On 20 December 2023

In Contemporary, Florida, luxury, property, USA

The perfect mansion base for your summers in Florida

For many people, Florida is a magical place, from the weather to the theme parks, the laid-back vibe to the glorious vistas. Why not own a magical mansion from which to enjoy this American paradise in style?

The mansion is impressive right from the double-height glass-walled entrance hall

Located in Reunion Resort, this 9-bed, 13-bath, custom-built house is spectacular, with one of the largest pools on the whole estate (it’s 75ft long!). With multiple seating areas on the terrace around the pool, the house is ideal for entertaining and holidaying, with ample space for everyone.

With one of the largest pool in the whole resort, this house is ideal for entertaining

The ground floor contains a sweepingly-vast open-plan kitchen and dining space where there is also a large sitting area, allowing all householders and guests to share meals and kick back together.

The main living area has multiple doors out onto the terrace to create a vast inside/outside entertaining space

The kitchen is a serious treat: it’s custom built and filled with Wolf appliances, alongside a bespoke Sub-Zero fridge. The granite island provides an extra space for socialising around meal times and the kitchen as a whole sparkles almost more as an art piece, yet remains incredibly functional and accessible.

Artistic as well as practical, the kitchen makes meal prep a pleasure and effortlessly social

This large shared space has multiple patio doors providing direct access to the pool area, while there is a stylish bar area that will surely become the venue for those late night revelries or perhaps it could serve as a hydration station when the heat outside gets too much?

The ‘bar’ area has direct access out onto the terrace and pool

While the grown ups are at the bar, the youngsters will likely be unable to leave the games room, which is decked out with all the classic arcade games and decorated in jubilant style to match.

Those old favourites of the arcade make this home games room a fun indoor activity

For something altogether quieter, there is a smaller, cosier sitting room that is ideal for curling up with a film after a busy day out in the Floridian sunshine. As with all the other spaces, this room is eye-catching and bold in design, yet retains a sense of comfort and welcome.

Climb up the stairs to discover the bedrooms which are, frankly, dreamy in their style, space and comfort. There are two master suites, both with their own artistic and bold bathrooms that will make getting washed feel like a trip to an art gallery.

Communal and en-suite bathrooms are all idiosyncratic and stylish

The bedrooms are plush and inviting, with dual aspect windows in many rooms to allow surges of sunshine to wash the space during daylight hours. The master bedrooms have patio doors that provide direct access to the terrace, vastly increasing their space and providing occupants with the chance to enjoy sunrise or sunset just a few steps from bed.

Two master bedroom suites are the largest, most luxurious of the 9 bedrooms in the property

As is only fitting in this entertainment-soaked part of the country, two of the bedrooms are superbly themed for the movies. One is decked out perfectly for a princess – is there a little person in your life who would enjoy a night in this room, sleeping in a personal castle?

A princess bedroom could be the dream for the little person in your life

The Toy Story-themed room is quite a treat too, complete with multi-level areas and bunk beds; there’s even a personal ‘firework display’ shown on the ceiling to help lull the kids to sleep.

To complete the package, this mansion also houses a private cinema (with twelve reclining chairs) and a personal gym for when you need to let off some steam and stay fit amid the holiday indulgences.

There is a small home gym, although the resort has extensive fitness facilities

For more fitness activities, Reunion Resort Active membership provides access to the Resort’s various golf courses, tennis courts, swimming pools, a large gym and activities such as pickleball and footgolf. Located just 6 miles from Walt Disney World and centrally located for accessing all the other great entertainment venues in Central Florida, this Resort home is an ideal pad to purchase for Florida fun with all the family.

5-bed mansion, Florida (USA), $17,500,000

On 23 October 2023

In Contemporary, Large grounds, luxury, USA

This is the Florida you’ve been dreaming of..

Sophistication and elegance are the promise from this lakefront mansion in one of the most sought-after addresses in Central Florida, the Isleworth community, surrounding the Butler Chain of Lakes. Enter the secured gates to discover a vast house that is ideally suited to the sports enthusiast with ample space for entertaining all your pals.

