Originally built by Mark Timothy Inc. in 2003 and designed by Marc Michaels, the two-story estate, with tropical grounds manicured and landscaped to perfection, recalls a lavish villa along the French Riviera. Exquisite interior details only add to the drama. The formal living room features soaring ceilings and a two-story, wood-paneled fireplace with onyx inlay; a second living room boasts a pecky cypress ceiling and a sit-down, granite-topped wet bar. An entire main-floor wing is devoted to the master suite, which opens to a private loggia overlooking the lake. The wing also includes an exercise room, separate his and her baths, and separate custom-designed closets (including a designer accessory island, shoe backlighting and a private courtyard window in her closet). Marble countertops, custom stone flooring and state-of-the-art appliances are among the highlights in a gourmet chef's kitchen with an oversized island and butler's pantry. Nearby is a brick, temperature-controlled wine room that conjures images of a Tuscan cellar flowing with vintage selections. Another highlight of the main floor: a two-story library with exquisite millwork, built-in bookcases on both levels and a hidden spiral staircase. Along with the four additional bedrooms (each with marble baths, separate soaking tubs and lakeside balconies), the second floor features a private clubroom with a media lounge, billiards table, full-service bar and poker table area. The adventure continues outdoors with spaces perfectly rendered for entertaining, starting with a sweeping wraparound loggia and brick terrace. A resort-style lagoon pool and waterfall spa, beautifully encased by lush green foliage, offer privacy without diminishing the lakeside views.
