One of the Last Remaining Legacy Properties on Golden Gate Point | Rare Trophy Ownership, Redevelopment & Strategic Hold Opportunity A truly rare offering in one of Sarasota’s most exclusive and rapidly evolving luxury enclaves. With no true single-family homes currently remaining on Golden Gate Point and only a small handful of original legacy properties left, 161 Golden Gate Point represents one of the final opportunities to control a meaningful piece of “old Golden Gate” before the peninsula is fully transformed. Positioned in the heart of downtown Sarasota, across from the Ritz-Carlton and adjacent to Marina Jack, the property currently consists of a fully updated Four-unit building featuring newer central A/Cs, five-piece stainless kitchens, quartz countertops, new roof (2025), separate electrical meters, gated courtyards, hot tub, and gazebo — offering immediate usability and meaningful interim income while future plans are explored. Located within the City of Sarasota weekly vacation rental zone, this creates a rare opportunity not commonly found in downtown Sarasota — operate the property similarly to a boutique hotel. For the visionary buyer, this may represent a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create what could become Golden Gate Point’s only true single-family estate — a one-of-one trophy residence in the heart of downtown Sarasota. The property also presents compelling redevelopment potential. Golden Gate Point benefits from alternative development standards intended to support a more urban, pedestrian-friendly environment, including reduced setbacks, increased building coverage allowances, and flexible dimensional standards — enhancing redevelopment possibilities in this highly sought-after peninsula location. Similar RMF-5 sites on Golden Gate Point have supported boutique luxury residential concepts, while the adjacent rear assemblage totaling approximately 21,600 SF is also available, creating a rare opportunity for a larger strategic assemblage in one of Sarasota’s most supply-constrained luxury micro-markets. 161 also represents a compelling long-term hold opportunity. As Golden Gate Point continues its luxury transformation — and remaining legacy properties disappear — the opportunity to control irreplaceable downtown Sarasota land becomes increasingly rare. Just moments to Marina Jack, downtown Sarasota dining, St. Armands Circle, Lido Beach, and Sarasota’s transformative bayfront destination, The Bay. Whether envisioned as: • Rare short-term rental building where you control the entire property • One of Golden Gate Point’s final legacy holdings • A future one-of-one single-family estate • A boutique luxury redevelopment site • A strategic assemblage opportunity • A family office or long-term scarcity hold • Or a rare downtown Sarasota land play with meaningful interim income potential …opportunities of this nature are becoming increasingly difficult to replicate.

Exotic and extremely private bay front property on the market for the first time in 40 years. In fact, this is only the third time it’s been available in 100 years. Travel back in time to find ancient oaks and large palms, Banyans, and cedars. It’s an idyllic paradise reminding us of why people have come to these shores for millennia. Although this is direct waterfront, most of the land is not in the flood zone creating many possibilities for new structures on or near grade. What is most unique is the 444-foot lot depth. This is almost 4 times that of other bayfront parcels being redeveloped in the area. This extreme distance provides complete privacy from Bay Shore Road and with each adjacent property a multi-acre estate, the feeling of spaciousness and seclusion is complete. Leave the world behind on the long, winding shell drive through tree canopy and lush vegetation. At “the end of the road” is the original homesite on a small bluff directly on and overlooking Sarasota Bay. Your views are of Longboat and Lido Key and out New Pass to the Gulf of Mexico. Looking south you see our bustling little city of Sarasota and the John Ringling Bridge. Enjoy sea breezes in the afternoon and sunsets all year round. A parcel like this is an architects dream providing the size necessary to create what anyone might want, elevation allowing cascading terraces down to the waterfront and multiple, potential “footprints” for accessory dwellings, accessory structures and more. Bay Shore Road has become an eclectic location for the grandest homes in Sarasota. This has led to sales over 10 million dollars and have exceeded 15 million. But you could not put a price on the most spectacular neighbor, Ca’ d Zan. John Ringling’s gilded Venetian palace anchors the neighborhood to the north and downtown Sarasota is just 2 miles south. Other nearby cultural & educational institutions include the Ringling Museum of Art, the Asolo Theater of Performing Arts, the Sarasota Ballet, the Ringling College of Art & Design and our newest amenity, The Bay Park Conservancy redeveloping 53 acres of City waterfront into a world class public park.
