Florida real estate rarely puts care into the styles they are aping. 30 some-odd years of mass produced suburbia has numbed the senses that go off when someone smashes together two different column styles, creates a roofline that looks like a stock market index or aims for Italian villa and lands somewhere in an Olive Garden parking lot.
It's like waking up to see the real thing, a home someone took care to get right. That's exactly what this villa along the Indian River did, transporting the Mediterranean to the heart of stucco swamp. This 30-room home is built around a gorgeous central courtyard and sits on acres that include river frontage and private orchards. Tiled fountains and ornate kitchens and bathrooms maintain the illusion. Koi ponds, tennis courts and grand lawns are scattered throughout the grounds and a massive wine cellar is ready to keep your guests happy.
The listing is represented by Bonnie Endrick of Coldwell Banker Realty. The seller is asking for just shy of $11 million.
