Lake Sebring Estate with Smart Home Features and Incredible Outdoor Living This 3-story lakefront estate sits on 18 acres, including 4 acres along the shores of Lake Sebring - a 468-acre lake known for fishing, boating, watersports, and sunsets. It offers a waterfront lifestyle with smart-home features, quality finishes, and great outdoor spaces. The home has a Key West-style look with a relaxed coastal feel throughout. A 14-acre nature preserve with its own pond sits on the property and includes a 300-foot composite boardwalk and floating dock. It's a peaceful spot to watch wildlife, take photos, or enjoy a quiet walk. The main living area is on the second floor, with elevated lake views and plenty of natural light. Designed for both relaxing and entertaining, the outdoor area features a heated pool with ledge loungers and travertine tile on a large 45x65 pool plaza. Gas torches around the pool and along the lake create a warm glow at night. There's a screened porch on the pool level and another screened porch upstairs overlooking the water. The 2018 outdoor kitchen is air-conditioned and features large sliding glass doors that disappear when opened, giving you the option for an open-air space or a cooled indoor setup. It includes commercial-grade Coyote appliances - a gas grill, two 15,000 BTU burners, and a 50,000 BTU burner - plus a 10-foot custom glass countertop by artist Jeff Downing. The kitchen runs on a Generac generator and three 120-gallon propane tanks for dependable power during storms. Inside the home, Italian porcelain tile covers most of the living areas, with luxury vinyl plank in the master bedroom. The kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and a copper backsplash. This smart home lets you control lighting, security, audio, and more right from your phone. It includes 7 security cameras and 8+ outdoor speakers for full property coverage. There is a gas fireplace in the great room, and gas is already in place if you choose to add one in the master bedroom. Recent updates include new A/C (2024), a metal roof (2016), and new windows (2018/2019). Additional features include hurricane shutters, lightning protection, and aluminum decking on the porches and dock. The landscaping gives the property a tropical, garden-style feel. A large Carrie mango tree, banana trees, and other fruit trees add to the charm. Once known as Miss Cindy's Gardens, the property has hosted many weddings and has been featured in Heartland Living Magazine. The current owner, a certified Florida Master Gardener, has created a vibrant, well-kept landscape all around the home. The private dock on Lake Sebring includes an electric boat lift. The pontoon boat is available for purchase or may be included with a very strong offer. Whether you enjoy sunsets, boating, or peaceful nature trails, this estate offers a little bit of everything.
