This home isn’t for the faint of heart, it’s a showstopper. Just under 14,000 ft., 5 buildings, and 13.75 neat & tidy acres in the double-gated enclave of Mills Cove. Thirty minutes to downtown Orlando, less than an hour to the beach, and a 10-minute helicopter ride to the airport, yet you’ll feel like you’re on your country estate.

The quintessential entertainment home radiates quality with a hyper-luxe moment around every bend. The undeniable quality of this developer’s personal dream home is evident from the moment you cross the threshold into the 2014 Parade of Homes Custom Showcase GRAND AWARD WINNER by Hill Gray Seven’s Gregg Hill. Set back an acre, guests are greeted in neo-colonial style, with the pomp & circumstance one expects for heads of state.

Travel around from either gate to the front stone entry or round either corner to the property edges. Then head back to the two-bedroom guest cottage with stable beyond, or (on the other side) past the sports complex, tennis, pickleball, and basketball courts to the stables. Saunter in from the grande front portico, and you’ll be transported to an era when hospitality, ease, and decorum were to be expected.

Once inside, you’ll be warmly welcomed by a two-story entrance gallery flanked by (4) 13′ double-arched custom mirrored niches. To the left is the two-story wood-paneled study and fireplace with a separate entry, a British-inspired sports pub/trophy room, and a powder room with hand-laid marble mosaic tiles. Head right, and you’ll find the Fibonacci-esque spiraling staircase anchored by the game-playing studio.

Entertainment meets unencumbered formality. The grande living room, fireplace, and hearth are opposite the kitchen with a triple-thick rockface-edged slab and a 12’x16′ kitchen continent. Sweeping views of the resort-sized aquatic playground lie just beyond. Adjacent to the kitchen are breakfast and wine tasting rooms, a showcase pantry, craft room, second powder room, mud room, and even a doggy bathroom (with shower, separate tub, washer/dryer, and pup potty access).

The sunroom hosts formal dining and a music conservatory anchored by its weighty brick fireplace and hearth. Upstairs, the primary bedroom includes a faux turf deck for lounging, improving your putting game, or surveilling your dominion. The primary bath is a work of art with hand-laid leaf marble mosaic tile harkening back to the 11th-century Moorish Maallem craftsmen.

There are also three en-suite bedrooms, a bunkhouse, billiards room, home theatre, and two additional turfed decks. A third-story bonus room provides space for everyone to “do their thing.” A second staircase provides additional access and flow. The pool accommodates your entire guest list, while a sunken summer kitchen and swim-up bar serve meals under sunny skies or “sur la nuit étoilée.”

A two-bedroom guest cottage with a kitchen and fireplace keeps guests comfortable and well-accommodated. The fitness studio overlooks the pool and tennis courts, and the tennis viewing platform easily seats 12. The freestanding yoga/dance studio adjoins the tennis courts, while the al fresco lounging patio provides an ideal vantage point to watch a good match.

The payoff for a good workout is a relaxing aromatherapy steam shower. The five-stall aisle barn and tack room is immaculate, with grooming stations, a trainer’s studio apartment, and a full-length hayloft/storage area. The paddock for turning out or a mange and the cleared acreage behind the stables can be used for riding, establishing an orchard, or both.

Familiar and comfortable, even the deer feel relaxed here, meandering without hesitation. So will you. Broker is a licensed real estate agent. MLS details to be verified by the buyer.
