Inside a Stunning Custom Modern John Cannon Home in Waterside at Lakewood Ranch

Welcome to a breathtaking custom modern home by John Cannon Homes, located in Lakewood Ranch’s greater Waterside community—one of the most exciting luxury neighborhoods in the Sarasota–Manatee area. TAKE THE VIDEO TOUR: click here!

In this feature, I sit down with Jack Cannon, Vice President of John Cannon Homes, to discuss what truly sets a custom builder apart from mass-production construction. Founded in 1990 and still thriving today, John Cannon Homes has built more than 400 waterfront residences throughout Sarasota and Manatee Counties—each one tailored to its owner’s vision.

One common misconception is that John Cannon Homes only builds within large master-planned communities. In reality, the company also specializes in highly customized, one-of-a-kind projects. These “one-off” homes allow the team to work closely with homeowners to thoughtfully curate every detail—from layout to finishes—based entirely on individual lifestyle and preferences.

With in-house architects and a 4,000+ square-foot design center, John Cannon Homes offers an exceptional level of customization. From architectural elements to interior selections, clients can truly personalize their new residence from start to finish.

Joining the conversation as well is Marc Rasmussen, Broker at Corcoran Dwellings, as we walk through the building process—from selecting an existing floor plan to tearing down an older home on one of our barrier islands, such as Siesta Key or Longboat Key, to make way for a brand-new custom build. Understanding cost differences, timelines, and working with an experienced team that knows luxury clientele is essential to creating a smooth and enjoyable building experience.

The home we tour is especially unique—it is the only flat-roof home in Lakewood Ranch. Could this be a new architectural trend for the Ranch? You’ll have to watch the full video to decide. This extraordinary $6,000,000 waterfront residence offers more than 4,700 square feet under air, complete with a striking infinity pool, spa, sun shelf, and every luxury feature imaginable.

So, what is the biggest difference between custom and production homes?
Simply put: custom means whatever the client wants—and having the right team to execute it flawlessly.

====================================

Q: How does a custom home differ from a production-built home?
A: A custom home is designed and built specifically for the homeowner, allowing complete control over layout, architectural style, and finishes. Production homes follow standardized plans with limited flexibility.

Q: Are custom homes only built within large communities?
A: Not at all. Many custom builders specialize in unique, standalone projects on private or waterfront lots, including barrier islands such as Siesta Key and Longboat Key.

Q: Why is experience so important when building a luxury home?
A: Luxury construction requires a seasoned team that understands design complexity, budget considerations, timelines, and the elevated expectations of high-end buyers—making the process far more seamless and enjoyable.
