About this home
BECOME A PART OF HISTORY-Introducing “La Hacienda del Puesta Sol”, one of Sarasota’s most distinguished historic estates-an extraordinary Spanish Eclectic masterpiece residence built at the height of the 1920’s Florida boom. Positioned just steps from the shimmering waters of Sarasota Bay and Indian Beach, this nearly half-acre gated sanctuary blends architectural mastery, artistic heritage, and timeless history. This is a rare chance to own not just a home, but a legacy. Available for the First time in over Four Decades, The Albert Roehr Estate "La Hacienda del Puesta Sol" - The Estate of the Setting Sun- was officially designated a historical structure by the city of Sarasota, Florida in 1987. It may possibly qualify for National designation. The estate reflects the craftsmanship of its original owner, Albert Roehr, a celebrated artisan whose ornamental ironwork graces the gates of the John Ringling Mansion and landmarks throughout Sarasota and St. Armands. Written history and biography available upon request.
The main residence features 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths, filled with original hardwood floors, a grand hardwood staircase, Italian-style tile, ornate crown molding and original chandeliers.
A grand wrap-around screened porch captures breathtaking sunsets and sea breezes, accessible through French doors from the formal living room. The parlor and dining room showcase large sunny windows that keep the home bright and inviting. The kitchen includes natural gas, porcelain tile, Brazilian wood cabinetry with glass display, and stone countertops.
The expansive primary suite offers abundant windows, original wood floors, a masonry fireplace, and an en-suite bath. A private third-floor widow’s peak provides a secluded hideaway overlooking the bay, perfect for reflection or inspiration. The second bedroom opens to a rooftop sitting area overlooking Sarasota Bay’s private sunset moments.
The property includes a historic carriage house with two rental opportunities: a downstairs studio and an upstairs 2-bed/1-bath apartment, each with separate entries. Short-term rentals (7-day minimum) are allowed, creating three potential income-producing residences on one property.
The artistic courtyard is a sanctuary—designed by the current owner, well-known commercial artist Norton Rock—resembles an old-world Italian street with a fountain, reflecting pool, concrete arches, and mosaics. It has hosted lavish events for ambassadors, business leaders, artists, and dignitaries and was often used as a creative setting for Ringling art students.
Set in the desirable Ringling neighborhood near the John & Mabel Ringling Museum and Mansion, this estate is minutes from downtown Sarasota, SRQ Airport, beaches, restaurants, and cultural attractions.
With a legacy of distinguished owners and residents—including Roehr himself, Herald-Tribune Editor George Lindsay, and well known historian and author Karl H. Grismer—this residence is more than a home. It is an irreplaceable piece of Sarasota history.
For those who feel drawn to authenticity, craftsmanship, and story—this isn’t just a home. This is your invitation to become part of Sarasota’s history. PLEASE VIEW VIRTUAL TOUR VIDEO...
