The $13.5 Million Florida Mansion Where ‘The Beach Is Your Backyard’ Became a Viral Sensation: The ‘Dream House’
A Florida mansion with a private beach worth $13.5 million as its backyard has been viewed by more than 37 million people after a clip of the exotic location went viral on TikTok.
The stunning Sarasota home, built in 1983, features 6,648 square feet, including six bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms.
Home, written by Faith Stutzman of Stutzman Realty Group, first hit the market in October for $15.5 million. On December 2, the asking price was cut to $14.9 million, then dropped again a few days later, this time to $13.5 million, where it remains.
However, the listing was given a surprising boost when the local clip was uploaded to TikTok, where it quickly took off, garnering more than 37.9 million views to date. Many onlookers are enthralled by its impressive beauty: a secret piece of Siesta Key coastline.
“A rare opportunity to own one of Siesta Key’s most exclusive properties,” captioned the video, posted by a luxury real estate expert. Rachel Hamricklearn.
“Your backyard POV is the #1 beach in the country,” says the on-screen title.
Social media users praised the luxury home’s private beach, with many describing it as their “dream” location—while others expressed shock that such a setting was available.
“Now THIS is a dream home! Your own little private beach?!” one person wrote, as another commented: “May this kind of wealth find me!!!!”
It remains to be seen whether the site’s online reputation will help it secure a buyer. Records show it’s still on the market, with several open houses held over the weekend.
The facade of the home is decorated with a beautiful white panel. However, the jewel of the property is the backyard, which offers a private beach and comes with a resort-style pool.
