Culinary Artist. Performer. Hobbyist. Swimmer. Horticulturist. Auto Enthusiast. Host. However you define your passions, this extraordinary residence rises to meet them with effortless sophistication. A truly distinctive, custom-built masterpiece, this home is set on a private, lush, tropical 1+ acre oasis in beautiful Hidden Forest - a secluded sanctuary that feels worlds away, yet is only minutes from University Town Center, Lakewood Ranch, Jessica's Famous Farmstand, and Nathan Benderson Park. This property offers exceptional privacy, refined luxury, and thoughtful accommodations for every lifestyle, including a paver pad with 50-amp service for your boat or RV and two separate two-car garages - one brand new and oversized with abundant storage and lift installation capability. Designed with a luxurious multi-level open floor plan, the home balances grand-scale entertaining with intimate everyday comfort. The completely remodeled chef's kitchen, at a cost over $100k, is a showpiece, appointed with quartz countertops, a generous center island, pantry, wet bar, and premium Thermador, Miele and Frigidaire Professional appliances purchased in 2021. A steam oven, warming drawer, five foot wide refrigerator and a dual fuel 6 burner range (gas top and electric range) elevate the culinary experience. The formal dining and living rooms are equally impressive, with a built-in projector and screen for private cinematic evenings. A spacious family room anchored by a wood/gas-burning fireplace creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere. A dedicated bonus room - currently an arts and crafts studio - offers limitless flexibility, while a private office with custom built-in desks and closet provides an elegant work-from-home retreat. Outdoors, the expansive covered lanai is designed for refined entertaining, complete with a fully equipped summer kitchen and a striking saltwater pool adorned with tranquil waterfalls and fountains, all set against serene preserve views. Meticulous attention to detail continues throughout the home, including more than 10 skylights, a new roof (2025), on demand hot water systen (2026), all new hurricane-impact windows installed in 2023 (excluding sliders), and new A/C units installed in 2022. Additional enhancements include 400-amp electrical service, custom landscape lighting, illuminated dimmer switches and ceiling fans throughout. The mid-level entertainment lounge is ideal for billiards or cards, while the upper level is reserved for restful privacy. The grand primary suite is complemented by a conveniently located laundry room and opens through a sliding barn door to a spa-inspired bath of European elegance. Features include a freestanding soaking tub, dual vanities with Calacatta marble countertops, bespoke finishes, and a dramatic walk-in shower illuminated by a skylight and appointed with a rain showerhead and therapeutic body jets. A private morning kitchen with coffee station, wine cooler, and additional cabinetry completes this serene retreat. This is more than a home - it is a refined estate designed to elevate every pursuit.
