Reclaimed cypress harvested from the island, dating back to the 1800s, enriches the home’s distinctive character. The residence was thoughtfully designed in the form of a Celtic cross, with four wings radiating from the central octagon to maximize natural light and panoramic lake views. The gourmet kitchen, elegant gathering spaces, elevator, impressive library, and luxurious owner’s suite are thoughtfully designed for both grand-scale entertaining and comfortable everyday living. Expansive porches, tropical landscaping, citrus groves stocked with Valencia orange trees and private outdoor living areas all embrace the spectacular waterfront setting from every angle of this unique island. The Florida Department of Agriculture recently designated Bannon Island as a “Century Pioneer Family Farm,” which recognizes continuous original ownership for one hundred years. The beautifully restored historic residence preserves the island’s rich heritage with reclaimed cypress walls, a charming music room, guest accommodations, and timeless architectural details that honor Bannon Island’s storied past. Combining historic significance with refined luxury, modern conveniences, and an unrivaled private island setting, this legacy estate offers a lifestyle found nowhere else in Central Florida. An irreplaceable waterfront retreat where history, privacy, natural beauty, world-class angling opportunities and exceptional accessibility converge. Private viewing by appointment only.
