Description

Tucked away within the exclusive enclave of Lost River Preserve, this custom-built Mediterranean-inspired estate blends timeless elegance with extraordinary craftsmanship along the water's edge. Newly repositioned to reflect an exceptional opportunity within Tampa Bay's luxury market, this rare legacy property spans more than 2.25 acres across four addresses with over 300 feet of water frontage-designed for multigenerational living, entertaining, and unforgettable lakeside memories. From the moment you enter through the landscaped paver courtyard, the estate feels like a private sanctuary. Thoughtfully constructed with poured concrete tilt walls, impact-rated windows and doors, and a Galvalume aluminum tile-look roof engineered for durability, the home offers exceptional resilience while positioned high and dry in Flood Zone X for added peace of mind. Inside, nearly 6,700 square feet of refined living space unfolds across two distinct yet connected residences joined by a sunlit foyer-an ideal layout for multigenerational living, extended guests, or private retreats. Soaring tray ceilings, arched architectural details, and walls of glass frame sweeping panoramic lake views throughout the home. The primary living areas and both primary suites were intentionally designed to embrace the waterfront setting, each offering spa-inspired baths, dual closets, and bay window seating areas overlooking the water. Both wings feature formal offices, ensuite bedrooms, generous storage, and dedicated laundry rooms. A flexible bonus space with kitchenette and full ensuite opens directly to the pool terrace, creating the perfect setting for a gym, studio, guest suite, or private retreat. Designed for entertaining on every scale, the outdoor living experience is truly exceptional. A custom saltwater pool with sun shelves, a 9-person spa, full pool bath, and outdoor kitchen sit beneath the expansive screened lanai overlooking the lake. The covered boat dock features a ski boat hoist and filleting station, while a second dock accommodates kayaks or jet skis and is topped with a sunset bell to celebrate evenings on the water. Adding even more versatility, the detached villa offers approximately 1,200 square feet of guest living space complete with a full kitchen and living quarters, alongside a three-bay garage ideal for boats, jet skis, and recreational storage. An additional 800-square-foot lakefront entertainment space with full bath and double French doors creates endless possibilities for gatherings, retreats, celebrations, or waterfront entertaining. Set within the breathtaking 900-acre Lost River Preserve community, residents enjoy boating, kayaking, trophy bass fishing, and an unmatched connection to nature surrounded by protected shoreline, lakes, and native wildlife including roseate spoonbills, ospreys, and herons. The community also carries a fascinating history as the site of the renowned Leisey Shell Pit fossil discovery, with artifacts now showcased at the nearby Paleo Preserve Fossil Museum. Offering remarkable privacy without sacrificing convenience, this one-of-a-kind estate is located just 35 minutes from Downtown Tampa and within reach of fine dining, luxury shopping, championship sports, and world-class entertainment. A rare opportunity where strength meets serenity and luxury meets nature. Turnkey opportunity - curated furnishings may convey with acceptable terms.
