4645 Ainsley Place in Sarasota is currently listed for $22,000,000 by Michael Saunders and Company. This 7-bedroom mansion is located on 7.5 acres of prime waterfront land that can be easily subdivided for up to 6 total properties.

While the interior could certainly use some updating, the main house has excellent bones to create the living space of your dreams. Rooms are spacious and filled with light from endless windows that look out onto the landscaped grounds.

Do you love to entertain? The listing already includes multiple houses for your out-of-town visitors or extended family. A pool house looks straight out onto Sarasota Bay, while a guest house could just as easily be a single-family home in any upscale neighborhood.

The boater in the family will love the long private dock and drive-up boathouse. This sturdy feature will keep your vessel safe from the elements if a storm is in the forecast. There is even enough room for your jetskis and kayaks.
