The Builder’s Personal Home — Lake Seneca, Florida Set on over 6.5 acres along the shores of Lake Seneca, this is one of the most unique and compelling settings in Central Florida—surrounded by farms and wetlands, offering a rare level of privacy, natural beauty, and sunsets that simply cannot be duplicated. Accessed by traveling down a private lane, through your own gated entrance, and crossing over a bridge, the approach alone sets the tone for what lies beyond. Close your eyes as the gate opens, and you’d swear you were stepping into the mountains of North Carolina. 5,014 sq ft living 8,603 sq ft under roof 5 bedrooms | 5.5 baths 3 fireplaces Designed with flexibility in mind, the layout is ideal for generational living, with distinct spaces that allow for privacy without sacrificing connection. Upstairs features its own family room, wet bar, balcony, and private laundry, along with two en-suite bedrooms—each offering full baths and stunning lake views. The home is equipped with three separate HVAC systems, each servicing different zones for efficiency and comfort, along with three tankless propane water heaters to ensure continuous hot water throughout. A 36KW whole-house generator, paired with a dedicated 500-gallon propane tank, provides peace of mind and uninterrupted power when it matters most. The level of finish reflects a true builder’s residence: Three-piece crown molding in main areas, crown throughout, 7¼-inch baseboards, and solid 8-foot interior doors. The owner’s suite is thoughtfully designed with his-and-hers walk-in closets and its own dedicated laundry room—one of three laundry rooms in the home, including a primary laundry room, owner’s suite laundry, and upstairs laundry. All three fireplaces are wood-burning capable with gas log conversions, offering both ambiance and functionality. Car enthusiasts and hobbyists will appreciate the 4-car garage on the main house, complete with built-in cabinetry, along with a 30x40 detached garage featuring a car lift—bringing total capacity to 8 vehicles, plus 2 more on the lift. Outdoor living is on another level with a double-tier heated pool and spa, featuring a grotto with water feature and water slide, along with fire stumps that create one of the most unique and inviting outdoor environments you’ll find anywhere. Leaving the pool area and heading toward the lake, you’ll walk down a beautiful paver walkway, passing the fire pit—the kind of place where lifelong family memories are made. The property also includes a boathouse with metal roof, lift, and Trex decking, perfectly positioned for true lakefront living. Additional features include a security system, perimeter exterior bug misting system, and a full suite of Thermador appliances. Select furnishings are negotiable and may convey, offering a potential turnkey opportunity.
