Description

Own your own Country House in the city! This unique, one-of-a-kind generational lakefront compound situated on 17+ acres is a ranch-style estate designed and inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright. This private country home is on Johns Lake, a 138-acre lake famous for bass fishing, boating and water sports. Your journey begins along a hidden, quarter-plus mile drive lined with a canopy of majestic live oaks, leading through lush tropical landscaping to a secluded country estate in the city. This compound combines 3 separate living quarters (approx. 10,000 s.q ft.) - the main home, guest cottage and mother-in-law / staff apartment in the stable block. The main pool home boasts granite countertops in the kitchen, double ovens, gas cooktop, and a work-island with direct access to the dining room. The living and dining room features a wall-to-wall picture window bathing the space with natural light and phenomenal views of the gardens and Johns Lake. The first level owners suite is highlighted by a floating copper wood-burning fireplace, expansive closets and spa-inspired bath, walk-in shower and a private office with lake views. Two spacious bedrooms, balcony and a loft are located on the 2nd level. The retractable sliding glass doors in the living room open to a screen enclosed oasis featuring a lanai, sun deck, deep, oversized pool with spa and lakefront views. The cozy and quaint cottage with detached garage is across the pond, a short walk from the main house boasting 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a full kitchen with stainless steel appliances, counter and cabinet space, and a bonus room currently used as a library and a sitting room. The fully equipped mother-in-law or staff quarters is ideal for accommodating visiting family, offering a college student independence, or providing friends with a comfortable retreat. This space offers the blend of privacy, featuring its own entrance, kitchen and bath. This compound offers so many different possibilities: a horse ranch, skeet and pistol shooting, football/ soccer/baseball/sports field/ zip lining, ATVs and private shooting berm. The shoreline of this home is a sandy beach, great for the little ones, offering a long new boat dock, with gazebo and sunning deck, ladders to allow access in and out of the lake, as well as boat hook up; an ideal set up for multi-generational living! This property offers so many features, we can’t list them all here, one more spectacular feature is the fact that you can even land a helicopter on site! You won’t find another home like this in the bustling city of Orlando, in such a wonderful location and only 20 minutes to a private airport, OIA, Disney, Universal and Shopping! Don’t miss this rare and fantastic opportunity to bring your personal touch and vision to this country estate on the water, with the serenity of lakeside living.
