In Siesta Key’s architecturally rich Sandy Hook neighborhood, a newly listed estate is drawing attention with its $15.5 million price tag — and the resort-like lifestyle it promises.
With over 5,000 square feet of fully reimagined living space, a tropical resort-style backyard, and front-row seats to Siesta Key’s legendary sunsets, the property is the kind of coastal sanctuary that rarely comes along.
The $15,500,000 listing, held by Inbal August and Jordan Shea of Douglas Elliman, follows a record-breaking $16.5 million sale in the same neighborhood in 2022 that solidified Sandy Hook’s reputation as one of the Gulf Coast’s most coveted addresses.

Newly listed in a standout community in Sarasota, Florida
Tucked away in one of Siesta Key’s most exclusive and architecturally significant neighborhoods, the property at 26 Sandy Hook Road South delivers serious privacy and sophistication wrapped in lush, high-end landscaping and just steps from a private beach.
Behind the gates of this low-density enclave, homeowners enjoy the rare combo of peace, design pedigree, and close proximity to Siesta Key Village.
The house has 5 bedrooms, renovated interiors
Built for laid-back luxury, the Siesta Key house sits on a full acre of Gulf-front land and was completely renovated in 2019 to add modern tech and high-end design to its offering.
The home features 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and 2 half-baths, along with a three-car garage, a dedicated office, and a private elevator from the garage to the main level.
A private home with modern edge
Inside, thoughtful upgrades include a full smart-home automation system, a whole-house water filtration setup, and Andersen impact windows that bring in the sunlight while keeping out the storms.
A whole-house generator ensures peace of mind, while a Pecky Cypress entertainment system adds a splash of warmth and local character to the interiors.
The kitchen was designed to dazzle
The kitchen might be the crown jewel here, anchored by a Labradorite Lemurian Blue granite island imported from Brazil that’s more sculpture than countertop.
High-end appliances include a Wolf range, Miele warming drawers, a convection oven, steamer, and microwave drawer, plus Sub-Zero commercial-grade fridge and wine storage.
The oversized primary bedroom has a Gulf-facing balcony
The primary suite brings spa-day energy, with a dual curbless shower, waterfall-inspired backdrop, and an oversized balcony overlooking the water.
Each of the additional bedrooms includes its own balcony with a Gulf view, offering every guest or family member a slice of paradise.
A backyard with a resort-style setup
Step outside, and the home transforms into a personal resort.
The outdoor spaces are dialed in with a full kitchen, Lynx grill, Perlick fridge drawers, ice maker, and an outdoor living room with fireplace and built-in TV.
That has a poolside theater and sound system
The poolside theater — complete with dual fireplaces and two TVs — ups the ante for movie nights or game-day parties.
The Jacuzzi spa, sunset-facing gas fire pit, and multi-zone surround sound system make it clear: this place was made for entertaining.
Million-dollar landscaping — literally
Surrounding it all is a tropical wonderland that took over $1 million to create.
Think manicured Bermuda grass, towering palms, lush bamboo, and a custom irrigation and mosquito misting system to keep things easy and breezy all year long.

In an architecturally rich neighborhood
What makes Sandy Hook such a standout community? For starters, it has a fascinating origin story.
The enclave was dreamed up in the 1930s by Mary Rockwell Hook, a pioneering female architect who envisioned a creative haven for artists and designers. Homes in the neighborhood are known for their mid-century modern roots, dramatic rooflines, and seamless indoor-outdoor living.
Right on the beach
Today, the neighborhood retains that architectural pedigree with a mix of original structures and newly built stunners that celebrate modern craftsmanship while staying rooted in the area’s architectural past.
Residents here enjoy private beach access, low-density streets, and a short hop to Siesta Key Village, all just a quick drive from downtown Sarasota’s cultural offerings.
