SECLUDED LAKEFRONT CREATION ~ An Extraordinary Spanish Mediterranean residence planned with family gatherings and social events in mind. Designed by internationally known architect John B Scholz and custom built in 2002, this EXCLUSIVE LAKEFRONT ESTATE extends 18 acres offering essential privacy throughout the property. A private gated entrance sets the atmosphere while you meander one-fifth mile down a winding driveway through acres of fenced pastures before arriving at the circular entrance of this Spanish Masterpiece. Greeted by a pecky-cypress double door entry, the spattering of water flowing through the Portofino fountain in the foyer sets the stage for what lies within. Tuscan columns flank the archways exiting the cylindrical foyer leading to formal living/dining areas or the spacious master suite. While terracotta tile flows fluently throughout the main living areas, tongue & groove cypress ceilings establish a warm welcoming feeling.

A fully functional wet bar adjacent to the formal living/dining areas is equipped with a refrigerator & ice machine.
