Mediterranean

Bidding NOW OPEN through Tuesday April 13th. There is still time to register. Re-imagine luxury living with this impeccable 30-acre property and the immaculate lifestyle it offers, or combine the adjacent 20-acre parcel for an unheard of 50-acre exceptional South Florida estate. Tucked into the exquisite gated community of Ranch Colony, no feature or comfort was spared in the careful construction of this sprawling Mediterranean-style paradise. Old-world ambiance and classical details are perfectly paired with modern convenience and technology for ultimate luxury. Indoor-outdoor entertaining has never been easier than within its spacious alfresco living areas, like the first floor great room with retractable screen loggia opening to a pier on the property's private four-acre fishing lake. Look out at the sprawling acreage from the third-floor observation lounge with its massive covered deck, balcony, and full bar. The fully-fitted main kitchen, second chef's kitchen, and summer kitchen offer flexible options for entertaining. Wade into the spectacular heated salt-water pool, sip drinks at the poolside indoor-outdoor bar, or wander the lush gardens and emerald grass down to the guest house or highly adaptable barn structure. This property allows for great versatility. The stable can easily be converted into a second home or a common recreation/theater/entertainment center supporting additional custom homes on open land while maintaining privacy, the ultimate family compound. This structure would also make a great studio for art, music, and other forms of entertainment. For the auto enthusiast, due to the structural expansion capability, these facilities could easily be converted into showroom space housing 25 vehicles or more with generous shop and restoration space. Additional highlights of the five-bedroom home include a dining room, a family and billiards room, a 1,000-bottle wine cellar, a luxurious ground-level master suite, and a lounge and terrace enjoying sweeping views of the property. Home and main buildings are built at an elevation to eliminate flood risk with the highest hurricane impact construction standards exceeding Miami/Dade Hurricane Codes. Concrete and rebar poured roof and floor systems plus two commercial diesel generators provide for a safe, self-contained and secured property. This unique construction is found in less than 1% of the residential homes in Florida and represents a SUBSTANTIAL value versus replacement costs. Ranch Colony is surrounded by nature preserves spanning more than 20,000 acres, affording access to parks and horseback riding trails. It could accommodate a variety of activities and pursuits, e.g. space for tennis courts. Superior golfing is steps away at the world-renowned Dye Preserve, which adjoins the property to the west. Restaurants, shops, theater, and other cultural attractions of Palm Beach, Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, PGA, West Palm Beach and Palm Beach International Airport as well as the diverse equestrian and social activities of Wellington are nearby.
