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.

Quick Q&A: Custom Homes vs. Production Builds
Q: What’s the biggest difference between a custom home and a production home?
A: Custom homes are designed entirely around the homeowner’s vision—floor plan, materials, layout, and finishes—while production homes follow pre-set designs with limited customization.
Q: Can a custom home be built outside of a master-planned community?
A: Yes. Custom builders like John Cannon Homes regularly build one-of-a-kind residences on private lots, including waterfront and island properties such as Siesta Key and Longboat Key.
Q: Why does working with an experienced luxury team matter during the build process?
A: Luxury builds involve higher-level design, construction, and coordination. An experienced team understands the expectations, costs, timelines, and details required to deliver a smooth, enjoyable building experience.
