Discover a rare opportunity to enjoy pristine Gulf views, aquamarine waters, and a deep-water dock on the very North end of Siesta Key, just minutes to downtown Sarasota. One of Siesta Key’s most stunning and secluded waterfront sites — a residence offering a rare combination of historic significance, panoramic views of Big Pass, and exceptional structural integrity. Located approximately 200 feet south of civic leader Henry Higel’s early 20th-century Higelhurst Hotel, the pioneering developer’s beloved coastal breezes still beckon family and friends to enjoy swimming, water sports, boating, fishing, shoreline picnics, and direct, no-bridge access to the sparkling Gulf. Multiple covered porches and expansive windows provide front-row views of vivid sunsets and frolicking dolphins.
