Convenient to everything, it’s a close drive to Ocala—a horse-lover’s destination—and the fantastic amenities of Orlando, Disney World, and an international airport.
Authentically designed and entirely handcrafted, the main home is a true piece of art.
Inspired by her time studying the artists of old—in a small town of Urbino, Italy—the designer wanted to build a space that was never far from the joys of being outside.
Every area of this retreat overlooks one of the 3 inviting and charming courtyards that compel you to appreciate all that the outdoors offer.
Exploring inside of this masterpiece, you will find that the designer painstakingly sought out genuine materials and original pieces of art—from all over the world—that are thoughtfully placed in virtually every room of the home.
In fact, WHEREVER you wander, there is a story to be told.
It might be the EXTRAORDINARY kitchen with its copper sinks, and the travertine pavers that were each hand-crafted by 1 artisan over several years with flawless craftsmanship.
Or it could be the designer’s favorite space—a wine cellar that would excite any wine connoisseur. As you open the time-worn, wooden door your eyes are immediately drawn down the stone-formed passage. Your view of the centerpiece—an original depiction of the Palazzo Ducale castle in Urbino, Italy—was actually brought over when she traveled back to the states.
Perhaps you enjoy entertaining guests on a grand scale.
The central courtyard, with its infinity pool overlooking a quiet lake, 2 vine-enclosed pergolas, and a terraced backyard make for a spacious and stunning setting.
