Serenity, privacy and nature abound. For those who desire peace and space, this sprawling estate offers an inspiring environment. Your morning reflection time can be spent among abundant flora and imported Cantera stone with a view across the elegant pool to the spring-fed pond beyond. The home’s design makes these serene environs easily accessible from most interior living spaces. Your guests will be welcomed by the gracious openness that greets them and views from the front entrance to the gathering spaces that await, both inside and out. A kitchen area designed for both entertaining and easy family living, a dining room fit for 8 or more, and two main sitting areas offer such ample comfort you may seldom want to leave. The luxury of the owner’s suite is apparent immediately through its 8’ double doors, opening to the expansive bedroom and lounging area with ample natural light. The bath area features natural stone tile and a view of the water and nature that surrounds. The three guest bedrooms (2 en-suites) are set privately apart from the main living areas. One of these, currently used as an artist’s studio, is accessed through 8’ double doors and opens to a sun-filled room, easily re-purposed as a private work or study from home space. This extraordinary, contemporary hacienda style estate is placed on 5 acres of both open and natural land, fenced and private. And, while set apart from the coveted Lakewood Ranch community with its endless amenities, it is a mere 10-minute drive away.
