Description

Welcome to The Sandhaus — a one-of-a-kind architectural hideaway nestled in the lush subtropics of Gainesville, Florida. This mid-century modern-inspired retreat is where brutalist lines meet barefoot luxury. Surrounded by towering trees, this glass-walled sanctuary floats like a minimalist treehouse in the jungle, designed for design lovers, slow-living seekers, and aesthetes craving nature without compromise.

At the heart of the property lies its most distinctive feature: an open-air, circular concrete tub tucked into a private courtyard of sand and stone. Morning soaks surrounded by birdsong or candlelit baths under the stars—this outdoor spa ritual sets the tone for a stay that’s elemental, sensual, and deeply restorative.

The home’s design plays with contrast: raw concrete surfaces soften with warm light and natural textures. Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows bring the outside in, blurring boundaries between architecture and environment. A glass coffee table balanced on concrete blocks becomes a sculptural centerpiece, while low-slung cushions invite you to lounge, read, or daydream as light dances across the floor.

Each room opens to its own slice of nature—whether it’s the forest canopy swaying outside the bedroom or the reflecting pool just steps away from the minimalist living room. The interiors embrace restraint, allowing texture and tone to speak louder than clutter. You’ll find everything you need, and nothing you don’t.

Outside, white sand surrounds the pool, giving a sense of being seaside while cocooned in forest. Dip into the cool green water, nap beneath palms, or stretch out on the deck with a book and a breeze. At night, the jungle comes alive, and with no city light in sight, the stars take over the sky.

The Sandhaus offers a setting that’s as inspiring as it is grounding. Ideal for lifestyle and beauty campaigns—it’s an experience designed to slow your pulse and stir your senses.
