The super-private property is surrounded by a 10-foot wall and located in Isleworth Golf & Country Club, a gated community.
The club includes an 18-hole course, a clubhouse and a resort-style pool.
The listing agents have also arranged for architects to prepare renderings of "enhancements" that a buyer could negotiate to have added to the home.
This is not the first time Shaq has listed his Florida home for sale. In 2018, it hit the market at $28 million, and the price was later cut to $22 million before the listing was pulled.
He appears to be looking to downsize his real estate portfolio. Shaq has also listed his Bell Canyon, Calif., mansion. He shared a video tour advertising the $2.5 million home on his Instagram in February.
