Property Description
Tucked away on Big Torch Key, one of the Florida Keys' best-kept secrets, this rare 3 acre luxurious custom estate offers the ultimate in privacy, tranquility and breathtaking waterfront views. With 357 feet of pristine shoreline on the Niles Channel and 180° views, this west-facing retreat is perfectly positioned for year-round sunset vistas. The design seamlessly connects over 4000 ft.² of indoor and outdoor living, offering 2100 ft.² of air-conditioned, light-filled interior and 2000 ft.² of covered wrap-around screened-in porches. The elevated classically styled ''Key West Sea Captain'' architecture maximizes the view, allowing for ocean breezes and panoramas from nearly every room. The mid-century modern interior features an open concept design with floor-ceiling pocket slider doors to bring the outdoors in. The third floor master suite is a private sanctuary with a TV lounge, desk area, custom closets, and a spa-like ensuite bath with a soaking tub. Two additional bedrooms offer serene accommodations with custom built-in cabinetry while the home's three full bathrooms are elegantly appointed. The second floor opens to an additional 460-ft.² shady patio while the third floor sundeck provides a private perch to take in the vast unobstructed views. Outside, the estate is also equipped for the active fisherman and boater featuring a 300-foot Lifetime dock with fiber grate decking and a 5,000-pound boat lift, floating swim platform, fish cleaning station and full dock utilities. Beyond the T-dock with its 4-foot draft, there is a 4-post boat slip allowing installation of a larger lift for bigger vessels. The Niles Channel affords quick access to both Gulf and Atlantic waters with 40-foot clearance at the Niles Channel bridge, while back country flats fishing is minutes away. A tiki bar, small beach and lush, tropical landscaping including many specimen trees (mahogany, gumbo limbo, blolly) and many species of palm ...(see documents for full description)
