Massive Clearwater estate back on the market with an asking price of nearly $30M
The 16,000-square-foot waterfront estate at 802 Druid Road S. is back on the market, but this time the asking price is roughly $30 million.
The 4.4-acre property, owned by local businessman Stephen Hess, who owns multiple chiropractor clinics, is located in the historic Harbor Oaks neighborhood and overlooks the Clearwater Habor. It has its own private tennis courts, basketball courts, multiple pools and a dock that can accommodate a 65 to 75-foot yacht.
The listing includes the original 16,000-square-foot house, a guest house at 800 Druid Road and the 3,000-square-foot guest house at 820 Druid Road.
Up until several days ago, the property was listed for roughly $24 million with the option to separately purchase the guest home at 820 Druid Road for an additional $5.9 million.
With the addition of the second home, the property has a combined 19 bedrooms (with 16 in the main house) and 23 bathrooms.
The two-story main house, which was built in 1915, features a grand ballroom, a theater room, a fitness center, an executive office and a library.
The property is able to accommodate 10 or more vehicles.
The home was last sold in 2020 to Hess for $9.3 million.
It previously sold for $11.18 million in 2017 to an entity tied to Dubai-based real estate developer Blaise Carroz, according to Pinellas County property records.
The listing agent is Rafal Wazio of Coldwell Banker Residential.
Wazio is the same agent who represented the seller on the $4 million sale of the Clearwater home tied to Hollywood actor John Travolta.
Wazio declined to comment about the listing.

I grew up in the neighborhood when it was called “The Magnolia Estates”, which was developed in the 30’s. Went to the adjacent school “South Ward Elementary”. The community was mostly Jewish at the time, and in the 80’s many properties were occupied by entrepreneurs. It saddened me greatly when Scientology took over the historic Jack Tar Harrison Hotel, which once had such guests the The Rolling Stones.

Sold the roofing materials on this remodel for Nigel Mansel. Albritton Roofing did the roof. Was quite the project back on the day.
