Privacy, luxury & leisure time are paramount on this sprawling estate, located directly on Lake Harris part of the Chain of Lakes. The exclusive waterfront home is accessible through a gated driveway, which is lined by a meticulously landscaped yard filled with palm trees, manicured hedges, and flowerbeds. The 11,500 square foot home was custom built to maximize the lake views from nearly every room. On the interior, the craftsmanship and attention to detail can be found from floor (diagonally laid hardwoods, porcelain tiles) to ceiling (tongue & groove + barrel+coffered+tray). You’ll also find custom millwork, leaded glass entry door, granite countertops, multiple fireplaces, and designer finishes. The oversized windows in every room let in lots of natural light & create frames for those picture-perfect water views. The extravagant outdoor spaces were made for both quiet relaxation and entertaining large groups. You have your own park in the backyard, complete with a walking path that leads down to the dock and a boathouse with 2 lifts. And at the rear of the house, the spectacular enclosure serves as a 2-story Florida room encompassing the upstairs & downstairs lanais, the outdoor bar & kitchen, plus the gorgeous pool & spa. Back inside, the floorplan offers multiple living spaces where everyone can spread out. The open kitchen and dining areas were made to handle a crowd and offer easy access to the pool area. Other living areas include a homework station, a dedicated game room and a sophisticated office filled with custom wood/trim/built-in storage. Each bedroom has its own ensuite, and the versatile room above the garage could also be used as a theater or private guest quarters. Located within Central Florida’s famed Harris Chain of Lakes, this exclusive retreat may feel remote, but it’s close to everything you need. You’ll be just minutes from quaint downtown Leesburg and Mount Dora, The Villages, UF Health & Advent Heal, golf courses and sports complexes. There are countless shopping & dining options along US Hwy 441, with Leesburg International Airport close by, too. You can be at Disney or the Orlando International airport in under an hour, and the drive to either coast or downtown Tampa is just over an hour. This is a rare opportunity to purchase a one-of-a-kind lakefront estate.
