5965 Gulf Of Mexico Drive, Longboat Key, FL 34228 listing details

Magnificently poised on 2.57 pristine acres on the Gulf of Mexico, you'll find Ohana, a breathtaking tropical hideaway inspired by the spirit of coastal South Africa and southern Indonesia. Envisioned by the owner & brought to life by acclaimed ArchitectGuy Peterson & Master Builder Michael Walker, Ohana is truly a rare private retreat composed of an enclave of organic structures extending to meet the Gulf with a hardened seawall, preserving privacy while ensuring shore protection. The residence encompasses three pavilions reminiscent of a Balinese luxury resort, providing transitional space for extended family to enjoy the incredible living areas, & for guests to discover their stunning private beach house. Masterfully finished, the main home presents living spaces lined by an open terrace, where endless views of the shimmering Gulf evoke the sense of a remote island paradise. Natural Hemingway coral stone courtyards & walkways lead gracefully to outdoor living areas, brimming with exotic palms & nativeplants as designed by world-renowned landscaping architect Raymond Jungles. Enjoy a game of tennis from the private court, a refreshing swim in the free-form pool with elevated spa, or entertain in spectacular style as you dine al-fresco beneath the grand palm thatched canopy looking out to the horizon. Take a few steps toward the shore to miles of white sandy beach, where days are beautifully-spent soaking up the Florida sun, which seems to shine just a little brighter over Ohana.
