Lakefront Equestrian Compound
De Leon Springs, Volusia County, Florida
A unique opportunity to own your own private piece of the great outdoors. Bring your horses, bring your friends! Not one, but two beautiful homes preside over these 13+acres of horse-ready lakefront land, alongside the barn, sheds, pastures, mature oaks, and above all, the 80ft deep, spring fed lake. Two of only five properties on the lakefront, it's a truly one-of-a-kind enclave — both modern and rustic, engineered and natural, with a sprawling set of luxuries, structures and improvements already present — and all just a quick drive away from downtown Deland and Orlando's malls and airports. Guarded by commercial-grade automatic gates and paved with manicured gravel drives, it's one of those rare sites where modern luxury and timeless nature combine into something truly special.
THE PRIMARY RESIDENCE
The 3,700 sq/ft, 3b/3ba main house, built in 2005, is the ultimate in modern, French country farmhouse luxury and self-sufficiency. Enjoy views of both your pastures and the 80-ft deep, spring fed lake from two grand living areas and an exquisite open kitchen and pantry. Two porches overlook the saltwater pool and beyond, to the clear, clean waters of the lake. The expansive primary suite features a statement fireplace along with two full baths, one for him and one for her each with their own walk-in closets in a unique, split layout. Two guest rooms and the third bath comprise their own wing of the home, offering both access and privacy, and a front office affords a view up the front driveway so you'll always know all going-ons. A full-featured laundry/utility room houses the central air handler and tankless water heater, and two 4-inch wells feed the house and the sprinkler systems. The home is even ready for a central vacuum system! Water and electricity extend all the way to the private dock, and a 35kw Generac whole house generator and 500 gallon propane tank are always on standby should there be a power outage. With elegant, reclaimed-hardwood flooring throughout, 9" baseboards and crown moldings, a 50-year metal roof, and a free standing 30'x30' garage, this home is the peak of comfort in heart of pristine Florida nature. Appliances are all high end including a Subzero refrigerator, Thermador dishwasher, range and hood over a six burner gas cooktop.
THE SATELLITE RESIDENCE
Just across the treeline, the 2,700 sq/ft, 3b/2ba second house enjoys its own unique feel on its own plot of nature both separate and connected behind its own automated gate. Embracing both modern comfort and a traditional feel, polished manufactured-wood floors link a cozy, open kitchen and dining wing to the broad, great-room style living space. A wall of windows offers direct-lakefront views through the huge, screened-in back porch. The primary suite looks over the lake and private dock through a full corner of windows and includes private access to the back porch, so you're always as near or far from nature as you want. Two guest bedrooms enjoy their own bathroom. A bonus room off the main living area could be the perfect office, playroom, or even spare bedroom. Outside, the two-car carport and separate utility shed have your vehicles and tools covered and the shed even has its own lake-facing porch. This home is dog ready with a dog door to the back porch and, if desired, invisible fencing already installed; emergency ready with its 4-inch well, 6kw Generac generator and 300 gallon propane tank, and ring cameras. A slab foundation, 50 year metal roof, and central air/heating provide solid comfort. This residence was built in 1982 but underwent extensive remodeling in 2021 to bring it up to today's standards of luxury living.
FOR HORSES
The lap of luxury isn't just for people, so bring your horses! Five idyllic pastures and a fully-rigged, three-stall barn with tack room and auto-filling troughs await. A single knob waters the troughs in all five paddocks, and a centrifugal 7500 PSI pump system draws from the lake to water them all with the flip of a switch. The barn is fronted by two full-height trailer bays, and a separate equipment shed stands ready to house all manner of mowers and tools.
