Property description

Nestled behind the gates of the coveted Stonelake Ranch community, this extraordinary custom residence sits on nearly 2 acres backing to a protected bird preserve and canal connecting to the largest lake in Hillsborough County. The crown jewel is the nearly $1 million Ryan Hughes Design outdoor living space — an infinity-edge pool, jetted hot tub with waterfall edge and loungers, swim-up bar, sunken lounge, water ledge with built-in umbrellas and fire feature, water feature wall, separate fire pit and seating, a fully appointed outdoor kitchen and dining pavilion, and an outdoor media area — all set against the serene backdrop of the preserve. From the moment you turn down the long, palm-lined driveway — flanked by grand mature Royal Palms — you sense this home is something entirely different. An 18-foot porch ceiling announces the scale and craftsmanship within, drawing you into a soaring foyer that opens to the formal living and dining room — an entertainer's dream anchored by a gas fireplace, custom Henge lighting, and a wall of glass that frames the resort-style pool beyond.
