Far-A Way. Long admired as an iconic Captiva residence, this exceptional waterfront estate occupies a coveted position along the Platinum Coast, where timeless island architecture meets refined coastal living. Stretching from the Gulf to the Bay you can have it all! Resting on a high beach ridge with 10 ft of elevation and expertly landscaped by R.S. Walsh, the grounds feature vivid plantings and exceptional specimen trees sourced from around the globe, along with meandering paths beautifully framing the home. Inside, an expansive great room is framed by a dramatic wall of French doors that capture serene water views and flood the space with natural light. The ceilings are highlighted by exposed white beams and shiplap detailing create an atmosphere of refined coastal elegance, complemented by solid hardwood oak floors that ground the airy scale of the room. Designed for effortless entertaining, the open layout flows seamlessly to the pool and terrace beyond, blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living. Sculptural wood-blade ceiling fans and crisp architectural millwork complete this exceptional island retreat-where craftsmanship, light, and lifestyle converge in perfect harmony. Chefs will admire the open and large finely appointed kitchen. The guest rooms are located on the main level along with the library, office and utility room. A striking lap pool runs elegantly alongside a covered patio, creating a resort-caliber outdoor experience designed for both relaxation and entertaining. At sunrise and sunset, the setting becomes truly breathtaking. Golden light washes across the residence as sweeping views extend over calm bay waters to the shimmering Gulf beyond. A private pier stretches gracefully into the water, inviting boating and sunset cruises, while layered tropical foliage frames the scene with natural elegance. As the sun slips below the horizon, the sky is painted in soft shades of amber, coral, and lavender-gentle coastal breezes stirring the palms and reinforcing the timeless romance of bayfront living paired with spectacular Gulf sunsets.
