The Castillian was built at the height of the initial boom of high-end condominium development in Longboat Key. The property is located on of the narrowest residential areas of the island, meaning that you can dip your toes in the balmy waters of the Gulf of Mexico and then turn around and walk a few minutes to glance at the Sarasota Bay and the city skyline. The Castillian is part of a group of condominiums that were developed with the idea of standing out from the rest of the real estate in Longboat Key.

There are 60 residential units at the Castillian. Home shoppers familiar with Florida architecture will recognize certain distinctive touches such as the wide terraces with sundecks and the tropical landscaping surrounding the building. Getting to the beach is just a matter of following a landscaped path that leads directly to the world-famous white sands of the Gulf of Mexico. The gorgeous beaches of Longboat Key are the island’s main attraction, but residents of the Castillian also have their own swimming pool, clubhouse, tennis court, and barbecue area to enjoy.

Floor plans at the Castillian start with cozy and affordable units priced at $429K for two bedrooms and 1,340 square feet of living space. Larger, three-bedroom and three-bathroom units start at $750K. Other classic Florida touches are found on the interior of the units: pastel colors, open kitchens with breakfast bars and nooks that look out into the ocean, combination marble and carpeted flooring, and more.

Life in Longboat Key is always charming and convenient for those seeking solitude and relaxation in community with nature, but residents who live active lifestyles can also enjoy golf, tennis, boating, and fishing right on the island. For upscale shopping, entertainment and cultural activities, Sarasota and Bradenton are just minutes away by car.
