The stunning Florida estate owned by the late Boson Red Sox pitcher Tim Wakefield has been put up for sale at $3.3million.
The property, a waterfront mansion, is situated in Indian Harbour Beach in the exclusive Lansing Island Community, boasting four bedrooms and five bathrooms across 6,242 square feet.
It also has a pool with a waterfall, a jacuzzi, an outdoor fire place and summer kitchen. It went up on the market last Friday.
Wakefield lived at the property at time time of his death in October 2023 from brain cancer at the age of 57.
His widow, Stacy, passed away five months later from pancreatic cancer. The couple are survived by their two children Trevor and Brianna.
Tim’s passing was the subject of huge outrage because of his former Red Sox teammate Curt Schilling, who announced the news about Wakefield’s health against the wishes of the family themselves.

Schilling revealed the information on his podcast about Wakefield on his podcast, using his Christian faith as the excuse for airing such personal news.
‘Tim Wakefield, the knuckleballer, is sick,’ Schilling said. ‘And I talked to Doug Mirabelli yesterday, and it’s not a message that Tim has asked anyone to share and I’m not even sure if he wants it shared.
‘But as a Christian and a man of faith, I have seen prayer work, and so I’m going to talk about it.
‘Tomorrow is never, ever a given. Tim’s wife, Stacy, who is one of the sweetest women you’ll ever meet, is very sick with pancreatic cancer.
‘We’re all thinking about them and praying for her. But recently, Tim was diagnosed with a very serious, very aggressive form of brain cancer.’
The Red Sox moved quickly in response to Schilling, saying: ‘We are aware of the statements and inquiries about the health of Tim and Stacy Wakefield.
‘Unfortunately, this information has been shared publicly without their permission.
‘Their health is a deeply personal matter they intended to keep private as they navigate treatment and work to tackle this disease.

‘Tim and Stacy are appreciative of the support and love that has been extended to them and respectfully ask for privacy at this time.’
Tim died days after Schilling’s announcement and his widow Stacy passed in February this year surrounded by family at the age of 53.
‘The loss is unimaginable, especially in the wake of losing Tim just under five months ago. Our hearts are beyond broken,’ a statement released through the Red Sox read.
‘We will remember Stacy as a strong, loving, thoughtful and kind person, who was as down-to-earth as they come.
‘We feel so lucky to have had her in our lives, and we take comfort in the fact that she will be reunited with Tim, the love of her life.’

As much as Tim was celebrated for his achievements on the field, both he and Stacy were also regarded in Boston for their work in the community.
Stacy worked alongside her husband in raising money for multiple charitable groups, including the Red Sox Foundation.
They also worked with the Jimmy Fund, visiting with patients and raising funds for the childhood cancer charity.
