About 6161 Gulf of Mexico Dr Longboat Key, FL 34228

MLS# A4665992

Gulf front Masterpiece with Bayside Boathouse and 12klb lift

Experience the pinnacle of coastal living at this unparalleled Gulf-to-Bay estate on Longboat Key, where 100 feet of private, sugar-white beachfront meets the rare luxury of a deeded bayside boathouse—a coveted feature seldom available on the island. For the discerning boater, this exceptional amenity includes a 12,000-lb lift and upgraded dockage on tranquil Sarasota Bay, allowing seamless access to open water adventures while preserving the serenity of Gulf-front living.

Architecturally envisioned by Clifford M. Scholz and brought to life by Perrone Construction, the residence is a timeless fusion of coastal elegance and enduring craftsmanship. Elevated concrete block construction, a newly installed metal roof, and impact-rated windows ensure peace of mind, while expansive verandas and elevated terraces provide panoramic views of the Gulf, Bay, and captivating sunsets.

Spanning three levels, the home’s interior is equally refined 4BR/4,224sf (7,758sf total) – anchored by a gourmet kitchen with Sub-Zero, Viking, and Neff appointments, and graced with fluid indoor-outdoor spaces designed for both grand-scale entertaining and quiet personal retreats. The primary suite is a sanctuary unto itself, featuring dual walk-in closets, spa-inspired bath, and breathtaking views of the Gulf from its private balcony.
The ground level offers over 2,600 sq ft of flex space, ideal for a collector’s garage, home gym, or additional guest accommodations. Outdoors, the Gulf-front pool deck with summer kitchen invites year-round al fresco living, while a private path leads directly to one of Florida’s most pristine beaches.

Perfectly positioned on North Longboat Key – near Anna Maria Island, St. Armands Circle, and downtown Sarasota, this rare estate offers absolute privacy without sacrificing access to the region’s finest dining, shopping, and cultural experiences.
This is not simply a beachfront home—it is an irreplaceable legacy property offering the best of both Gulf-front tranquility and Bayfront boating. Private showings by appointment only for qualified buyers.
