501 BARCELONA DRIVE , Tierra Verde, FL 33715(Pinellas County)

This nearly new custom build, completed in 2024 by its current owners, was designed with a visionary use of form and texture by Mandy Vallowe; simply to be in it evokes a rare fusion of sophistication and serenity. Indoor spaces flow into luxurious outdoor living, complete with a deluxe outdoor kitchen and a disappearing-edge waterfall framed by a true boater’s paradise.

The kitchen is a showcase of refined performance and elegance, centered around a dramatic island wrapped in honed Calacatta Borghini marble. It features a gas cooktop, convection oven, and microwave—all by Gaggenau—alongside a built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator and dual sets of Fisher & Paykel dish drawers. Finished with exceptional craftsmanship, the space is equally suited to daily living and luxury entertaining. Behind the kitchen, a spacious butler’s pantry offers added counter space, generous storage, and a secondary refrigerator/freezer.

The construction is nothing short of extraordinary. Built by Crescent Homes—an award-winning firm with over 5,000 residences completed—the home was engineered with a commercial mindset rarely applied to residential builds. All-block construction, cast-in-place concrete beams (many with #8 rebar), commercial ES-rated windows, and 159 deep pilings beneath the home and 30 more beneath the pool deck form a structural core more akin to a boutique hotel than a residence. Level 5 smooth-finished walls offer gallery-quality surfaces ideal for art.

The home, patio, and elevated infinity-edge pool all reside on the same plane—enhancing resilience, ensuring privacy from passing boats, and allowing interior and exterior spaces to function as one. Over half a million dollars was invested in structural elements that remain unseen yet deeply felt, contributing to the home’s exceptional quiet, strength, and peace of mind. A built-in bar anchors the living space, offering a sophisticated setting for entertaining with ease.

A fully automated Control4 system manages lighting, shades, audio, climate, security, and accent lighting—easily operated via custom remote or app.

A 36kW solar energy system offsets nearly all power bills and feeds power back to the grid.

Located on Tierra Verde’s Grand Canal—some of the most coveted boating water on the Gulf Coast—the property’s dockage, with slip and lift, offers near-instant access to the open Gulf and Intracoastal at one end and Port32 marina at the other.

Tierra Verde is a private island community perfectly positioned between the Gulf’s award-winning beaches and the vibrancy of downtown St. Petersburg—with fine dining, acclaimed museums, waterfront parks, and international airports all nearby.
