$13 Million Longboat Key Estate Hits the Market

Barbara Ackerman Lists $13 Million Longboat Key Gulf Front Estate.

Known as “The Johnson Estate”, the property has 150 feet of pristine beach front and spans over two acres. The 10,000 square foot gated estate, completed in 2007, exudes “Neo Classical” elegance. Custom grand windows and doors lead to private serene views of unending Gulf of Mexico blue waters.

“This is one of the first beachfront homes on Longboat Key to become available in years,” said Coldwell Banker’s Ackerman, a real estate professional for over 25 years. “It is difficult to find such a rare jewel for sale in this area. I am proud to represent the finest estate on Longboat Key.”

The estate is designed for tremendous privacy containing seven bedrooms and eight baths. The resort style pool features an underwater table, stools, benches and spa. Outdoor activities abound from windsurfing and sandcastles, to sunset al fresco dining on the large balconies and outdoor entertaining areas overlooking the calming surf.

Highlights include a two-story library, inspired by North Carolina’s Biltmore Estate library, an impressive double mahogany staircase, a music and entertainment area, a grand fireplace, and gourmet kitchen. Beyond the living area the estate contains 5,000 square feet of storage and recreation area ideal for beachfront living. The guest wing offers a tranquil retreat with a West Indies feel, nestled among butterfly gardens, banyan and mango trees. A motor court leads to a four-car garage with brick pavered promenade that outlines Longboat Key’s most beautiful beach estate.
