Some properties impress you. Others stay with you. On Captiva's Gold Coast, this one-of-a-kind beachfront estate has an identity all its own. A treasured 1912 beach cottage and a striking contemporary guest residence share 131 feet of Gulf frontage, creating a deeply personal retreat with remarkable architectural character. Originally built on Useppa Island and brought to Captiva in 1948, the cottage has been reimagined by architect Joyce Owens, with eclectic details, subtle industrial touches and the warmth of vintage Captiva. Two bedrooms plus a den, a fireplace, Gulf-facing kitchen and shaded terrace make it easy to feel at home. Designed by Owens and built by Benchmark Construction, the newer guest residence expands the owners' living and entertaining experience. Shared materials and custom details connect the homes, while soaring ceilings, exposed trusses and ductwork, distinctive lighting and expansive glass give the newer residence a dramatic presence. Two pavilions joined by a covered breezeway offer generous living areas, kitchens and space for family and friends. A pool and spa and covered dining terrace with an outdoor kitchen overlooking the cottage and Gulf bring island living into every gathering. Intimate in feeling and expansive in the way it lives, the estate brings history, design and beachfront living together in a way that feels entirely its own. An exceptional Captiva offering for someone seeking a home as individual as they are.
