Nestled between the stately spectacular trees, lush tropical foliage and the azure waters of the Gulf of Mexico, lies the Sanderling Club. One of the most unique and exclusive island communities on the West Coast of Florida. As you pass through the 24-hour guarded gate, the tree canopy immediately engulfs you and quickly is accompanied by scenic views of the crystal sands of the beach. This is just the beginning of the appreciation and the feeling of the tranquility and natural beauty of this historical place, which residents have been coveting for nearly a century, with humble beginnings as a Bohemian enclave of cottages in a very special location. From the charming beachfront Cabana's on the aqua waters, to the Renowned Architect, Paul Rudolf designed Clubhouse you'll truly be inspired. Additional amenities such as Har-tru Tennis Courts, Pickleball, Playground, boat slips with access to the Gulf (if available) and you immediately recognize that The Sanderling Club is truly a special place. As you enter the elevated home's Foyer and Large Great Room, you will feel the outside brought inside. The feeling of comfort created by the serenity of the Heron Lagoon and the Live Oak Trees which twist naturally to wrap their limbs lovingly around both homes is unlike any normal house! The Lagoon is nearly 50 acres of kayaking adventure waiting for you. The Oversized Primary Bedroom Suite is on its own floor, 4 steps up from the main living floor, with a hot tub on the adjacent deck for relaxing views of paradise. The Kitchen in the main house is modern, includes all appliances and is flanked by a large Pantry/Laundry Room with built in desk and cabinetry. The ground level floor boasts a 2 BR "in-law"suite with a bath and kitchenette. The entire Main House was built in 1960, and completely remodeled in 2010. New in 2008, is a 2 bedroom, 1 bath, guest house with a kitchen. An Elevator makes both homes accessible. Deserving of a personal Visit!
