1703 Bayshore Rd., Nokomis, FL 34275

Rarely can one say “This home has it all,” but in this case, it is justified. Tucked quietly away on the shores of the Intracoastal Waterway sits this impressive estate. While every amenity is in place to satisfy the most discriminating buyer, one can’t help but feel at ease and relaxed when passing through the gate and onto the gorgeous grounds of this nearly 2-acre park-like setting. Perfectly poised on some of Sarasota’s best boating water with easy access to the Venice Jetties and the Gulf of Mexico is this bit of paradise. Boaters will immediately be delighted by the dock, 2 lifts (16,000 and 10,000 pounds) and accommodations for large vessels. The exceptional main home lacks nothing one would hope to find: gorgeous travertine and hardwood floors, custom cabinetry, expertly crafted millwork, impressive architectural details, high-end appliances and lovely, generous living spaces, which include four bedroom suites, office, bonus room, 1,000-bottle wine cellar and an attached three-car garage. The outdoor spaces are idyllic, with huge pool, fully-equipped summer kitchen and a third-floor veranda with expansive views of the surrounding waterway and the Gulf. What a perfect place to enjoy a breathtaking sunset. There is a gracious guesthouse with full kitchen, two serene koi ponds, 9-hole putting green and, perhaps the most unique feature, a separate air-conditioned 12-car motor salon (possible to store 20 automobiles) with an RV storage area and hookups. Paradise found.
