This inspired journey begins through a private gated entrance leading to the main house. Enter from the expansive craftsperson installed seat walled and pavered front patio that looks out over a tropical tree grove. Arrive in the split plan home to a light filled, tile floored living space that affords groupings of social spaces. Primary suite bath is completely updated and shares a hall with the walk-in closet. Two spacious bedrooms and a shared full bathroom are on the other side of the living space. Step down into an elongated dining room with gas fireplace and built-in bookcase. The wood cabinet and granite topped kitchen within easy serving reach of dining room offers Thermador cooktop and built-in oven with breakfast bar and only a sliding glass door away from the extensive, screened pool lanai. Attached private in-law suite with updated kitchenette and bath, private gate and driveway, and front porch provides lodging for guests, family, or tenants. Rectangular, generously sized saltwater and solar heated pool, graduated to 8' depth (a depth that cannot be replicated today), make up only part of the lanai space that it shares with the pool cabana and free-standing spa. A large solar array and a 30kw generator, fueled with propane, offer alternative and backup power. The rear acreage biophilic treasure blossoms on the pavered, landscaped tropical palm tree allee leading to the outdoor kitchen/dining/tiki bar with seating for 8+ and ability to grill, bake, refrigerate and enjoy the tropical sky, air, scents and the sound of the bamboo stands as the wind moves through them. Grab a cold beverage from the outdoor refrigerator and make your way around the heart shaped, lily pad dappled pond on the elevated, wooden catwalk with railings and seating nooks. From the catwalk notice the tree branch height yoga studio. Head up the stairs into the elevated air conditioned meditation/yoga studio hugged by the huge live oak tree and take in its verdant view on its covered porch or read, nap, study, and stretch inside. Just down the short path is the pavered and seat-walled fire pit area with seating space for 20+. Let your gaze follow the smoke trail to the star drenched sky! Kick up your heels in delight on the bench swings under the broad canopy of the magnificent banyan tree at the rear of the property. The productive and expansive screened garden space, with greenhouse, give opportunity to enjoy growing your favorite vegetables, herbs and flowers. The barn/maker space/studio with 2000 sf of space gives room for creative outlet and production. Pull down movie screen off the barn lets the group take in the latest cinematic release, outdoors.
