Nestled in the shade of beautiful Live Oak trees, this elegant home was designed and built by renowned custom home builder Marshall Bone for his private residence. With thoughtful site preparation, this home is perfectly positioned to take advantage of its natural surroundings bringing panoramic views into every room of the house.
As you step through the double glass front doors into the spacious main living area, you are surrounding by sweeping views to the east and west. Over the rolling front pasture, you’ll enjoy watching the wildlife as well as sunrises, moonrises and Cape Canaveral launches. To the west, the seemingly endless view of Lake Dias is framed by the old pines, oaks and cypress trees on the far shore.
The large kitchen shares in the lake views and boasts plenty of granite counter space, stainless steel appliances and a cozy dining or seating area for family and friends to gather. The south wing of the home houses 3 additional bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a large laundry room and a 6x9’ storage closet that is fully plumbed for a 4th bathroom should you chose. At the far end is the 1,000 square foot 3 car garage. There is also a separate storage/workshop building with water and electricity.
Located on the north end of the home, the primary suite was designed as a true private retreat. The library/office has views up the driveway and into the pasture and double doors that open to the bedroom. The bedroom has 12 feet of sliding glass doors that showcase the 20x40 saltwater pool. Step outside under the bougainvillea covered pergola to your own private zen garden where hummingbirds and butterflies come to play in the carefully cultivated garden. The master bath boasts a deep soaking tub set up against a large picture window with up close views of the butterfly garden and distant views of the lake. Imagine watching the winter sun sink into the horizon while soaking away the cares of the world!
Across the southern lawn, the pool house has over 500 square feet of covered porch where you can host large holiday or weekend gatherings. Inside the pool house is a large studio/bedroom with a wet bar, large bathroom and a separate laundry/pool dressing room. All of the windows are impact rated glass, the roof has additional tie down straps and there is a 12kw generator that comes on automatically when the power goes out. A 250 gallon propane tank provides connections for a gas grill or stove and the gas tankless water heater.
As you make your way down to the lake you will see plenty of wildlife along the 223 feet of shoreline. The anhinga, herons, cranes, hawks and limpkins are daily visitors. Over 90’ of boardwalk leads to the dock with a screened in porch with water and electric in place if you desire a wet bar or fish cleaning station. Bring your boat (lift motor and cables were replaced in 2022). Enjoy swimming, paddleboading and skiing knowing that Lake Dias is one of the cleanest lakes in the St John’s River Water Management District. Two steady runs feed the lake with clean fresh water and the lake quietly drains through a small creek on the eastern shore providing a consistent water level.
Whether you chose to make this your personal retreat or work from home in a tranquil setting, don’t miss this opportunity to own this one of a kind paradise.
