Remarks: An exceptional opportunity to own a true piece of architectural history in the heart of Sarasota’s Sapphire Shores community.

The Florida Room opens to a beautifully landscaped and spacious backyard with a shaded gazebo perfect for al-fresco dining or simply enjoying time in the garden. You’ll find plenty of room for a pool if you choose to add.

Remarks: World-renowned as Florida’s cultural coast, Sarasota’s heritage of culture and the arts provides a distinguished backdrop for its newest architectural tour de force – Lunara. Set in Sapphire Shores, one of Sarasota’s most historic and culturally rich neighborhoods, the location is quintessentially Sarasota. This prized location, originally chosen by one of the city's foremost visionaries for his own Ca' d'Zan mansion, commands what are widely regarded as the city's best views, with sweeping panoramas of Sarasota Bay, the downtown skyline, and the landmark Ringling Bridge. Steeped in a tradition of the future, Lunara transforms state-of-the-art materials from around the world through the enduring craft of local artisans. Designed by Mark Sultana of DSDG Architects and built by Michael Voigt of Voigt Brothers Construction, the residence reveals itself with dramatic geometry and floating planes. Every angle captures the shimmer of water, every surface plays with light, and every room welcomes you into a life surrounded by beauty. The heart of the home opens with dramatic presence — the 11-foot pivot entry door leads to a soaring double-height living space, where an 11-foot automated glass wall extends to an equally lofty trellised sun deck. Despite its scale, the residence feels warm and personal, thanks to a no-hallway design directive that connects each area with purposeful flow. The impressive entertainment bar, which features floating liquor display shelves and a climate-controlled wine display, stands distinct yet linked to the ultra-high-end kitchen, which includes a retractable pass-through to a concealed prep kitchen. Outside, the al-fresco kitchen and pool deck share the same floor level as the interior, creating a connected indoor-outdoor living experience that amplifies the home’s spacious elegance. Lunara’s pleasures are abundant, anchored by amenities that blend function with imagination. A two-level swimming pool cascades from infinity edge to lap lane, offering a visual spectacle as much as a place for play or exercise. The glass elevator, tallest of its kind in a Sarasota residence, glides between levels with clarity and grace. The 10-car garage is designed to be more than just storage with bay-facing sliding glass doors that invite fresh breezes, natural light and a perfect view to enjoy while caring for your prized collection. The rooftop deck, a stage for Sarasota’s sunsets, invites leisure and entertainment in equal measure, complete with a putting green, fire pit and a flex space adaptable to yoga at dawn or cocktails at dusk. Even the practical touches are elevated – a dedicated “Christmas tree closet”, concealed floor-to-ceiling doors, and a movable wall of privacy glass that transforms the primary bath into either open vista or private retreat. Beyond prestige, the best of Sarasota is always close at hand. Within one mile you’ll find SRQ International Airport and The Ringling Museum. Downtown Sarasota, The Bay park, and Marina Jack are just five miles away, with Sarasota Memorial Hospital, St. Armands Circle and Lido Beach within six miles. IMG Sports Academy and St. Stephens School are within eight miles from your door. It is rare to find a residence that is at once a work of art and a place of retreat, where scale feels human and luxury feels livable. In Lunara, architecture becomes lifestyle, and lifestyle becomes sanctuary. This is a home that does not merely impress, it endures.
