Property Description

Amid the untouched landscapes of Sanibel Island, where nature and architecture quietly coexist, lies a rare estate designed not just to respect its surroundings but to elevate them. Casa de Joewood is more than a home, it is a refined expression of place, purpose and preservation. Set nearly an acre deep along the edge of Sanibel’s protected Gulfside Park, this private retreat is veiled from the road, offering seclusion and soul-stirring proximity to nature. The home's orientation, expertly imagined by architect Joyce Owens and realized by architect Edgar Burton, follows the arc of the sun and the rhythm of the seasons. Crafted with hurricane-rated concrete construction in 2016, impact glass and a standing seam metal roof, it is at once resilient and resolute. Within, the architecture unfolds with deliberate grace. A reverse floor plan raises the kitchen, great room, dining room and lanai to the treetops, capturing sunlight and Gulf breezes. The treetop elevation of the main floor and an abundance of windows capture the spectacular Gulf views to the south and in the other directions, views of the tropical hammock preserve lands and the island beyond. English oak engineered floors add warmth, while an elevator connects every level with ease. Each element of the home invites the outdoors in, calm, sun-soaked and endlessly serene. Perhaps the most poetic feature of Casa de Joewood is what lives just outside its walls. Named for the endangered Joewood Trees that flourish here, Sanibel’s symbolic plant and a rarity throughout the state. The home’s grounds are a living gallery of native flora and fauna. A gopher tortoise burrow is among match weed, osprey return to the nesting pole each season and butterflies emerge quietly from their stone-hinged chrysalises in the sculptural gardens. This is more than landscaping, it is habitat, heritage and homage. Deeded beach access, a gas-heated pool with elevated equipment and artisanal furnishings curated for the space complete the offering. Offered mostly furnished, this is a rare opportunity to own a legacy estate that aligns environmental stewardship with architectural artistry.
