Virtually Staged. A PRIVATE LAKEFRONT ESTATE ON PRISTINE LAKE MILLS. Hidden beyond a winding 700-foot gated drive, this extraordinary property offers a compelling combination of privacy, acreage and direct lakefront living on the crystal-clear, spring-fed waters of Lake Mills, one of Central Florida's premier private recreational ski lakes. Set along the shoreline of Lake Mills, the property encompasses approximately 7.09 total acres, with the parcel boundary continuing beyond the shoreline into the lake. A survey illustrating the full property boundaries is available for review. Designed to embrace its remarkable setting, the custom residence captures panoramic water views while offering the scale and flexibility for both everyday living and memorable entertaining. Inside, soaring 24-foot coffered ceilings, stacked-stone architectural details and rich pecan wood flooring create a striking sense of arrival. The expansive family room with stone fireplace opens to the lakefront setting, while a formal dining room and private office provide beautifully defined spaces. The chef's kitchen features imported Taj Mahal stone, custom cabinetry, flush built-in refrigeration, dual ovens and sinks, and a generous center island positioned to take advantage of the waterfront views.

Virtually Staged. A REMARKABLE PRIVATE LAKEFRONT ESTATE ON PRISTINE LAKE MILLS. Offering a combination of privacy, waterfront, acreage and versatility that is increasingly difficult to find in Central Florida, this extraordinary property brings together a custom lakefront residence and adjoining vacant lakefront parcel with approximately 296 feet of combined frontage on Lake Mills. Set along the shoreline of Lake Mills, the two contiguous parcels encompass approximately 15.06 total acres, with the parcel boundaries continuing beyond the shoreline into the lake. Surveys illustrating the full property boundaries are available for review. Hidden beyond a winding 700-foot gated drive, the custom residence and existing improvements are situated on the approximately 7.09-acre lakefront homesite, while the adjoining approximately 7.97-acre vacant lakefront parcel adds approximately 152 feet of waterfront and another dimension to the property. Together, the two parcels provide exceptional separation from neighboring properties and the flexibility to preserve the setting, enjoy the estate as it exists today, or explore future possibilities subject to applicable zoning and approvals. The custom residence was designed around its spectacular lakefront setting, with panoramic water views, soaring 24-foot coffered ceilings, stacked-stone architectural details and rich pecan wood flooring. An expansive family room with stone fireplace, formal dining room and private office complement a chef's kitchen featuring imported Taj Mahal stone, custom cabinetry, flush built-in refrigeration, dual ovens and sinks, and an oversized center island overlooking the water. The first floor primary suite enjoys unobstructed lake views, while an additional main-level bedroom and full bath provide flexibility for guests or multigenerational living. Generously proportioned en-suite bedrooms offer privacy throughout the residence. Outdoor living is equally compelling. Expansive covered entertaining spaces and a summer kitchen overlook the grounds and lake, complemented by a gazebo and 100+ foot dock with a 23+ foot boat lift and dual jet ski lifts. From boating and water skiing to wakeboarding, paddleboarding and fishing, Lake Mills becomes an extension of the property itself. A substantial detached barn and recreation building adds another layer of versatility. Currently configured for equestrian use with four stalls and four paddocks/pastures, its poured-concrete construction, spray foam insulation, climate-controlled areas and existing infrastructure lend themselves to numerous possibilities—from continued equestrian use or collector car space to a golf simulator and sports lounge, fitness studio, executive workspace, workshop or private recreation retreat.

Recent improvements include a brand-new slate roof (2026) and hurricane-rated double-pane windows and doors (2023). Convenient to Oviedo, UCF, major expressways, Downtown Orlando and Orlando International Airport, the estate feels remarkably removed while remaining connected to Central Florida. For the buyer seeking privacy, recreational lakefront, an impressive custom residence, existing equestrian amenities and the added dimension of an adjoining lakefront parcel, this is an offering that would be exceptionally difficult to replicate.

Welcome to a truly special five-acre, fully fenced property in Newberry, where updated living and one-of-a-kind outdoor spaces come together to create a private retreat that is still within easy reach of Gainesville. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers an open, split-bedroom layout that lives larger than expected. Step inside and you will immediately notice how thoughtfully the home has been updated. Luxury vinyl plank flooring and fresh interior paint create a clean, move-in-ready feel, while a custom living room built in and a newly installed ventless fireplace give the living room warmth and character. The renovated kitchen features updated cabinetry, countertops, and newer appliances, and the bathroom finishes have been refreshed. Newer 4 point items are taken care of. The metal roof, HVAC system, water heater, and kitchen appliances were all replaced in 2021, so many of the major improvements have already been handled. Out back is where this property becomes something truly different. A large covered wood porch with an integrated hot tub opens to an additional deck area with plenty of room for relaxing, dining, and entertaining. Just beyond the porch, a hand-built gazebo and two-person swing overlook the fire-pit gathering area, all surrounded by mature plants, established trees, and pristine landscaping. The entire five acres are fenced, with a cross fence and gated opening separating the homesite from approximately three cleared rear acres. That layout creates flexibility for animals, gardening, recreation, or simply enjoying the open space. Three outbuildings add even more function, including a large woodworking workshop with power and water, a former greenhouse now used for storage, an additional storage shed, and a chicken coop, irrigation, a covered carport. All of your practical pieces are already in place. All of this sits in Newberry with convenient access to Tioga, Celebration Pointe, Santa Fe College, the University of Florida, Shands Hospital, and the shopping, dining, healthcare, and entertainment Gainesville has to offer. Properties combining this much usable acreage, extensive outdoor living, serious workshop space, and an updated home are difficult to find at this price point. This is more than a home on five acres. It is a private sanctuary with the space and improvements already in place to make it your own. Schedule a private tour of this immaculate property before it is gone.

