A rare opportunity to own a 6,200+ sq ft estate on over an acre—perfectly positioned on Hole 1 and enveloped in lush, mature landscaping that creates a private, garden-like sanctuary. Tucked behind a fully fenced setting with beautiful greenery, the property offers a level of privacy rarely found, evoking the feeling of a secluded secret garden retreat within one of Tampa’s most sought after gated communities. From the moment you arrive, the home’s scale and presence are undeniable. Inside, a grand yet inviting layout unfolds with 6 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and a collection of thoughtfully designed living spaces ideal for both elegant entertaining and everyday comfort. Formal living and dining rooms set a refined tone, while the expansive game room with a striking brick fireplace and a dedicated bonus/theater room provide exceptional flexibility for hosting and relaxation. Designed with both functionality and privacy in mind, the home features distinct living wings. The primary wing serves as a true retreat, offering the luxurious owner’s suite along with three additional bedrooms—two connected by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom and one with its own private en suite—creating an ideal configuration for family living. A separate guest wing includes two additional bedrooms joined by a beautifully appointed Jack-and-Jill bathroom, perfectly suited for guests, extended family, or a quiet home office environment. At the heart of the home, the spacious kitchen flows seamlessly into a large family room anchored by a grand brick wood-burning fireplace, creating a warm and welcoming central gathering space. LVP flooring throughout the bedrooms, living room, and family room adds a clean, modern touch while maintaining durability and style. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, highlighted by a fully renovated, spa-inspired bathroom (2023). All guest bathrooms have also been tastefully updated (2023) with timeless finishes, offering a cohesive sense of understated luxury throughout. Step outside to a private resort-style setting where a lagoon-style pool with a dramatic rock waterfall and hot tub serves as the centerpiece of an expansive lanai with over 3000 sq ft of entertaining space.Outside of the lanai is surrounded by mature landscaping and open green space, the backyard is designed for both peaceful relaxation and effortless entertaining. Recent improvements include a new ROOF (2022), three HVAC systems (2022), and a TANKLESS HOT WATER HEATER (2023), providing modern comfort and peace of mind.
