Property Description

Spanish-inspired architecture, artistic flair, and breathtaking lakefront scenery come together in this truly one-of-a-kind estate on the shores of Lake Hamilton. Situated on more than one acre of fully fenced waterfront property with a wrought-iron gated entrance and no HOA restrictions, this custom residence offers over 5,400 square feet of living area designed for both grand entertaining and everyday enjoyment of Florida's lakefront lifestyle. From the moment you arrive, the home's distinctive architectural design makes a lasting impression. A circular driveway leads to the large covered portico where a tranquil fountain welcomes guests and creates an unforgettable arrival experience. Stepping through the double doors reveals a dramatic foyer with soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and immediate panoramic lake views. Throughout the home, artistic influence and personality are evident at every turn. One of the owners is an accomplished artist, and their creativity is beautifully reflected in the home's unique design elements, decor, and inviting spaces. The completely remodeled kitchen, updated in 2018, serves as the heart of the home and features extensive custom cabinetry, granite countertops, a striking raised glass breakfast bar, center island with a built-in wine trough, and a bright eat-in dining area overlooking the lake. Nearby, the formal dining room provides the perfect initimate setting for holiday gatherings and special occasions. Designed with flexibility in mind, the home offers multiple living and entertaining spaces including a spacious family room anchored by a fireplace, dedicated office, theater room, enclosed Florida room stretching across the rear of the home, and numerous areas for relaxation or hosting guests. The expansive Florida room is the ideal place to begin each day with coffee while watching spectacular sunrises paint the sky over the water. The first floor features three generously sized guest bedrooms, while the private owner's retreat occupies the upper level. This luxurious sanctuary enjoys elevated wraparound views of Lake Hamilton, creating a peaceful escape unlike anything else in the area. Also located above is a unique artist's perch or widow's walk, offering an elevated vantage point to enjoy panoramic views, morning and evening skies, wildlife watching, and endless inspiration. Outdoor living is equally impressive. The heated salt-filtered pool, completed in 2018, overlooks the lake and creates a resort-style atmosphere. Expansive paver decking and wide-open lawn areas provide ample room for family gatherings, pets, and outdoor recreation. A composite dock extends into Lake Hamilton, making it easy to enjoy boating, fishing, paddleboarding, and sunset cruises. Spanning nearly 1,900 acres, Lake Hamilton is widely known for its excellent fishing, boating opportunities, and scenic beauty. Cruise across the lake to enjoy dining and entertainment at local favorites such as Floridino's and Port 27 before returning home for a peaceful sunset ride across the water. Additional features include a detached two-car garage, large storage shed and the privacy and freedom that comes with having no HOA. Rarely does a property combine architectural character, artistic expression, expansive living space, resort-style amenities, and over an acre of lakefront land in such a remarkable setting. This is more than a home—it is a private waterfront retreat where every sunrise feels like a work of art.
