Real Estate Companies Venice, FL

Tucked beneath the trees on a rare 1.4-acre homesite with dedicated access to a private 85-acre ski LAKE, this extraordinary AUTHENTIC cypress log estate is unlike anything else on the market in Central Florida using traditional techniques, yet thoughtfully planned for Florida conditions. From the moment you arrive, the home feels more like a private Smoky Mountain retreat than a Florida residence, blending authentic lodge-style craftsmanship with the convenience of being just minutes from charming downtown Sanford. Constructed with authentic 6-inch cypress logs using saddle-notch construction and lag screw fastening approximately every 18 inches, this remarkable residence showcases an incredible level of craftsmanship and structural detail rarely found in today’s construction. Elevated stem wall and support pier foundation construction, soaring timber-framed ceilings, expansive covered porches, and substantial custom masonry detailing create a level of architectural character that is extraordinarily difficult and costly to reproduce. Inside, the dramatic great room immediately captures attention with soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, spectacular floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and warm wood finishes throughout. Expansive DOUBLE PANE windows & multiple French doors flood the home with natural light while seamlessly connecting the interior spaces to the sprawling covered porches & peaceful wooded surroundings. The spacious kitchen overlooks the main gathering areas & offers abundant cabinetry, breakfast bar seating, stainless steel appliances, & the open-concept design perfectly suited for entertaining. Rich 3/4-inch tongue-and-groove red oak flooring flows throughout much of the home, complementing the natural warmth and timeless appeal of the log construction. The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat atmosphere with direct porch access & serene natural views. Upstairs, a beautiful open catwalk overlooks the breathtaking great room below & leads to two extremely generous guest bedrooms and a full bath, creating the perfect setup for guests, home offices, hobby spaces, or private retreats. The upstairs bedrooms also feature additional storage areas, & throughout the home you will find an absolutely incredible amount of closet/storage rarely found in homes of any style. Additional features include 2021 ROOF, DOUBLE-PANE windows and doors, GAS heat, gas appliances and convection oven, outdoor gas grill connection, Rinnai tankless water heater, irrigation system, and security system. Outside, the setting is equally special. MASSIVE covered porches FRONT & BACK invite morning coffee, evening gatherings, and year-round enjoyment of the private surroundings. With NO HOA, there is ample room for boats, RVs, recreational toys, workshops, & future possibilities. The property also includes dedicated access to a private ski lake, offering an incredibly rare lifestyle opportunity! This gorgeousness is located just minutes from charming brick-paved Downtown Sanford filled with preserved historic buildings, incredible dining, boutiques, festivals, live entertainment, and endless local charm. Ride your golf cart to Downtown Sanford and enjoy sunsets along Lake Monroe, waterfront parks, shopping, world-class breweries, and amazing dining. Excellent location with quick access to the 417, shopping, dining, and close proximity to Sanford International Airport, Lake Mary/Oviedo/Orlando. This gorgeous home is truly a one-of-a-kind gem!!
