Manatee County mansion with ‘lagoon pool’ on sale for $22 million. Look inside
A luxury Manatee County waterfront home is for sale for $22 million.
Named the “House of Columns,” the nearly 6,900-square-foot mansion at 6610 Gulf of Mexico Drive sits on roughly 4.5 acres on Longboat Key’s north end along Sarasota Bay.
Award-winning architect Carl Abbott, who is part of the Sarasota School of Architecture movement and received a University of Florida lifetime architecture award, built the estate, which has four bedrooms, four bathrooms and three half-bathrooms, in 2007.
Some of the amenities include a lagoon-style pool, a private dock for two boats, 21-foot ceilings, an elevator, automated shades for each window and door, an air-conditioned four-car garage and a whole-home generator.
The mansion is a two-story single-family home that “unfolds like a private peninsula, offering exceptional width, depth and privacy,” the listing said.
Sotheby’s International Realty’s Katy McBrayer and Montana Taplinger are the listing agents.
