A rare custom estate acquisition offering an expansive, single-story Spanish perimeter hacienda footprint in Sarasota's historic acreage enclave. Encompassing Sarasota County Lots 4 & 13, this signature architecture features 15,296 total sq. ft. under roof (5,920 sq. ft. living area), an off-grade solid wood joist floor system on concrete pier footings, an authentic 5V crimp metal roof system, a central 64'x82' open-air Mediterranean courtyard with an in-ground pool, and symmetrical 50'x24' workshop and garage wings. The estate is in an unfinished, raw construction condition ready for custom reimagining. Buyer and design-build team to independently verify all existing structural framing, blueprints, zoning entitlements, code compliance, permitting status, and site clearing.

Connected to Sarasota County public water. Central Gulf Coast access by transportation: 5 minutes to SRQ International Airport private hangars, 8 minutes to UTC shopping and dining, 15 minutes to Downtown Sarasota, and under 25 minutes to world-renowned powder sands of Gulf beaches (Lido Beach, Siesta Key Beach).
