This exceptional Mediterranean-inspired private estate, nestled on nearly 1 acre of land along Shell Creek, is the ultimate retreat for living, working, playing, and entertaining. Boasting 5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms in the main residence, along with a separate guest house that includes an additional bedroom, bathroom, and kitchenette, this property offers both luxury and comfort. Located on the water, it features a resort-style pool/spa with custom stonework & waterfalls, all offering stunning views and ultimate privacy. A large dock with a 10,000 lb. lift completes the outdoor paradise. As you enter through the gates and approach the grand circular driveway, you are greeted by meticulously manicured landscaping. Enter through custom front doors, you are welcomed into a dramatic 26-foot-tall grand foyer, which opens into the expansive great room featuring a gas fireplace, coffered ceilings, and a wall of windows framing breathtaking poolside views. The home features imported Italian marble flooring in the main living areas, hand-rubbed faux finishes on the walls and ceilings, a custom radial staircase with intricate iron railings leading to the second floor, granite countertops, and high-end appliances, all complemented by custom trim and luxurious finishes. The main floor includes a formal dining room, a kitchen equipped with Viking and Fisher & Paykel appliances, and a dinette. This area seamlessly connects to the great room and the entertainment room, which overlooks the water and includes a large bar with glass-fronted shelving, seating, and convenient amenities like an additional dishwasher, ice maker, and beverage center. This floor also features a powder room with a hammered copper sink, a laundry room, and access to the pristine 3-car garage, which includes a Tesla charging station. On the opposite side of the great room, you'll find a media room that could also serve as an additional bedroom, as well as the first primary suite.
