The Boathouse & Lighthouse | A Storybook Legacy in Downtown Sarasota
Welcome to one of Sarasota’s most iconic and imaginative properties—The Boathouse & The Lighthouse—a pair of historic residences that blend whimsical design with rich local heritage. Featured on HGTV’s Zillow Gone Wild, this one-of-a-kind compound offers a rare chance to own a piece of Sarasota’s story.
Originally built in 1933 by master boatbuilder Oliver Blackburn for Arthur Rowe, former yacht captain to John Ringling and William Selby, this property is a living tribute to craftsmanship and coastal charm. Nestled in the heart of walkable Gillespie Park, it’s just minutes from downtown Sarasota’s vibrant arts, dining, and waterfront scene.
The Boathouse – A 2BR/2BA home designed to resemble a boat moored on land, complete with sun-drenched living areas, a sleek kitchen, and a spiral staircase leading to a private owner’s suite with balcony.
The Lighthouse – A vertical 1BR/1BA residence spanning three levels, crowned by a panoramic observation room ideal for a studio, office, or creative retreat.
Just 4.2 miles from Lido Beach, this tropical oasis offers easy access to Sarasota’s world-class coastline—bike, stroll, or drive to the sand and surf in minutes.
Whether you're an investor seeking high-performing short-term rentals, a creative soul in search of an inspiring live/work space, or a history lover drawn to Sarasota’s storied past, this property delivers unmatched character and flexibility. Live in one, rent the other, or reimagine both as a boutique retreat, artistic haven, or private compound.
This isn’t just real estate—it’s a legacy. A lifestyle. A landmark.
