There is only one – The Ringling Estate. On the edge of Pansy Bayou on Lido Key, where morning light shimmers across still water and Gulf breezes drift through palms, a rare expression of coastal artistry takes form. Designed as both a serene retreat and an entertainer’s dream, the estate spans nearly 4,400 square feet of refined interiors - a masterful composition of light, texture, and craftsmanship that nods to Sarasota’s storied legacy as the home of the Ringling Museum and College of Art and Design. Every detail is a deliberate brushstroke in a masterpiece: an interplay of coastal hues, organic materials, and thoughtfully framed views that transform everyday living into art. Six ensuite bedrooms offer privacy and comfort, while the chef’s kitchen and expansive great room invite effortless gatherings filled with conversation, connection and cuisine. Beyond its walls, the estate becomes a private resort. A saltwater pool and spa glisten beneath swaying palms, a sun shelf tempts lingering afternoons, and laughter echoes down the waterslide’s curves. Multiple terraces, a covered patio with bar and dining space, and a rooftop deck with sweeping views of the Gulf, skyline, and sunsets – every vantage celebrating the artistry of light and water. From your private dock at the water’s edge, set out by kayak, paddleboard, or boat into Sarasota Bay as dolphins and manatees glide through nature’s living gallery. Just minutes from the Sarasota Performing Arts District and an enclave of world-class dining, galleries, and marinas, this home is a collector’s piece at the intersection of art, architecture and effortless living. More than a home, The Ringling Estate is part of an exclusive Vunique collection with a proven history of strong rental performance — each residence one-of-one, purpose-built to balance bold design and bespoke experience. Here, ownership transcends address; it becomes a mark of belonging to something beautifully uncommon.
