Description

Situated on over two and a half acres, this privately gated, modern lakefront estate embodies the stylistic values of California Mission Architecture set along the picturesque, spring-fed waters of Lake Ola in historic Mount Dora. Spanning almost 5,000 square feet, the property encompasses the main house, guest house/cottage, and an air-conditioned detached garage converted into a resort-style gym. The main estate features two primary suites, two bedrooms, three full baths and a half bath. The cottage includes two bedrooms, one full bath and features a living room, kitchenette and covered porch for taking in the serenity of the landscape. Upon entering the security gate, the paved drive past the cottage to the main estate is lined with majestic palms, crape myrtles, magnolias, massive live oaks and citrus trees which are illuminated nightly with LED lighting. Originally built in 1959 by Mercury engineer and Swift boat founder, Joe Swift, the two-story main estate underwent renovations in 2017 to include a new Sante Fe Natural Clay tile roof, Anderson Architectural Series windows and doors, oak hardwood flooring as well as bathroom remodels. Most recently in 2022, a significant renovation ensued to bring the breathtaking, sunset vistas of Lake Ola to the home’s main floor by artfully opening-up the floorplan. Modern furnishings and features now highlight each and every space throughout the home. Recent additions to the gourmet kitchen include new quartz countertops, a large island with additional cabinets to compliment the new 48” Wolf dual gas range, new commercial grade Subzero refrigerator, built-in Miele espresso machine, under cabinet and floor lighting, all new lighting fixtures, and a gorgeous modern backsplash. Steps away from the gourmet kitchen, the customized temperature-controlled wine cellar will impress any wine enthusiast. A secondary entrance for the main home provides direct access to the newly renovated oversized mudroom and laundry space. Rounding out the features of the property is the expansive open patio and private boat dock with a 484 square foot boathouse, enclosed with a wet bar and plenty of room to entertain. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience tranquil lakefront living and the Florida luxury lifestyle this extraordinary property has to offer. Schedule your private showing today!
