Creedence Clearwater Revival bassist Stu Cook has listed his waterfront Sarasota estate for sale for nearly $10 million, according to a news release from Premier Sotheby’s International Realty.
Cook and his wife Dana Cook purchased the property at 3638 San Remo Terrace in 2013 for $2.95 million before transferring the property a family trust in 2017, according to Sarasota County property records.
The property was listed Tuesday for $9.975 million by Joel Schemmel with Premier Sotheby’s International Realty.
The 0.36-acre property includes a four-bedroom, five-bath modernist home designed by architect Carl Abbott. The architect is famous for blending luxury with nature with the Cook residence featuring a Zen-inspired waterfront setting, according to marketing materials.
Located in San Remo Estates just on the mainland near the north bridge to Siesta Key, the 4,550-square-foot house has “undeniable curb appeal with an expansive travertine walkway and a serene Zen garden,” according to marketing materials.
The property also boasts engineered white oak floors, a marble fireplace, a heated pool and a spa and fitness studio.
“This unparalleled estate is a vision of modern architectural excellence,” Schemmel said in a news release. “Every detail has been meticulously crafted to offer an elevated living experience that reflects a legendary music provenance.”
While pricey at just south of $10 million, the home built in 2002 won’t set any records in the Sarasota real estate as just last year a property in the Harbor Acres neighborhood near downtown fetched $20 million, setting the record for a single-family home in Sarasota County.
A double-unit condo at St. Regis Longboat Key also broke through the $20 million figure last year after Vail Properties LLC bought the renovated 10,800-square-foot condo in the region’s newest luxury resort in September. The company bought the two properties for $21.2 million.
Cook isn’t the only famous celebrity to at one time call this stretch of Florida home.
Starting with circus king John Ringling and wife Mable in 1911, Sarasota and Manatee counties have attracted the rich and famous from all walks of life.
Past residents include Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Dickey Betts and Gregg Allman (co-leaders of the Allman Brothers Band), Donna Summer (the disco queen had a home on Manasota Key Road), Donald “Duck” Dunn (Booker T. & the M.G.’s and The Blues Brothers’ bassist lived on Snead Island in Palmetto), and Jerry Wexler (producer of classic albums by Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin and Bob Dylan lived on Siesta Key).
The list of famous musicians currently living in the region includes AC/DC’s Brian Johnson, Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood and Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry, according to previous Herald-Tribune reporting.
