Lush landscaping surrounds the property, creating a verdant backdrop for your secure coastal retreat.

Step inside the two-story foyer with dramatic winding staircase and you’re immediately met with shimmering turquoise water views of the Gulf beyond. No feature or luxury finish was spared. Discover soaring 12-foot ceilings, marble countertops, and a marble fireplace, complemented by substantial wood trim, walnut and marble floors, and cypress ceilings. Modern whites and grays seamlessly blend throughout, imparting a sense of freshness while retaining the timeless craftsmanship often absent in new construction.

The main level features an exquisite owners' suite with breathtaking water views, offering a sanctuary of comfort and luxury. Upstairs, four generous guest suites and a guest lounge provide ample accommodations, each offering either Gulf views or vistas of the immaculate gardens.

Designed for both intimate gatherings and grand affairs, the spacious living areas flow seamlessly to the expansive outdoor living spaces, where guests can revel in picturesque sunsets on multiple patios, balconies, and the expansive pool deck. Whether it's a casual sundown soirée or an extravagant celebration, Chateau du Soleil provides the perfect backdrop for unforgettable moments.

Outside, a new sparkling pool and spa beckon for refreshing dips, while the meticulously manicured grounds invite leisurely strolls and moments of peaceful reflection. A chipping green adds to the splendor and fun. A footbridge leads to the private beach with the powdery white sand Siesta Key is world famous for.

For added convenience, separate guest/staff quarters with a kitchen and washer/dryer ensure that every visitor enjoys the utmost comfort and privacy.

Chateau du Soleil is more than just a home; it's a lifestyle—a rare opportunity for the discerning buyer who seeks the ultimate in privacy and luxury in a magical beachfront setting.
