WOW! Price reduction! Custom Mediterranean home & pond on three lush acres of Florida foliage & wildlife. A gated courtyard & stained-glass windows hint at spectacular architectural detail found beyond the front door. An open wrought-iron & wood staircase leads up to a balcony overlooking two stunning rooms. In every direction, the design is not lost...w/the hand-crafted pine ceiling planks impressively lining vaulted ceilings when looking up...to the sheer grand size of the space and brick-walled, wood-burning natural fireplace that distinguishes the living space from that of the dining...or the Mediterranean arches aligning the high-wall giving passages to the kitchen/dinette on the first floor & three bedrooms on the second. A fourth bedroom/office is also located on the first floor. The grandeur of the home's bones though is still not a match for the fantastic world that is beyond the home's structure. Through the sliding doors, the screened lanai & pool beckons to venture outdoors to experience flora/ fauna that is native to Florida but also exotic palms, plants & bamboo found around the globe. A clear-water pond is stocked w/fish, & there are two large Koi ponds extending from beyond the pool. A child's play house overlooks the pond & multiple work/storage buildings align a pine-straw path meandering back to a canal. Updating needs to be done...but the beauty of the parcel & the architectural design of the structure will make any efforts an opportunity for creating a one-of-a-kind forever home.
