Longboat Key beachside estate bought for $17.5 million

A north Longboat Key home with a name that evokes tropical paradise sold in early November for $17.5 million.

Ohana, a beachside estate built in a Polynesian style in the 6600 block of Gulf of Mexico Drive, was sold to John W. Wise and Kimberly Jo Wise as trustees of the Wise Family Trust, according to the property deed filed with the Manatee County Clerk of Court. The deal closed Nov. 8, Manatee County court records show.

The property listed for sale at $20 million, according to real estate records and spent nine days on the market. Previously it sold in May 2024 for $19.75 million, then a record. The sale eclipsed that high-water mark last summer of Serenissima, a $30.3 million property behind the gates of the Longboat Key Club.
