About this home
388 S SHORE DRIVE
2026 National Gold Nugget Award of Merit Winner. SRQ Magazine 2026 Home of the Year. World-renowned as Florida’s cultural coast, Sarasota’s heritage of culture and the arts provides a distinguished backdrop for its newest architectural tour de force – Lunara. Set in Sapphire Shores, one of Sarasota’s most historic and culturally rich neighborhoods, the location is quintessentially Sarasota. This prized location, originally chosen by one of the city's foremost visionaries for his own Ca' d'Zan mansion, commands what are widely regarded as the city's best views, with sweeping panoramas of Sarasota Bay, the downtown skyline, and the landmark Ringling Bridge. Lunara transforms state-of-the-art materials from around the world through the enduring craft of local artisans. Designed by Mark Sultana of DSDG Architects and built by Michael Voigt of Voigt Brothers Construction, the residence reveals itself with dramatic geometry and floating planes. Every angle captures the shimmer of water, every surface plays with light, and every room welcomes you into a life surrounded by beauty. The heart of the home opens with dramatic presence — the 11-foot pivot entry door leads to a soaring double-height living space, where an 11-foot automated glass wall extends to an equally lofty trellised sun deck. Despite its scale, the residence feels warm and personal, thanks to a no-hallway design directive that connects each area with purposeful flow. The impressive entertainment bar, which features floating liquor display shelves and a climate-controlled wine display, stands distinct yet linked to the ultra-high-end kitchen, which includes a retractable pass-through to a concealed prep kitchen. Outside, the al-fresco kitchen and pool deck share the same floor level as the interior, creating a connected indoor-outdoor living experience that amplifies the home’s spacious elegance. A two-level swimming pool cascades from infinity edge to lap lane. The glass elevator, tallest of its kind in a Sarasota residence, glides between levels with clarity and grace. The 10-car garage is designed to be more than just storage with bay-facing sliding glass. The rooftop deck, a stage for Sarasota’s sunsets, invites leisure and entertainment in equal measure, complete with a putting green, fire pit and a flex space adaptable to yoga at dawn or cocktails at dusk. Even the practical touches are elevated – a dedicated “Christmas tree closet”, concealed floor-to-ceiling doors, and a movable wall of privacy glass that transforms the primary bath into either open vista or private retreat. Beyond prestige, the best of Sarasota is always close at hand. Within one mile you’ll find SRQ International Airport and The Ringling Museum. Downtown Sarasota, The Bay park, and Marina Jack are just five miles away, with Sarasota Memorial Hospital, St. Armands Circle and Lido Beach within six miles. IMG Sports Academy and St. Stephens School are within eight miles from your door. In Lunara, architecture becomes lifestyle, and lifestyle becomes sanctuary. This is a home that does not merely impress, it endures.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
