Luxurious Lakefront Estate ~ This custom French Country manor offers 5,615 sqft of living space plus 2,234 sqft of covered outdoor space. Presented to you by its original owner, impeccably maintained and lavishly upgraded with the highest quality materials and craftsmanship. Well-situated on 6.77-acre property with 200 feet of water frontage on 244-acre private spring-fed Lake Mills. Tucked away in coveted Mills Cove, an exclusive gated community comprised of 29 country estates with generously spaced mansions on large acreage lots. The treelined street of Bluewater Run welcomes you to this remarkable waterfront retreat, one of only ten lakefront properties within the community. The grandiose gated entrance with extensive paver driveway invites you along a meticulously manicured front lawn adorned with mature oaks and magnolias leading to split side-entry garages. Board and batten shutters, arched windows, and a copper metal roofed tower are just a few notable features of its fastidious facade. The magnificent travertine tiled front porch with custom solid wood double arched 10' doors beckons you inside this majestic mansion into an elegant two-story foyer. Hand-painted coffered ceilings, custom stone pillars, wrought iron accents, masterful millwork, and travertine flooring with marble inlay. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream with enormous island, exotic granite, 6-burner Legacy gas stove, farmhouse sink, additional copper sink, pot filler, convection oven, and warming drawer. The incredible two-story great room is enveloped by an upstairs wrap-around balcony with iron railings. The triple sliders showcase the resort-style grounds and sparkling lagoon-style pool with beach entry and stone Grotto with cascading waterfall. The covered lanai with tongue-and-groove wood ceilings has multiple seating areas, wood-burning fireplace, and cabana kitchen with built-in grill and stone hood. Exterior spiral staircase leads to the upstairs balcony with even more spectacular water views. The day begins and ends watching a family of deer in their natural habitat along with the occasional bunnies, foxes, hawks, and countless varieties of birds. Take an evening stroll along the walkover through conservation and cypress trees to your own private dock with covered electric lifts for both your boat and jet skis. Immerse yourself in the western facing lake views offering breathtaking sunsets over the water. With no public access to Lake Mills, do not be surprised to find yourself alone on the glassy water even on a blue sky summer weekend. This secluded fishing/boating haven is zoned for A-rated schools, just 5 min to Publix plaza, 15 min to Oviedo on the Park, 35 min to Downtown Orlando and Int?l Airport, an hour from the beach.
