Own your own Country House in the city! This unique, one-of-a-kind generational lakefront compound situated on 17+ acres is a ranch-style estate designed and inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright. This private country home is on Johns Lake, a 138-acre lake famous for bass fishing, boating and water sports. Your journey begins along a hidden, quarter-plus mile drive lined with a canopy of majestic live oaks, leading through lush tropical landscaping to a secluded country estate in the city. This compound combines 3 separate living quarters (approx. 10,000 s.q ft.) - the main home, guest cottage and mother-in-law / staff apartment in the stable block. The main pool home boasts granite countertops in the kitchen, double ovens, gas cooktop, and a work-island with direct access to the dining room. The living and dining room features a wall-to-wall picture window bathing the space with natural light and phenomenal views of the gardens and Johns Lake. The first level owners suite is highlighted by a floating copper wood-burning fireplace, expansive closets and spa-inspired bath, walk-in shower and a private office with lake views. Two spacious bedrooms, balcony and a loft are located on the 2nd level. The retractable sliding glass doors in the living room open to a screen enclosed oasis featuring a lanai, sun deck, deep, oversized pool with spa and lakefront views. The cozy and quaint cottage with detached garage is across the pond, a short walk from the main house boasting 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a full kitchen with stainless steel appliances, counter and cabinet space, and a bonus room currently used as a library and a sitting room. The fully equipped mother-in-law or staff quarters is ideal for accommodating visiting family, offering a college student independence, or providing friends with a comfortable retreat. This space offers the blend of privacy, featuring its own entrance, kitchen and bath. This compound offers so many different possibilities: a horse ranch, skeet and pistol shooting, football/ soccer/baseball/sports field/ zip lining, ATVs and private shooting berm. The shoreline of this home is a sandy beach, great for the little ones, offering a long new boat dock, with gazebo and sunning deck, ladders to allow access in and out of the lake, as well as boat hook up; an ideal set up for multi-generational living! This property offers so many features, we can’t list them all here, one more spectacular feature is the fact that you can even land a helicopter on site! You won’t find another home like this in the bustling city of Orlando, in such a wonderful location and only 20 minutes to a private airport, OIA, Disney, Universal and Shopping! This home is being sold AS-IS. Don’t miss this rare and fantastic opportunity to bring your personal touch and vision to this country estate on the water, with the serenity of lakeside living.
