Fall under the spell of Ventana, named after the owner’s idyllic visit to the Ventana Inn on Big Sur, in California. Located in the oldest settlement in Sarasota, on 210 feet of Indian Beach. This is your private window to peace and tranquility. This majestic estate is situated on just under 2 acres of meticulously manicured tropical gardens and landscape. Improvements feature a 2/3 main house, a 2/1½ cottage house and an incredibly charming 1/1 carriage house located above one of the 2 car garages, complete with Tesla charger, a natural gas-powered generator, and a studio office. In the main house, wide planked heart pine floors and soaring cedar paneled wood ceilings highlight the endless views of Sarasota Bay. The open floor plan is filled with natural light. The screened porch offers views of the lawn and bay and is the perfect place to read, write, enjoy wildlife, and the always spectacular sunsets across the bay.
