Home Sale on Florida's Siesta Key Establishes a 2011 Benchmark

A Siesta Key waterfront home listed by Kim and Michael Ogilvie and co-listed with Michael Hays, all of exclusive Affiliate Michael Saunders & Company, has become the benchmark sale of the year for the Southwest Florida market area. The Ogilvies, who are the firm’s top-producing team of agents, also represented the buyer of the property.

The West Indies inspired home—located on Norsota Way—sold last Friday (January 14, 2011) for $5.9 million; making it the highest sale of the year thus far in Sarasota, Manatee and Charlotte Counties. 

Built in 2009 and recently featured in Sarasota Magazine’s Home & Garden Issue, the property includes 7,931 square feet under air.  In addition to its sophisticated design, superb construction and brilliantly executed interiors the property includes deep water harborage, a separate guest house and a dramatic skyline view of downtown Sarasota and the Ringling Bridge across a wide expanse of open water.           

The Ogilvies are the team behind a number of benchmark luxury sales in recent years.  Their $6.4 million sale in the Sanderling Club was the largest sale of 2010 on Siesta Key; and their sale of another Siesta Key property for $8 million was the top sale of 2008 in Sarasota, Manatee and Charlotte Counties. 

Since 2003, Kim and Michael Ogilvie have sold 292,480,000, an average of more than $36.5 million in annual sales.
