Stunning, custom-designed 6-bedroom lakeside estate on Harris Chain of Lakes. The 2+ acre property is accessed through a private security gate and the driveway winds through towering palm & oak trees. The closer you get to the main house, the more the curb appeal wows, with landscaped planting beds and a 4-car garage that includes a potential 840 sq ft in-law suite above. The beautiful custom-built residence resembles a modern, Southern-style castle, with a stone turret, a wrap-around screened-in porch and stunning panoramic Lake Griffin views. Step through the grand double entry doors to find more than 6,558 sq ft of living space, complete with soaring ceilings, hardwood floors, a curved staircase, crown molding and tons of natural light. This great floorplan puts the game room/den & the formal dining room just off the foyer, with the large living room open to the eat-in kitchen at the back. Your gourmet kitchen features professional-grade appliances, custom cabinetry, a butler’s pantry, a unique octagonal island as well as a breakfast bar with seating for a crowd. Just steps away, you’ll find screened-in & open-air lanais that lead out to a true backyard oasis. There’s lots of space to entertain guests on the travertine deck surrounding the lagoon-style pool. Of course, this property also includes 123 feet of prime lake frontage, with a private dock and a covered boat slip. The property comes with a cool treehouse and an immaculate 3-bay workshop with enough room to store your boat and all your outdoor toys. Back inside, there are six spacious bedrooms and six bathrooms, as well as a bonus office nook/remote learning spot in the loft upstairs. What a location! This private lakeside retreat in the heart of Florida’s chain of lakes is still only a few minutes from LRMC, downtown Leesburg and all the shopping & dining along Rt 441. You can also be at the airport, Orlando or Disney World in about an hour. Florida is attracting new residents every day and this special home has everything homebuyers are looking for – privacy, room for everyone to spread out, a pool, separate guest quarters and fantastic views. This magnificent home is one of the best kept secrets in the area.
