Timeless Tropical Estate

Designed in 1999, this timeless masterpiece by Stofft Cooney Architects set the standard for future beachfront home designs, serving as a defining inspiration for luxury coastal architecture. Nestled on Captiva Island, this tropical plantation-style estate embodies Old Florida architecture, seamlessly blending elegance with coastal charm. The striking compound pitch metal roof, accented by wood brackets, enhances the estate’s distinguished profile, while an arched focal point front entry welcomes guests with grandeur. A long garden driveway with fountains leads to the residence, complementing the tranquil ambiance of the koi pond pavilion.

Adding to its commanding presence, a magnitude of pavilions and balconies elegantly frame the architecture, seamlessly extending the living spaces to embrace the lush surroundings. These open-air retreats provide breathtaking panoramic views and enhance the estate’s connection to nature. With Tischler windows and doors framing every vista, this extraordinary residence has earned widespread recognition, gracing the cover of Florida Design twice, including the prestigious 50th anniversary edition. More than 25 years later, it continues to achieve record-breaking sales, further cementing its legacy as one of the most iconic waterfront estates in Florida.