A palatial entrance hall gives the mansion an immediate sense of grandeur

Right from the palatial entrance hall guests will be entranced by your home – there are tall windows, high ceilings and space for chilling as well as both stairs and a lift to whisk you up or down to the other floors.

Sweeping staircases and elevators are available for travelling up and down the floors

The main living space is an open-plan design, with a modern kitchen opening onto a breakfast bar and a casual seating area for those times when a drink or a cuppa are informally enjoyed.

The modern kitchen is open to the breakfast bar and lounge area for sociable food prep

Contemporary in style but convenient by design, the kitchen contains all the equipment needed to deliver meals as impressive as the house itself while still retaining an artistic edge. The light fittings above the main island are stunning unique pieces that set off the chrome and marble effect of the whole space.

The kitchen is sleek but packed with everything needed to feed a full house

There are further reception rooms – both formal and informal – that can be turned to whatever purpose suits the new owner, such as a dining room and some cosy lounges for knocking back with a good book. All the spaces are washed with light from multiple, large windows and patio doors that deliver the house a sense of space and an ease with flowing out to the patios and terraces surrounding the pool.

There is space for a grand dining table if preferred, with doors opening onto the terrace

The 9,000 sq ft of living space goes on to include an office – for the sensible days – and a cinema and recreation room (for the fun days). Watching a film in the privacy of your own cinema is a superb way to spend an evening, although remember to shut the curtains or you may be tempted to shoot a few hoops…

The cinema room has a front-row view of the court too

Yes, because nestled down in the recreation area of this incredible house is an air-conditioned, full-sized basketball; a real bonus find in this area. The house also has a gym and a sauna, to help develop and then soothe the hoop-shooting muscles after a few hours on the court.

The full-sized air-conditioned basketball court is a unique asset of this mansion

Five bedrooms and eight bathrooms deliver the accommodation for the household and your guests. The bedrooms are light-filled and spacious, all containing the artistic flourishers that is a theme across the rest of the house.

Dual aspect windows and tall ceilings help make the bedrooms feel roomy yet comfortable

The master suite includes a large dressing area and a hidden shoe closet, as well as a washing machine and dryer to allow clothes to be laundered at ease. The bathrooms, both the en-suites and general, are exquisite and stylish, with all the most modern fittings added with baths and showers large enough for even the tallest basketball player on your team.

Contemporary chic style extends into the various bathrooms

In such a stunning setting and with unbeatable Floridian weather, a lot of life will be lived outside. Perched as it is on the lake, this mansion provides a superb view of spectacular sunsets and the nightly Disney fireworks from one of the many comfortable seating areas gathered around the swimming pool. There is also an outdoor kitchen to make summer meals an experience to share with guests in the balmy summer air rather than cooped up inside.

The mansion hugs the pool, which in turn spills towards the lakes; summer living will definitely be out of doors

The Isleworth community covers 600 acres, with the estate also including Isleworth Golf and Country Club (one of the Top 100 Platinum Clubs of the World) which provides a wealth of sporting activities as well as top-class dining and year-round activities for young people. There are also all the necessary concierge services that may be required.

This beautiful property sits within the Isleworth community, a development that also contains golf courses and other sports facilities

The estate is around 50 mins drive from Florida beaches and Orlando International Airport is 22 miles away. Accessing Downtown Orlando takes about 30 mins by car, while the Mall at Millenia is just 20 mins drive: ideal for anything you can’t satisfy on the estate itself, but there won’t be many whims that can’t be catered for at this luxurious address.

20-bed cinephile mansion, Florida (USA), £9,075,230

On 8 August 2023

Each arrival at this 20-bed mansion is like the red carpet experience

If you’re a fan of the movies, this is a mansion you are going to want to get your hands on. The vast entrance way hosts your own, tall Oscar statuette to welcome you and your entourage to a palatial pad that is going to see you all lost in your favourite Hollywood daydream. Hold on tight as we take a look inside this truly unique house.

