Beyond the gates of Casa Bella, a remarkable lakefront estate unfolds across almost 13 private acres along the shores of Lake Van in the heart of Central Florida. Tucked away at the end of a long, scenic driveway with breathtaking lake views, this extraordinary residence offers a rare combination of privacy, scale, and refined traditional design, all just minutes from Interstate 4 and within easy reach of both Tampa and Orlando. Built in 2002 and offering over 9,200 square feet of living space, the home welcomes you with a dramatic grand foyer with stunning crystal chandelier and sweeping staircase that sets the tone for the elegance throughout. Designed for both entertaining and everyday living, the estate features a chef’s kitchen equipped with Sub-Zero and Thermador appliances, multiple formal and casual dining spaces, and expansive living areas filled with natural light and serene views of the surrounding landscape. The luxurious primary suite serves as a private retreat with dual bathrooms, custom closets, and terrace access overlooking the grounds and lake. Additional accommodations include four spacious guest bedrooms, a private study with an en-suite bathroom, and a separate in-law suite ideal for extended family or guests. Resort-style amenities elevate the lifestyle experience, including a waterfall pool, sauna, tennis court, and private boat dock on motorized Lake Van, perfect for boating, fishing, and sunset cruises. Surrounded by mature trees and natural beauty, the property offers exceptional privacy while remaining conveniently located just six miles from I-4, placing world-class dining, airports, and major business centers within easy reach. With multiple garages, upgraded systems, and panoramic waterfront views, Casa Bella represents a rare opportunity to own one of the most distinctive private lake estates in the region. A property of this scale and setting is rarely available, offering the perfect blend of luxury living, natural beauty, and Central Florida accessibility. There are 3 other parcels totaling approximately 31 acres to be sold separately.
