About This Property

The Ness House | A Rare Architectural Offering in Sanderling An exceptional second chance to own this remarkable property! The previous transaction did not proceed to closing, and the home is once again available! Inspection reports are available for qualified buyers upon request. The Ness House, masterfully designed by renowned architect Tim Seibert, is a timeless expression of the Sarasota School of Architecture — where clean lines, natural light, and a seamless connection to the outdoors define every moment. Privately nestled within the gated enclave of Sanderling, this architecturally significant residence embodies understated luxury, privacy, and intentional design. Expansive walls of glass blur the boundary between indoors and out, inviting sunlight to pour through the interiors while framing tranquil natural surroundings. Thoughtfully designed to capture coastal breezes and effortless livability, the home offers a serene experience that feels both grounded and elevated. Just moments away, the powder-soft quartz sands and turquoise waters of Siesta Key create one of the most celebrated beach lifestyles in the world perfect for morning walks, sunset evenings, and the kind of everyday beauty most only dream of. Now thoughtfully repositioned, The Ness House presents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a home of architectural pedigree, location, and lasting design significance at exceptional value. As properties of this caliber become more difficult to find, this offering stands apart for buyers who appreciate authenticity, vision, and timeless architecture. For the buyer who understands design and recognizes true long-term value, this is a moment worth paying attention to. Private showings available by appointment.
