715 N Shore Dr, Anna Maria, FL 34216

Inspired by the natural coastal beauty of Anna Maria Island's shoreline and dunes, this exquisitely private home is brilliantly situated on over three acres along the gentle warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. This stunning residence was fully renovated in 2008 and harmoniously blends into the landscape while graciously combining modern technology with reminiscent Florida charm. Upon entering the gates to this private estate one is enchanted by the serenity of the tropical oasis, delicately blending into the surroundings with the Gulf of Mexico embracing one side of the property and a pond along the other. A meandering stone path along the zen garden passes over a rock waterfall to the cantilevered tiki hut beside the pond. This spacious beachfront home gives way to 180 degree Gulf views, offering multiple large decks providing the perfect backdrop for outdoor living and mesmerizing water and nature views including the many shore birds that visit the dunes and pond. Inside, oversize windows and French doors expand the open plan that flows from great room to outdoor living areas and to sleeping chambers all with en-suite baths. Upstairs the master retreat offers spa bath, private office and outdoor veranda for memorable sunsets and morning reflection. Serenity Now is more than a home, this is a destination and a private island paradise.
