A waterfront estate in Sarasota’s Oyster Bay Estates is on the market for $26.4 million, placing it at the top end of the region’s residential listings. Comparable properties in Sarasota are currently listed from the high teens to nearly $30 million, a range with limited inventory.
The home at 1310 S. Lake Shore Drive sits on 1.22 acres with 146 feet of frontage along Little Sarasota Bay and spans 10,697 square feet. Built in 1992 and later expanded, the three-story residence includes four en-suite bedrooms, dual kitchens, a resort-style pool, terraces and a private dock with lifts.
The estate follows a traditional design approach that contrasts with newer construction in Florida’s luxury market. Its Italian Renaissance style includes marble floors, carved woodwork and detailed finishes, creating a more formal interior than the contemporary waterfront homes that have defined recent building trends.
The home was first listed at more than $28 million before price reductions brought it to its current level.
Buyers at this level prioritize waterfront access, lot size and proximity to cultural and coastal amenities, with purchases often driven by a specific property type rather than broad demand.
The listing agent is Dianne Anderson of Compass Florida LLC. Click here to learn more.
