Indian Beach waterfront estate hits the market at $10.9 million

For the first time in 40 years, a large estate in the oldest settlement in Sarasota is available for purchase. Located on 210 feet of private waterfront at Indian Beach, 900 Alameda Lane is listed for $10.9 million.

The estate stands on nearly 2 acres of manicured gardens with a resort-style pool and features a 3,209-square-foot, two-bedroom, three-bath main house, a guest cottage and a carriage house above one of the two-car garages. 

The property dates back to 1894. The original 20-by-30-foot, two-story farmhouse was incorporated in the respectful remodel.

The main house has wide-planked pine floors and high cedar-paneled ceilings with westward views of Sarasota Bay.

The open floor plan is filled with natural light with walls of windows and doors overlooking the grounds, the beach and “Ozzy the Osprey’s" perch. Giant oaks provide shade and protection around the property.
