From the listing

For the first time The Higel Estate presents a rare opportunity to acquire 4200, 4189, and 4185 Shell Road, creating a 2.64-acre Gulf-front estate on Siesta Key with approximately 290ft of frontage along Sarasota Big Pass with a private beach. Rooted in the island's Old Florida character, the property brings together a collection of residences and an expanse of Gulf-front land rarely found along Sarasota's coastline. Built in 1953, the original main residence and guest house remain nestled among mature tropical landscaping, just steps from the private beach. Across the three parcels, the scale of the assemblage creates the opportunity to envision something extraordinary. Architectural plans by MHK Architecture illustrate the potential for an approximately 14,000sqft residence, transforming the acreage into one grand coastal estate. Alternatively, the existing residence could become the centerpiece of a private multi-residence compound, with a separate conceptual plan envisioning an approximately 8,000sqft residence across the additional parcels. These plans offer a glimpse of what may be possible, while the combined acreage leaves the door open to an entirely different vision, shaped by the ambitions of its next owner. Named after Sarasota pioneer Harry Higel, Higel Avenue holds a distinctive place in the history of Siesta Key. Today, its Gulf-front corridor remains one of the area's most coveted settings, where assembling acreage of this scale has become increasingly difficult. The Higel Estate brings together the elements that define a truly exceptional coastal offering: a meaningful stretch of Gulf frontage, a private beach, historic island character, and the rare opportunity to shape what comes next.
