Nestled in the heart of Captiva, this premier 6-BRs, 5-BAs beachfront estate was the home of the late artist Robert Rauschenberg. Every detail of Eden exudes luxury and relaxation with its breathtaking panoramic ocean views, private beach access, heated pool/spa, this is the perfect retreat for families, friends, or special gatherings.

The Space:

Upon entering the home, you will feel immediately at ease as you are welcomed by the open-concept living area bathed in natural light, filtering through the floor-to-ceiling sliders that open up to an oversized patio overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. The fully equipped chef's kitchen boasts high-end appliances, a large island with seating for up to 10 guests and is conveniently located next to a large dining table with seating for an additional 12 guests, ideal for both intimate meals or large gatherings. Step outside to your own private paradise - a spacious oceanfront deck where guests can enjoy alfresco dining while watching the dolphins play along the shoreline. Enjoy mornings with coffee overlooking the waves, afternoons on the sand just steps away, and evenings with the world renowned Captiva sunsets. The sparkling pool invites you to unwind and soak in the Florida sun. The pool area features an expansive deck with beautiful tile and an integrated spa that boasts a relaxing waterfall feature.



In terms of the floor plan, each of the six beautifully designed bedrooms offers plush bedding, stylish furnishings, and plenty of space to unwind. On the third level, Eden features 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, all with breathtaking panoramic beachfront views. Drift off to sleep in the luxurious beds to the sound of the gentle surf and the breeze. The primary suite features a plush King bed and a large sofa for extra comfort as well as an en-suite bathroom with its own laundry room. The master suite also has private access to a beautiful sundeck as well as separate access to the lower level for extra privacy. Adjoining the master suite are 2 guest bedrooms, one featuring 2 King beds and the other one featuring 2 Queen beds. The second level features one guest bedroom, with a King bed and an en-suite bathroom.

This level also features a game room/arcade, ensuring endless entertainment for your stay.

This home is phenomenal. The location is amazing. We went to celebrate 3/60 birthdays. Sitting on the patio and watching the sunset every night was just magical. The chef’s kitchen was beyond our dreams. Would highly recommend this home to anyone who’s looking to go to Captiva. And, don’t get me started on the dolphins that we saw every day.
