This extraordinary South Tampa estate is the latter: a private, 340-foot bayfront sanctuary set on nearly an acre of pristine land, bordered by a protected Florida preserve and lovingly transformed into a thriving bird sanctuary and natural refuge. A place where endangered native species flourish, bay breezes carry songbird calls, and the land itself rises in quiet protection. Here, nature isn’t a backdrop, it’s your guardian. Towering oaks, deep rooted native trees, and flourishing mangroves form a living ecosystem that filters and purifies the water it touches. These natural defenses paired with expert engineering have kept this estate remarkably dry. This home has never flooded. The grounds unfold into a private beach like shoreline lined with native mangroves, offering a peaceful, protected connection to the bay. A newly installed custom fence adds discreet security and opens to a separate access point on the far side of the home, perfect for service, events, or private guest entry. Elegance and soul live side by side in this Plantation style masterpiece. Inside, five fireplaces flicker across spaces designed for grand entertaining and intimate moments alike including in the master suite and even within a hidden dressing room. The chef’s kitchen is both indulgent and functional, featuring Carrera marble, a gas range, and panoramic bay views. Walls of windows open to a radiant sunroom, framing sweeping views of the saltwater heated pool, private beach, and endless open water. French doors lead to deep wraparound porches on both levels, where the sky paints a new masterpiece each sunrise and sunset. Every bedroom offers a private en-suite bath, and a full additional bath on the main floor provides seamless access from outdoors. Ascend to the third floor and discover a full private suite complete with its own kitchen, bath, and generous living space, ideal for extended guests, multigenerational living, or inspired creative retreat. This is not just a luxury home. It is a rare, living ecosystem, crafted by hand and heart where nature protects, elegance prevails, and every sunrise feels like a personal gift from the bay. This home has a beautiful story and elegant nature protected presence like no others.
