Property Description

Tucked away in the EXCLUSIVE LOST RIVER PRESERVE,this custom-built Mediterranean-inspired ESTATE rises from the water’s edge as a symbol of elegance and resilience. Spanning over 2.25 ACRES across FOUR ADDRESSES and boasting more than 300 FEET OF PRISTINE WATER FRONTAGE, it is more than a residence-it is a GENERATIONAL RETREAT, where sunrises reflect across the lake and sunsets remind you that you’ve arrived somewhere extraordinary. From the moment you enter through the landscaped paver courtyard,the estate feels like a sanctuary.Inspired by a vision and executed with UNPARALLELED CRAFTSMANSHIP, it showcases poured concrete tilt walls, impact rated windows/doors,and a Galv-Aluminum tile-look roof engineered to withstand Florida’s fiercest storms.Elevated in coveted FLOOD ZONE X, it stands HIGH AND DRY offering permanence and peace of mind few properties can match. Inside, 6700 sqft. of refined living expand across TWO DISTINCT YET CONNECTED RESIDENCES, joined by a sun-drenched foyer-a masterful design for MULTI-GENERATIONAL LIVING. Arched displays, soaring tray ceilings, and walls of glass frame the most expansive lakefront panorama in the community, inviting sweeping views that transform every room into a gallery of natural beauty. The main living areas and both primary suites were intentionally designed to embrace the lakefront, the suites serving as serene escapes-dual closets, spa-inspired baths, and bay windows with seating areas. Both wings include a formal office, ensuite bedrooms, generous storage, and dedicated laundry rooms.A flexible space with kitchenette and full ensuite opens directly to the pool terrace an ideal setting for a gym, home studio, or private guest suite. Beyond the walls, a private resort awaits complete with a CUSTOM SALTWATER POOL with sun shelves, 9 PERSON SPA, full pool bath, and outdoor kitchen beneath a screened lanai that gazes endlessly across the water perfect for timeless celebrations and lakeside traditions.The COVERED BOAT DOCK includes a ski boat hoist and filleting station, while the SECOND BOAT DOCK accommodates kayaks or jet skis and is crowned with a bell to ring in every sunset. Expanding the possibilities, the DETACHED VILLA provides a 1200 sqft. guest residence with full kitchen and living quarters, along with a THREE-BAY GARAGE for boats, jet skis, and more.An 800 sqft. LAKEFRONT ENTERTAINMENT SPACE with full bath and double French doors open directly to the water, creating a venue for family gatherings, holiday celebrations, private retreats, or even waterfront weddings—ensuring the estate lives far larger than its already impressive footprint. Lost River Preserve, with 900 acres of protected shoreline and lakes, delivers a rare fusion of natural beauty and refined living. Residents indulge in boating, kayaking, and trophy bass fishing amid scenery where roseate spoonbills, ospreys, and herons grace the skies.Beneath its tranquil surface lies a fascinating past—the site of the renowned Leisey Shell Pit discovery, with fossils now showcased at the nearby Paleo Preserve Fossil Museum adding timeless depth to this extraordinary setting. More than construction and design it is a statement of legacy and lifestyle.Offering rare seclusion without sacrifice, ONLY 35 MINUTES FROM DOWNTOWN TAMPA—a cosmopolitan hub of fine dining, luxury shopping, championship sports, and world-class entertainment awaits.This remarkable estate is without equal. Here,STRENGTH meets SERENITY, and LUXURY meets nature.
