About 309 Ringling Point Dr

The very best value for open bayfront living near downtown Sarasota. Experience sweeping 270-degree views of Sarasota Bay from this stunning waterfront property. Perfectly positioned to capture iconic vistas of Ca’d’Zan, the former estate of John Ringling, plus the coastline of Longboat Key and spectacular sunsets. This 7,000 sq. ft. residence offers exceptional privacy and direct access to deep sailboat water. With a 17 foot elevation, this incredible home has many quality features that you must see to appreciate. Located in Ringling Point—a private cul-de-sac of just 11 homes within the sought-after community of Sapphire Shores—this property is minutes from downtown Sarasota, yet feels worlds away. The home features 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms and 2 half baths, multiple living areas, an elevator serving all floors, and a flexible layout ideal for families, entertaining, or multi-generational living. The main living level includes a formal living room with soaring 24-foot ceilings. Walls of windows fill the space with natural light and frame breathtaking views from every angle. A gas and wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and character, while a full-service bar with a tap dispenser, beverage coolers, and custom cabinetry is perfect for entertaining. The chef’s kitchen is outfitted with custom wood cabinetry, granite countertops, dual Dacor gas ranges with stainless hoods, Sub-Zero refrigeration, double ovens, warming drawers, and two dishwashers. A spacious island with seating provides ample space for casual dining or large gatherings. An expansive terrace overlooking the bay runs the width of the main level and is accessible from the living room, bar area, family room off of the kitchen and the guest bedroom. The owner’s retreat spans the entire second-floor right wing and features a private sitting area with fireplace, a full-length terrace overlooking the bay, an oversize dressing room with double walk-through closets, and a spa-style bath with a walk-in rain shower and pedestal tub. Just outside the suite is a temperature-controlled wine room. There are two large guest bedrooms on the left wing. Additional features include a 4-car garage, recording studio, hobby and flex rooms, and abundant storage throughout. The home also includes a clay tile roof (2019) and cement block construction built on pilings. Outdoor living is equally impressive. The newer lagoon-style pool features a grotto lounge shelf and gas-heated spa, surrounded by expansive covered terraces with tongue-and-groove ceilings and multiple seating areas to enjoy spectacular sunsets. The private dock extends into the bay, offering deep water access ideal for sailboats and larger vessels—with no fixed bridges to the Gulf. This prime location offers convenient access to downtown Sarasota, Gulf beaches, the Ringling Museum, IMG Academy, University Town Center, and Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport. A rare opportunity to own a legacy estate with unmatched views, quality, and location in one of Sarasota’s most desirable bayfront communities.
