With all the grandeur and sophistication of a classic estate, you’d think this Sarasota mansion has been passed along for a few generations of wealthy Floridians.
But the custom-built home is brand new, and has been freshly completed in 2024.
Now, it’s being brought to market by Roger Pettingell of Pettingell Professionals, an affiliated agent with the Longboat Key office of Coldwell Banker Realty.
The price tag is $31,500,000, and it includes 2.7 acres of direct bayfront property on Siesta Key (with 217 feet of water frontage), an impressive 10,000-square-foot mansion, a sizable guest house, and a whole suite of high-end amenities.

A 2.7-acre waterfront property in Sarasota
Spanning nearly three acres of pristine Siesta Key bayfront, the property at 8501 Midnight Pass Road in Sarasota, Florida, has been dubbed ‘Crystal Waters’ (after the owner’s first name) and consists of a 10,001-square-foot main house and a 1,605-square-foot guest house.
“The name ‘Crystal Waters’ is not only an ode to the seller, but to the tranquil and restorative nature of the property,” listing agent Roger Pettingell tells us. “It provides the ultimate escape with water views from every angle, peaceful living and an unparalleled sense of serenity.”
Anchored by a stately, newly built mansion
With a West Indies-style architecture, the main house on the property was designed by Stofft Cooney Architects and brought to life by Florida West Builders.
A stately exterior sets it apart from your run-of-the-mill glass-clad mansions that developers envision nowadays for most waterfront lots.
With 10,000 square feet of living space
Inside, the 10,001-square-foot mansion packs a series of elegantly appointed spaces, including 5 bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms, a chef’s kitchen, a trellis dining room with a butler’s pantry, an office with hideaway jamb doors, and a stylish club room, among others.
Interiors with coastal retreat vibes
With a light, coastal-inspired color palette, and natural light flooding the interiors, the home has a high-end, coastal retreat design.
“Every detail has been meticulously crafted to offer a luxurious lifestyle, making Crystal Waters not just a home, but a sanctuary where you can truly unwind and rejuvenate,” Pettingell points out.
Without sacrificing on luxury
Don’t let the pastel colors or light, coastal touch fool you into thinking the spaces lack glam and sophistication.
With walls of floor-to-ceiling windows that highlight water views, glass French doors, and European oak hardwood flooring throughout, the interiors are just as stately as the exterior architecture.
The chef’s kitchen has two islands, a La Cornue Range
Perhaps one of the best-appointed spaces of the house, the elegant kitchen has two islands, custom cabinetry, and top-of-the-line appliances — including a La Cornue Range, a Francois hood, and double Wolf ovens. There’s also a butler’s pantry and an additional walk-in pantry.
The trellis dining room comes with an additional pantry
One of the most formal spaces in the house, the classy dining room features an intricate trellis-like design on the walls, an intricate chandelier, and floor-to-ceiling windows that flood it with natural light.
The primary bedroom has separate bathrooms and closets for the Mr. and Mrs.
The primary bedroom suite has oversized his-and-hers walk-in closets with a washer/dryer, island, and custom cabinetry, as well as spa-inspired his-and-hers bathrooms with jacuzzi tub, private water closets and adjoining showers.
His-and-hers offices with secret doors
The office has also been imagined in a way that serves both the lady and the gentleman of the house, featuring his-and-hers combined workspaces with custom built-ins. It also has custom, hideaway jamb doors.
The clubroom is the coolest space in the house
Undoubtedly the most fun interior space, the clubroom takes the coastal vibes a step further, offering a welcoming space for family and friends to gather, with the water as the backdrop.
Featuring a wet bar and lounge
The clubroom features a sizable wet bar, walls of glass showcasing views of the grounds and waterfront, and a separate lounge with a wet bar.
There’s also a guest house on the property
Offering additional accommodation options, there’s also a 1,605-square-foot guest house on the property, with one bedroom, one full bath, and one half-bath.
With space for both entertaining and hosting guests for longer stretches of time
The sizable guest house also comes with a kitchen (with a pantry, washer/dryer, and covered balcony) and a living room with walls of unique pecky cypress and vaulted ceilings. The bedroom suite has two built-in closets and an en-suite bath with a glass/stone shower and private water closet.
Outdoor areas include an outdoor pavilion, tennis court
Outside, a tennis court is accompanied by a stylish pavilion — equipped with rolldown hurricane shutters, a fireplace and plenty of room to lounge — for extended breaks during matches.
With an outdoor kitchen right next to the pool
Other outdoor amenities include an outdoor kitchen with an island, wraparound bar seating, and a sitting area arranged around an outside fireplace. The space is enclosed by roll-down screens and motorized Jansen storm shutters.
And a resort-like pool area
An infinity-edge heated swimming pool spans 56’x20’, featuring steppingstones and a separate heated spa. There’s also outside access to a full pool bathroom with shower.
A private dock with a 20,000-pound boat lift
Given its waterfront location, it only makes sense for the Sarasota mansion to feature a private dock with a boat lift. The extended 90’x19’ dock features a floating dock/kayak launch that measures 5’x14’, while the 20,000-pound lift allows for a 34’ vessel.
Now on the market for $31.5 million
The newly built Sarasota mansion is now on the market for $31,500,000, with Roger Pettingell of Pettingell Professionals (a Coldwell Banker Realty affiliate) in charge of finding a buyer.
A seasoned pro with a four-decade career, Pettingell has amassed nearly $3 billion in sales, with his team at Pettingell Professionals being named the No. 1 in Sarasota County for 15 years (per the REALTOR® Association of Sarasota & Manatee MLS).
