The largest parcel now for sale

In Sarasota, Florida sits an estate fit for the elite, now up for grabs for a cool $20 million.

But this isn’t just any waterfront property — it’s the largest parcel now for sale along the entire Gulf Coast.

The Earle House is available for $4 million, with the option to purchase the adjacent parcel, for $16 million. They can be swept up together, spanning 6.6 acres, or purchased separately.

Once the pride of the late John Cuneo, the scion of a family with ties to the legendary Ringling Bro. circus company, this sprawling estate boasts not only a rich history, but also the promise of lavish modern luxury.

The Cuenos, known for leasing exotic animals to the circus, spared no expense in crafting their Sarasota sanctuary.

This mansion greets visitors with a columned facade, leading them to a jewel-toned dining room with built-in wine storage and an expansive kitchen.

Lisa Rooks Morris of Douglas Elliman holds the listing.

“The Earle House Estate property is truly breathtaking — the home has incredible allure in its past and also its potential, and the scale and beauty of the setting are magical,” Morris told The Post.

Made up of four bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, the home features a bevy of luxurious features including the waterfront saltwater pool, an elevator and top-line appliances.

Upstairs, three large bedrooms offer unparalleled views, while the primary suite boasts a walk-in closet with a custom built-in wardrobe system, and a marble-clad bathroom with an oversized vanity and a walk-in shower.

As Morris puts it, “this estate — the home and the surrounding land — is significant not just to the formation of the prestigious Indian Beach/Sapphire Shores community in Sarasota but also to the early 19th-century American history of winter migration that brought affluent residents from the Northeast and Midwest to Florida’s shores.”
