Casa Salamanca expresses the essence of Old World craftsmanship & is perhaps the most unique property on Casey Key. With almost 290 ft of waterfront, the privacy of this walled estate is simply unsurpassed. Architecturally designed by Wm. Thorning Little and rebuilt in 2005, you quickly feel the spirit of the Italian countryside with the colors & visual delight of mature landscaping as you drive through the Chicago brick motorcourt. Once you enter through the boldly crafted front doors, your eyes are drawn upward to the staircase leading to the master suite, providing a haven of tranquil comfort with a fireplace, stunning views of the garden & bay, a meditation area and exquisite fixtures. The richly appointed double living areas are so inviting with the warmth of the stone flooring, fireplace, & the views of the garden and terrace through French doors draw you outside.The pool has dramatic waterfalls and wraps around the grounds giving a resort-style feeling to the outdoor space. There's even a "beach" area. The kitchen is designed for gracious entertaining with a 15 ft granite island dividing the cooking and eating alcoves. Two children's "themed" ensuites & a home theater complete the main residence.A guest house, boat dock and 4 car garage complete the estate. Casey Key is an 8 mile island, where those who experience its unique ambience appreciate the absence of traffic lights, no high rises & the convenience to the historic town of Venice & cultural mecca of Sarasota.
