Description of Property
Every home has a story, and Villa Esperanza tells a rare and captivating one. This Mediterranean lakefront estate in Bella Collina blends Palm Beach–influenced architecture, Mizner-inspired details, and Lake Sienna views from nearly every window - defining a rare Central Florida luxury estate. Recognized as a Street of Dreams winner, this 11,049-square-foot residence offers 6 bedrooms, 7 full baths, and 3 half baths, including a detached one-bedroom, one-bath guest suite near the front courtyard. Crafted to be experienced, the home flows from a dramatic volume foyer with hand-laid marble mosaics to the arched Chicago brick ceiling, intricate stonework, custom ironwork, and those lake views woven throughout. The living spaces balance scale and warmth, offering room for quiet mornings and memorable gatherings. The kitchen features Wolf appliances, dual dishwashers, granite countertops, a Sub-Zero Pro 48 refrigerator, and an oversized island with integrated refrigeration. The first-floor primary suite is its own private escape, spanning approximately 2,500 square feet with a sitting room, wet bar, see-through stone fireplace, lake and spa views, dual dressing areas, an eight-head double shower, a Jacuzzi tub beneath an iron canopy, and two water closets, creating a primary bath designed for both comfort and privacy. Upstairs, four additional bedroom suites offer privacy, alongside a game room with a bar, theater room with a Home Cinema HDR10 4K wireless projector, and elevator access. Josh.ai smart home automation gives seamless control over lighting, climate, entertainment, and security. The lakefront terrace, heated pool, spa, courtyard, and summer kitchen area seamlessly blend the home with its natural surroundings. Picture mornings by Lake Sienna, afternoons by the pool, and evenings under the covered outdoor spaces in Bella Collina’s tranquil landscape. Within Bella Collina, a 24-hour guard-gated community, residents have access to an extraordinary lifestyle across more than 1,900 acres of rolling hills, with a Nick Faldo-designed championship golf course, tennis facilities, fitness center, resort-style pool, world-class spa, two restaurants, and a 75,000-square-foot clubhouse. With multiple bedroom suites, a detached guest suite, elevator access, and proximity to Montverde Academy (approximately 2.5 miles), Villa Esperanza is perfect for multi-generational living, extended guest stays, relocation to Central Florida, second-home use, or buyers seeking a private lakefront estate with architectural character and the Bella Collina lifestyle.
