The walled entry opens to a grand foyer with a floating mahogany staircase, marble floors, paneled walls, and Murano chandeliers. An art gallery leads to a spacious living room featuring rich mahogany millwork and expansive lake vistas. Gourmet kitchen: salamander, dual double convection ovens, commercial icemaker, full-size refrigerator, and freezer. The main level includes one of two owners' suites, plus a library-lounge or a possible sixth bedroom. Dual staircases or a Thyssenkrupp elevator provide access to the upper level, which features four-bedroom suites, including the primary retreat. An 85-foot parlor with 20-foot ceilings, built-in bookshelves, and a wet bar provide a dramatic entertaining space. Screened porch captures southern lake views and Disney fireworks. Breezeway connects to a 5,600 SF rustic lodge with a bar, catering kitchen, entertainment hall, and locker facilities. Outdoor amenities: Junior Olympic pool, spa, decorative fountain, architectural lighting, direct lake access. The vast and open water location offers an ideal space for seaplane arrivals and departures. Additional structures include a 4,000 SF paneled garage with 20-foot ceilings, an office, and a guest apartment; a 3,800 SF storage building; three separate garages accommodating motor coach and car collection; and staff quarters with a private courtyard.
