Welcome to Villa Venecia, a privately gated lakefront estate set amidst two lakes within the exclusive gated community of the Isles of Lake Hancock. With 6 bedrooms, 6 full and 3 half baths and 8552 sq ft (12,391 total), this extraordinary Mediterranean masterpiece showcases only the finest craftsmanship and materials, exuding opulence in every detail. Beyond the private electric driveway gates, distinctive verdant landscaping lines the long travertine driveway. Built by Dave Brewer, Villa Venecia is nestled along the southern shoreline of Lake Hancock within an enclave of custom-built lakefront homes, ideally situated on pristine shoreline frontage with the lake’s most expansive water views. At the entry, the handcrafted rustic mahogany and wrought iron doors open to polished travertine floors enhanced by a tile mosaic, flowing to a remarkable picture window where the infinity edge pool blends to long, dreamy lake vistas that invite. Sensational choice Italian original paintings by local artist Joel Cook adorn the entrance, theater ceiling and entrance, wine room, outdoor spa, and kitchen range hood. The Kitchen includes two custom-paneled Sub-Zero refrigerators with four freezer drawers, three Miele dishwashers, an industrial Wolfe range, and a large hidden pantry. All main floor living areas and second floor balcony look out to the infinity pool and spa, surrounded by expansive covered outdoor living areas, complete with an outdoor kitchen, tv, and fireplace. The exquisite main floor master wing includes a morning kitchen and opens to the poolside oasis overlooking the lake. The wine cellar is accessed from the extravagant formal dining room. The ten-seat theater is accessed from the kitchen and is equipped with a 5’x8.5’ screen and cinematic motifs, maintains the rich elements of the residence. The main floor gym can be accessed from within or separately and includes outside showers. The large game room features a beamed, tongue-and-groove cathedral ceiling, includes its own bar, and opens through sliding glass doors to the outdoor living area. The entire pool deck area is surfaced by natural stone and offers stunning lake views. With TWO lakes—and docks—the custom dock and boathouse on Lake Hancock and the boathouse, deck and dock on the adjacent private man-made water ski lake, Villa Venecia avails the very best opportunities to fully enjoy Florida lake life. Lake Hancock is a chain of three lakes, pristine waters with miles of shoreline for boating, and is paradise for fishing and all water sports. For water ski enthusiasts, one of only 15 memberships to the exclusive Isles of Lake Hancock Ski Club is available to access the world-famous man-made water ski lake across the street–with an additional large private boathouse as part of the membership. Many top golf courses are nearby, including Isleworth, Keene’s Pointe, Disney, Orange County National, The Four Seasons, and West Orange. Shopping conveniences at Hamlin are only minutes away, and the Hamlin town center plans include docks for water access to restaurants, shops and a movie theater. All only minutes from downtown Winter Garden, Windermere, Disney and the world famous attractions of Orlando.
