Description

~ 16+ BOTANICAL ACRES BETWEEN TWO RIVERS ~ A private landscape estate framed by the Indian River and Banana River! Majestic canopy oaks, elevated terrain, and carefully stewarded grounds create a private landscape of uncommon distinction. Set along Tropical Trail on Merritt Island, this gated, walled, and secluded estate encompasses approximately 505 feet of frontage on the Indian River and 490 feet on the Banana River. Four ponds adorned with water lilies and a private sandy beach further enrich a setting defined by privacy and direct access to two distinct waterfront environments. Completed in 2020 and purposefully positioned at approximately 11 feet above sea level, the 10,614-square-foot main residence is complemented by a detached 1,135-square-foot guest house connected by a covered breezeway, a 4,582-square-foot nine-car garage with solid mahogany doors, and a historic circa-1890 farmhouse. Together, the improvements are thoughtfully integrated into the landscape, creating a property that feels both substantial and deeply connected to its surroundings. The residence showcases carefully selected materials and finishes from around the world, including large-format limestone flooring throughout the main level, hardwood floors and a handcrafted staircase, custom Murano chandeliers, imported Moroccan zellige tile, Amazônia tile sourced from Mallorca, a substantial coral stone fireplace, and a custom mahogany entertainment bar. Smart-home technology, integrated audio and lighting systems, Andersen impact-rated windows and doors, and a whole-home generator reflect the same attention to detail found throughout the estate. Designed as the heart of the home, the kitchen balances professional-grade performance with everyday functionality. Features include Sub-Zero refrigeration, a BlueStar French oven and 60-inch Platinum Series gas range, a Galley workstation sink, a built-in Miele espresso system, and an integrated workspace. Equally suited to intimate family meals and large gatherings, the space supports the home's seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Expansive sliding glass doors and retractable screens dissolve the boundary between the kitchen, family room, and covered outdoor living area, creating a unified space overlooking the ponds, the Indian River, and surrounding wildlife. Anchored by a whitewashed brick fireplace, the outdoor living area serves as a favored gathering place during Florida's cooler months. Defined by two very different waterfront experiences, the estate enjoys both the shallow, wildlife-rich waters of the Banana River, which also provides an impressive rocket launch vantage point, and deep-water boating access along the Indian River. Days may begin with kayaking, paddleboarding, or birdwatching along the Banana River and conclude with boating and uninterrupted sunset views along the Indian River shoreline. More than a home, this is a private waterfront estate shaped by enduring craftsmanship and thoughtful stewardship. It possesses a singular sense of place. ~ WELCOME HOME ~
