About this home
Discover the timeless allure of Indian Beach Sapphire Shores, one of Sarasota’s most captivating neighborhoods where history and modern living intertwine seamlessly. Established in the 1920s, this enchanting enclave exudes old-world charm while offering the vibrant lifestyle of a contemporary coastal community. Positioned perfectly between the glistening waters of Sarasota Bay and the bustling energy of downtown Sarasota, this neighborhood is where tranquility meets cultural sophistication. It's no wonder that John and Mable Ringling chose to make this neighborhood their home.
Here in Sapphire Shores, life effortlessly blends outdoor beauty with unmatched convenience. Just beyond your doorstep, the iconic John and Mable Ringling Museum invites you to explore world-class art, history, and the grandeur of John and Mable's iconic home, the Ca’ d’Zan mansion—a Mediterranean Revival masterpiece that embodies the area’s rich heritage. This property gives you the rare opportunity to bring the home back to its mid-century grandeur, or build anew, the home of your dreams, in the most iconic neighborhood in Sarasota. This property has been previewed by home builders and contractors, if you would like to speak with them regarding the home's possible potential. Imagine starting your day with a serene walk along the bayfront at Sapphire Shores Park or Indian Beach Bayfront Park, where panoramic water views and golden sunsets create a picture-perfect backdrop or grab a cup of coffee and take a stroll up to the Ringling Museum and gaze at their famed banyan trees.
This home is a major rehab with great character and good bones set on a lush .39 acre lot, with plenty of room for a pool. Stroll along the picturesque, tree-canopied Bay Shore Road, where majestic live oaks, sprawling banyans, and stately royal palms provide dappled shade. Despite its proximity to bustling U.S. 41, the area feels like an oasis, inviting you to explore its eminently walkable streets.
Indian Beach Sapphire Shores also boasts proximity to Sarasota's cultural gems, including theaters, galleries, and fine dining, while serene beaches like Lido Key and Longboat Key beckon just minutes away. Adding to the neighborhood’s vibrancy are renowned institutions like New College, USF Sarasota-Manatee, and the Ringling College of Art and Design, infusing the community with creativity and intellectual energy.
More than just a place to live, Indian Beach/Sapphire Shores offers a lifestyle of elegance, inspiration, and connection. Whether you’re drawn by its historic character, its artistic pulse, or the sheer beauty of Sarasota Bay, you’ll find yourself immersed in a neighborhood that truly has it all. Welcome to a place where every day feels extraordinary....