Set on 4.2 private acres along the pristine shores of Neff Lake in the highly sought-after Spring Lake community, this extraordinary custom waterfront estate is unlike anything else on the market. Designed and built as the personal residence of a respected local developer and custom home builder, this home was created without compromise, where every construction decision prioritized quality, longevity, functionality, and timeless design over cost. What truly sets this home apart isn't simply what you see—it's what you don't. Behind the beautiful finishes lies a level of construction and infrastructure rarely found in today's custom homes. Built with solid concrete block construction on both the first and second floors, Hardie siding, spray foam insulation, an upgraded insulation package, Trex decking, a full gutter system with underdrains, and multiple 220-volt electrical services, this home was engineered to perform for generations. The supporting infrastructure reflects the same commitment to excellence, including a new well (2024), Culligan whole-house water treatment system, reverse osmosis drinking water, an oversized septic and drain field, seven exterior hose bibs, and an irrigation cistern system designed for efficient property maintenance. Inside, exceptional craftsmanship is evident throughout. Rich wood ceilings, extensive crown molding, solid-core fluted doors, custom cabinetry, built-in bookcases, a striking stone fireplace, elegant Italian tile, and a beautifully appointed wet bar create an atmosphere of refined comfort and understated luxury. Designed to embrace Florida's outdoor lifestyle, the home features an expansive wraparound porch, spacious lakeside deck, covered upper-level balcony, inviting swim spa, and fire-pit terrace overlooking approximately 2,200 feet of breathtaking southern lake views. Watch spectacular sunrises and sunsets, kayak the peaceful waters of Neff Lake, observe abundant native wildlife, or enjoy remarkable stargazing beneath dark skies with minimal light pollution. Approached by approximately 450 feet of wooded privacy, this exceptional property offers a peaceful country setting without sacrificing convenience. With no HOA and zoning that allows horses and chickens, owners enjoy the freedom to create the lifestyle they've always envisioned. More than a luxury home, this is a thoughtfully engineered legacy estate built to standards that are exceptionally difficult—and extraordinarily expensive—to replicate today. Opportunities to own a property of this caliber are exceedingly rare. See Builder's Notes and Features Sheet in the attachments.

Virtually Staged. The Estate at Markham Woods. Set behind private electronic gates and a guarded entry, a rare sense of arrival unfolds across more than seven acres of secluded, high and dry landscape in the heart of Markham Woods. Here, architecture, land, and infrastructure converge to create something far beyond a residence, a fully realized, multi generational compound designed for those who value ultimate security, complete privacy, and a deeply personal expression of luxury living. This is not simply a home. It is a sanctuary. The main residence, spanning nearly 18,000 total square feet with over 11,000 square feet under air, is a study in European inspired elegance and enduring craftsmanship. Six bedrooms and ten baths are thoughtfully arranged to balance grand scale entertaining with intimate, everyday living. A sweeping staircase, private elevator, and curated architectural moments create a sense of quiet sophistication, while spaces like the library, gym, spa retreat, and hidden garden offer a more personal rhythm of life. Beyond the main residence, the estate reveals itself as a true compound. A fully independent guest house, a private cottage ideal for staff or extended family, and a climate controlled car barn with soaring ceilings create a layered environment where generations can gather, yet remain entirely self contained. Whether hosting, retreating, or simply living, every structure has been designed with purpose and discretion. Security here is not an afterthought, it is foundational. A guard house with full amenities, integrated systems, data infrastructure, multiple generators, this offers a sense of confidence and continuity. This is a property built not only for comfort, but for resilience. A private helipad further elevates both security and accessibility, offering a seamless connection to business, leisure, and global travel. Outdoors, the estate transforms into a private resort environment. Multiple pools, spa experiences, expansive lawns, and curated gathering spaces create an atmosphere equally suited for large scale entertaining or quiet family moments. Even the youngest members of the household are considered, with playful elements woven seamlessly into the landscape, reinforcing the estate’s identity as a true family legacy property. And yet, despite its complete seclusion, the estate remains remarkably connected. Within minutes, you are positioned at the center of everything that defines Central Florida living. Downtown Orlando, the region’s top private and public schools, and the area’s most important roadways including the I-4 express lanes are all easily accessible. Orlando International Airport, Orlando Executive Airport, and Sanford International Airport provide effortless travel options, while world class golf, the Dr. Phillips Performing Arts Center, Kia Center, Camping World Stadium, and Inter and Co Stadium place culture and entertainment within immediate reach. The beaches and theme parks are equally within your orbit, close enough for spontaneity, yet far enough to preserve the estate’s sense of calm. This is the rare balance. A property where one can live completely private, completely secure, and completely immersed in luxury, while remaining connected to everything that matters. For those seeking not just a home, but a generational legacy compound defined by discretion, scale, and intention, this is a singular opportunity in Central Florida.
