A Private Tropical Estate Unlike Anything Else on the Market Hidden behind a gated entrance on nearly half an acre, this extraordinary tropical estate offers a rare blend of resort-inspired living, privacy, and timeless character. From the moment you enter, your eyes are drawn through the home breathtaking views of lush botanical gardens, a spectacular waterfall pool, and a charming gazebo surrounded by mature tropical landscaping. Designed to evoke the feeling of a private luxury resort, the property features winding garden promenades, tranquil outdoor living spaces, and an impressive collection of exotic fruit trees, creating an atmosphere that feels worlds away while remaining close to everything. Offering 4 bed, 2 bath and over 2,700 sf of construction, the residence has been thoughtfully updated while preserving its unique personality. The oversized climate-controlled garage, private RV parking, and generous open space provide exceptional flexibility for future expansion, guest accommodations. Recent improvements include impact windows and doors, a newer roof, updated air conditioning system and ductwork, underground electrical service, refinished pool, fresh interior and exterior paint, and numerous additional enhancements that make this home truly move-in ready. With parking for more than 10 vehicles and endless opportunities for entertaining, this is more than a home—it's a private sanctuary where every day feels like a vacation.
