Welcome to Villa Meraviglia - A Home Beyond Imagination. An extraordinary Neo-Classical Italian Renaissance Estate set on 1.22 bayfront acres in Sarasota’s exclusive Oyster Bay Estates. Featuring 146 feet of pristine, direct frontage along the sparkling waters of Little Sarasota Bay, where sweeping panoramic views unfold, this walled and gated estate feels like a grand villa on the shores of Lake Como. A bold metallic gate, crowned with a striking Medusa head, sets the tone for the arrival experience, while two additional gold leafed gates - each equipped with electromagnetic openers - provide secure access, including a private entry to the neighboring yacht club. Encompassing more than 800 feet, the custom perimeter wall is more than a boundary: it’s a commanding architectural statement of luxury and artistry. Completely reimagined and expanded under the guidance of a classically trained Italian architect, the residence blends timeless European artistry with modern luxury. Inspired by Italy’s Villa del Balbianello and the iconic Casa Casuarina, the home showcases exquisite craftsmanship showcasing Venetian plaster walls, custom millwork gilded in 23-carat gold, hand-painted frescos, and pecky cypress ceilings. Spanning nearly 10,700 square feet of refined interiors, and over 4,000 square feet of air-conditioned space tailored for creativity and leisure, the home includes gracious entertaining areas, four ensuite bedrooms, four full and two half baths, and dual Clive Christian inspired kitchens designed for both family living and large-scale entertaining. Marvel at frescoed ceilings, stone-inlaid courtyards, and tranquil terraces that redefine elegance. Outside, lovely layered terraces and lush gardens frame peaceful, unobstructed bay views. A private dock with boat and jet-ski lifts anchors the waterfront lifestyle, while a resort style pool clad in shimmering mosaic tile, an octagonal pavilion, and a beautifully crafted summer kitchen elevate the outdoor experience to true luxury resort living. The sunken poolside kitchen is a beloved family gathering space ideal for relaxed al fresco dining. A large propane grill rises smoothly from its concealed appliance lift, while 100 year old Chicago reclaimed brick flooring, herringbone-pattern ceiling, and a beautiful maple wood dining set, create a warm, inviting ambiance. Thoughtfully curated seating areas capture breathtaking views in every direction, perfectly paired with spectacular year-round sunsets. Dive into luxury with the pool decking that elevates the iconic design of the Versace Property. Large, smooth marble stones imported directly from Italy weave a tapestry of geometric patterns that echo classic mythology. These intricate mosaics, true to Versace's legendary style, envelop the pool and its surroundings with a bold, artistic flair. A delicate Medusa mosaic graces the walkway, seamlessly connecting the pool area to the dock. Every element, from the imported Italian roof tiles to hand cast balustrades and hand painted frescos to the bespoke lighting and hardware reflects a deep commitment to authenticity, artistry, and permanence. Perfectly private yet ideally located near The Field Club and just minutes from Sarasota’s cultural scene, fine dining, and Gulf beaches, Villa Meraviglia stands as a rare masterpiece of design and craftsmanship. A world apart—where Old World elegance meets idyllic coastal living and every detail is a Living Gallery of beauty and craft.
