The crown jewel of Ladera Estates, this extraordinary residence sits on the largest lakefront lot in the community, offering over 300 feet of pristine shoreline and an unrivaled setting that defines luxury lakefront living. Nestled behind the gates of Ladera, this custom-built estate blends timeless craftsmanship with resort-level amenities to create a lifestyle of elegance, privacy, and indulgence.
From the moment you arrive, the home captivates with its grand presence. Ornate scroll-designed French doors open to a dramatic two-story foyer where natural light pours through a floor-to-ceiling picture window, framing sweeping views of the lake beyond. Rich wood floors, intricate crown molding, tray ceilings, and a striking wrought-iron staircase set the tone for refined living, while a stunning stone fireplace anchors the space with warmth and sophistication.
At the heart of the home lies a chef’s kitchen crafted for those who love to cook and entertain. Outfitted with dual Wolf ranges—one with an integrated grill—double ovens, Sub-Zero refrigeration, Fisher & Paykel dish drawers, and a hidden walk-in pantry complete with a wine fridge, this space is both functional and impressive. The kitchen flows effortlessly into the living room, where brand-new 10-foot impact glass sliders open to reveal a breathtaking outdoor oasis that makes every day feel like a vacation.
Outside, resort-style living takes center stage. The 12-foot-deep, gas-heated pool is a showpiece, featuring a rock waterfall, spa, sun shelf, swim-up dining table, and ambient misters for year-round comfort. The covered lanai offers a full outdoor kitchen, cozy gas fireplace, and a pool bath with a sauna and steam shower, making it the ultimate space for entertaining or unwinding in total privacy.
Upstairs, an expansive game and media lounge provides the perfect gathering space with a new projector and screen, a built-in bar with mounted TVs that convey, and a private balcony overlooking the lake and pool. A gas fireplace adds ambiance, and a spiral staircase connects the balcony directly to the outdoor living area below.
The primary suite is a serene escape, featuring oversized bay windows that capture panoramic lake and pool views. A romantic double-sided fireplace separates the bedroom from a tranquil sitting area, while the spa-inspired ensuite bath indulges with marble finishes, dual vanities, a deep soaking tub, and an oversized shower with four shower heads and a built-in bench. Each additional bedroom offers a private ensuite bath and walk-in closet, ensuring comfort and privacy for family and guests alike. A large office with French glass doors provides the perfect remote workspace, and the home is finished with plantation shutters and elegant millwork throughout.
Practical upgrades elevate the home even further, including a new roof (2020), whole-house surround sound that extends to the lanai and pool, new exterior lighting, two recently replaced pool pumps, and a comprehensive security system with cameras that convey with the property.
Blending craftsmanship, comfort, and an unparalleled setting, this remarkable home stands as one of the most distinctive properties in all of Lutz. With its commanding lakefront presence and resort-style amenities, it redefines luxury living in Ladera Estates—a true masterpiece ready to be called home.
