THIS ISN’T JUST A LAKE HOUSE,IT’S A LIFESTYLE! From the moment you arrive, you know this property is different. A sweeping drive leads you toward a striking waterfront residence, surrounded by open space with Cherry Lake stretching across the backdrop. Before you ever step inside, there’s already a sense of privacy, presence, and escape. Imagine starting your mornings on the screened balcony as the lake comes to life, coffee in hand and nothing but water and open skies in front of you. By afternoon, head down to your private dock for a day on the water. And when evening comes, return home to watch the sun settle over the lake from your own backyard. Inside, the home was created for living beautifully and entertaining effortlessly. The kitchen anchors the space with an oversized island, custom cabinetry, seamlessly paneled refrigerator, and dedicated bar, creating a natural gathering place for everything from quiet mornings to celebrations with family and friends. Two spacious primary suites offer private retreats, each opening directly to the screened-in balcony overlooking the water. A private elevator adds convenience throughout the home, while thoughtful features—including three A/C units, two tankless water heaters, a fully automatic gas-powered backup generator, tile roof, and lake-fed irrigation system—bring comfort and functionality to the luxury. But what makes this home special can’t be captured by a list of features. It’s the quiet mornings. The waterfront dinners. The boat waiting at your dock. The space to entertain, unwind, and create memories with Cherry Lake as the backdrop. Some homes give you an address. This one gives you a lifestyle.

Price Reduced! Why wait to build when something better already exists? The moment you step through the front door, the question answers itself. A soaring double-height great room commands your full attention — dramatic chandelier overhead, floating staircase with glass railings rising alongside you, walls of windows pulling the Florida landscape into every sightline. This is not a home that slowly reveals itself. It arrives all at once. Set within an exclusive gated community with coveted Chain of Lakes access, this not even one-year-old custom contemporary estate spans just over 7,000 square feet of flawlessly executed living space — designed from the ground up with the kind of intention that simply cannot be replicated at any price point. The chef’s kitchen is a study in contrast and refinement: matte black flat-panel cabinetry trimmed in warm wood slat detail, a waterfall-edge Calacatta marble island, brushed gold fixtures, Café appliances, and a globe pendant chandelier anchoring the adjacent formal dining space. Every surface, every material, every proportion was considered.The primary suite is its own world. Positioned privately on the upper level, it unfolds with wide-plank hardwood flooring, a custom designer accent wall, and a spa bath that belongs in an architectural publication — floor-to-ceiling Calacatta marble enveloping a freestanding soaking tub, frameless glass shower with a built-in bench, and brushed gold fixtures at every turn. A dedicated ensuite laundry room connects seamlessly to the main living areas, while a private lounge and a flex room ideal for a home office or workout studio round out the suite. This is not just a primary bedroom — it is a private residence within the estate, designed for those who understand that true luxury is the freedom to never leave your own floor.Additional bedrooms are equally considered. Each is generously sized with its own ensuite bath and an oversized walk-in closet — thoughtfully laid out for family members and guests alike to enjoy genuine privacy and comfort. A dedicated home theater with tiered recliner seating and a separate media room add yet another layer of intentional living, along with storage throughout that is simply unexpected at every turn.The outdoor living experience rivals anything indoors. A vaulted covered lanai finished with a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone accent wall opens to a full outdoor kitchen and fire pit lounge, all screened and climate-softened with automatic retractable screens. Beyond, a resort-style pool with swim shelf sit beneath a grand screen enclosure — wide travertine surround, lush tropical landscaping, and a permanently open backdrop of serene green parkland. No rear neighbors now. No rear neighbors ever. The fully self-contained guest suite is an estate within the estate — its own full kitchen, living and dining area, in-unit washer and dryer, and private entrance. Ideal for multigenerational living, extended guests, or income-producing opportunity without compromise .All appliances convey. Furnishings available by separate negotiation for a seamless turnkey transition. Forty-five minutes from Orlando International Airport, Walt Disney World, and Central Florida’s premier entertainment corridor. Immediate access to Florida’s Turnpike and Highway 47. A proposed community boat ramp and fishing pier place the full Chain of Lakes at your doorstep. One-of-a-kind.
