About This Home

As of June 2025

iSellers are motivated! 4.9 Acres, 4000+ sqft, Custom Pool Home! Welcome to Villa Extraordinaire. This magnificent, custom-designed Mediterranean sundeck pool home is a whimsical tribute to the picturesque town of Portofino, Italy. Crafted by its original owner, a theme park planner and custom kitchen designer, this residence epitomizes unique luxury. Nestled on approximately 4.86 acres of lush, heavily wooded land, this home exudes a resort-like ambiance and lots of privacy. The expansive pool area, inspired by an Italian seaside village, features an island with two bridges, underwater bar stools, a "beach," and a four tier fountain, all within a two story screen enclosure. The "acoustically correct" music room includes a 3 manual theater organ, a piano, and stained glass widows. The formal living and dining rooms include cherry furniture and electric fireplace. The home also includes many pieces of beautiful custom artwork. The residence is designed to capture natural light through its many windows and archways, enhanced by decorative columns and carefully curated vignettes. The property boasts central whole-house vacuum and a very convenient second floor laundry room. The kitchen features solid wood cabinets in a driftwood finish on hickory and chocolate glaze on cherry. Column accents and many built-in display areas are thoughtfully placed throughout the home. An ethereal family room boasts an 18' ceiling, palladium windows, spiral columns, and a gorgeous view of the home's Mediterranean inspired pool area. The upstairs primary suite, adjacent to the hardwood-floored octagonal room with its own balcony, features high ceilings, dual walk-in closets, and an en suite bath with double sinks, a walk-in shower, and linen storage. The property also includes an extra-large two-car garage, a water equipment room, a kitchen garden with raised beds, privacy fence, dog run, large storage shed, walking trails, underground utilities, and separate driveways for guests and owners. Located in Bushnell, with easy access to Tampa, Orlando, and The Villages, this "Villa Extraordinaire" is a rejuvenating lifestyle experience in a convenient woodland setting. Sellers are offering an $18,000 concession to buyers.
