Set on 1.22 bayfront acres in Oyster Bay Estates, the residence commands 146 feet of direct frontage along the shimmering waters of Little Sarasota Bay. Here, mornings begin with light dancing across the water, afternoons unfold poolside, and evenings linger over dinner as the sun slips below the horizon.

Thoughtful luxuries extend throughout, from bespoke hardware, statement lighting and finishes to an elevator, whole-house generator and three-car garage. And then there are the spaces designed simply for enjoying life. Whether it is a family movie night, a spirited game of pool, or an evening gathered with friends, every space encourages connection. Outside, life naturally moves toward the water. Layered terraces create intimate settings for morning coffee, sunset cocktails, and quiet evenings beneath the stars.

The octagonal pavilion and beautifully crafted summer kitchen, with Chicago brick and a herringbone ceiling adding warmth and character, set the stage for effortless outdoor entertaining. The pool terrace is a destination in itself. Italian marble unfolds across the deck with intricate mosaics framing the water. A dramatic Medusa-inspired walkway draws you toward the private dock, where boat and jet-ski lifts make spontaneous days on the bay part of everyday life. From a morning cruise to a sunset ride across the water, the bay is always within reach. Here, luxury is something to experience.

Private and serene, yet close to The Field Club, Sarasota’s celebrated arts and dining scene, and the Gulf’s beautiful beaches, Villa Meraviglia offers a rare opportunity to live surrounded by beauty while remaining within easy reach of everything that makes Sarasota special. A remarkable home, an extraordinary setting, and a lifestyle meant to be savored.
