Property Overview

This sprawling Estate in Belleair is an extraordinary Mediterranean villa steeped in history and elegance. Located across the street from the Belleair Country Club Golf Course. The property spans nearly an acre and has been restored to preserve the charm and grandeur of its 1920s origins while incorporating modern updates that ensure comfort and luxury. It was once the home of Lucius Ruder, a key figure in Belleair’s history and the flamboyant mayor during the Depression era. His contributions to the area include donating the beach south of the Clearwater Pier to the city, and his influence is reflected in the estate’s design and the lush gardens he cultivated.
The home’s grand 7,193-square-foot layout exudes old-world charm with rich hardwood floors, hand-painted coved ceilings, terracotta tile floors, and stunning light fixtures. A majestic foyer welcomes guests with custom stained-glass doors, while the expansive living areas—such as the grand room with a stone fireplace and beamed ceiling—are ideal for both large gatherings and intimate moments. The artistic Cuban tile flooring in the recreation room and the extensive Italian-style loggia outside elevate the home’s beauty.

The kitchen is a masterpiece in itself, with a $250,000 redesign featuring top-of-the-line appliances like Wolf ranges and Sub-Zero refrigeration, custom cabinetry, and dual prep areas—ideal for any culinary enthusiast. The home is equipped for both relaxation and entertainment, with multiple courtyards, a gazebo, lush gardens, and a poolside kitchen perfect for year-round gatherings.

The master suite serves as a peaceful retreat with a private lounging area, a spa-like bath with a soaking tub and separate shower, and a walk-in closet with a dressing room. Guests are offered privacy in the guest wing above the garage, which includes two ensuite bedrooms and a rooftop terrace.

The estate is fortified with hurricane-impact windows and doors, ensuring safety and longevity, while the gated motor court and roof replacement in 2019 add to its modern functionality. Situated in an exclusive neighborhood and across the street from Belleair Country Club, while minutes from Clearwater Harbor, and Morton Plant Hospital, the Ruder Estate combines history, luxury, and functionality in one remarkable package.
