosphere of calm and discretion. It’s a property that favors thoughtful living over spectacle, with grounds and placement that encourage quiet mornings, unhurried evenings, and a distinct feeling of escape.
