About This Home

Welcome to Your Private Slice of Central Florida Paradise

Leave your worries behind as you drive down the scenic 1⁄4-mile private driveway leading to your gated retreat. Nestled in the hills of Sugarloaf Mountain—the highest point on the Florida Peninsula—this nearly 20-acre estate offers the perfect blend of luxury, nature, and privacy. Step inside to an open floor plan with immediate views of the sparkling pool, expansive patio, and tranquil pond beyond. Enjoy unforgettable sunsets from your own backyard oasis, surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature.

This spacious home features:

• Four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, including two primary suites—one on the main floor and another upstairs
• A dedicated home office
• A versatile bonus room—ideal as a media room, playroom, or anything you envision
• A pool and hot tub perfect for entertaining or relaxing
• A massive 2,500 sq ft outbuilding to store all your toys, tools, or recreational vehicles

With solar power and a whole-house generator, you’ll stay comfortable no matter what Florida weather brings.

Beyond the home, the fully fenced pastures are ready for horses, goats, donkeys, or cattle. The small barn/shed has been a cozy shelter for livestock and adds charm to the property’s rural appeal.

Located just a short drive from Orlando and major attractions, this peaceful property feels worlds away. With road frontage on both County Road 455 and Laney Road, the possibilities are endless—subdivide, build a multi-home family compound, or simply enjoy the solitude of your own private haven

Sellers are motivated. Home is listed under appraisal price.
