In the market for a 10,000-square-foot oceanfront abode? 6111 Sanibel Captiva Road may just be your dream home. This five-bedroom oasis sits on 2.1 acres of pristine real estate on the Gulf of Mexico on Sanibel Island. Listed by Jeff Burns of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty’s Sanibel office, there's a pool, several balconies, and ocean views in practically every room (maybe not the wine cellar). “This residence is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a significant piece of beachfront property on sought-after Sanibel Island. The jaw-dropping estate is the perfect fusion of exquisite design, stalwart construction and attention to the details that define luxury," Burns says of the property in a company press release. We couldn't agree more — except that "luxury" may be an understatement.
