**HUGE PRICE REDUCTION!!!!** Very unique and custom home set among the banks of the peaceful Hillsborough River . We are pleased to present for sale "The Villa Tortuga"----the turtle sanctuary. This is an artistically inspired home. The original and only owner first saw one like it, in Latin America, right on the Pacific, and made many sketches to build his dream home. Years later he purchased the lot on the River (an essential is a view of the water), and worked with an architect, on the final design. It has an open welcoming atrium, to set the mood of open space, with a sky roof letting the Florida sunshine in. The first sculpture we see: the spiral staircase leading to second level. There is an eclectic mix of the classic 18th century architecture, as in the cathedral entrance, with the more modern, Bauhaus style created in Germany in the 1930s to represent all things modern, minimalist, and emphasis on white. Truly this is a family home! It needs such a family again, as in let the cycle repeat itself. It is also a party home. Great for entertaining. The owners have had as many as 125 people at one party. The home also features large fishing dock, circular drive way, side entry garage, screened pool and spa with lovely decking and remodeled kitchen. Great views of the Hillsborough River throughout the home with large windows. What a great place to call home. Make time today to view this wonderful home!