The movie theme covers every inch of the house, with the decor and design ideally suited to those who adore Hollywood

There is a maxed-out movie theme to every inch of this space and its more of an entertainment hub than a house, what with a bowling alley, indoor basketball half court, games room, a pool complete with a water slide and volcano, an outdoor tiki hut/bar for grabbing a beverage as well as an indoor bar and cinema for indoor fun.

A vast seating area next to the kitchen allows your many guests to mingle and graze

This is definitely a house to invite all your friends to, with 20 luxurious bedrooms, each themed after a different movie so your guests can stay the night in their own private Hollywood experience whether they see themselves as a Dorothy or a Marilyn. For that extra sparkle, the theme song plays the moment you step across the threshold of the bedroom. Yes, really.

“Oh Toto, I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore..”

With a houseful of guests, owners will be glad of the vast gourmet kitchen complete with four double refrigerators, two hobs, two double ovens and a wine cooler, all presented in a facility made sleek (but brightly-coloured) with modern European style cabinets and solid countertops.

The kitchen is colourful but stylishly fitted with the latest appliances to make cooking easy…well…depending for how many guests..

There’s ample informal seating around the kitchen area, but a grand dining area will comfortably seat thirty-seven for those larger feasts. And when full up and sleepy, save yourself having to roll down to the private cinema and use the screens embedded in the walls to start the latest blockbuster rolling inside your house.

Plenty of washing machines and driers will ensure you can cater to the needs of up to 40 guests

The house is primely located for all the thrills and spills of Florida, as and when you can bear to leave this fun hub. The Disney World parks are approximately 30 mins by car and a whole range of glorious beaches aren’t too far away.

The decor certainly echoes the spills and thrills available at the theme parks nearby in Orlando

Owners may also like to hire a management company and rent out this incredibly unique experiential property to the cinephiles that flock to Orlando. The returns can be vast – and it’s a way to share the joy of this splendidly bold and colourful explosion of a mansion.

Aston Martin Residences Miami penthouse (US), $50,000,000

On 11 July 2023

In Contemporary, High rise, luxury, seaview, USA

Moor your private yacht outside the Aston Martin Residences

Not all that many apartments come with a free Aston Martin but hey, this is Miami. And did we mention that it’s a penthouse in the extraordinary Aston Martin Residences, slap-bang on the waterfront in downtown Miami? You’ll be torn between driving your new Aston Martin (yes, this property really does come with the car) and a yacht, the latter moored right outside.. Yachts aren’t included in the price though.

The interior space is majestic courtesy of ample windows and incredible views

Set over three levels and covering almost 20,000 sq ft, this luxury penthouse provides all the comfort, space and unreal viewing points that one would hope for in this exclusive location. It’s also a pet-friendly building, so feel free to bring your pooch.

Multiple lounging areas will suit families or a range guests

On the ground floor you will find not one but two kitchens, the family lounges and terraces, and a gym and spa for your own private use. The spaces are all finished impeccably and provide a comfortable flow for true contemporary living.

Owners will have a choice of kitchens across three floors

Moving up to your first floor, there are seven beautiful and spacious bedrooms. There is also another terrace and more lounge areas for enjoying that seemingly-endless water and the view of the horizon, which simply can’t be avoided when there are more windows than walls…

Wake up to another perfect Miami day

The top floor is surely the ultimate final piece of the ostentatious puzzle. Up here you’ll find your large private pool area and a vast terrace (complete with 360-degree views of Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline) with a sitting area and yet another kitchen.

The top floor has a 360-degree terrace and a private pool

Despite being an apartment, the property provides just over 7,000 sq ft of outdoor space. Residents and guests will have no excuses, rain or shine, to miss a spectacular sunset each and every day.

Multiple lounging areas on multiple levels ensure privacy for a large entourage

As and when owners can bear to leave their luxurious private penthouse, the building itself provides many more pleasures. There are over 40,000 sq ft of facilities in the Residences, including a fitness centre and spa, an art gallery, a business centre, a children’s play room, a games room, a cinema, another pool as well as a bar and lounge. Private dining can also be arranged, while there is a full service concierge and 24-hour valet service (no doubt skilled in parking new Aston Martins in the covered garage).

Being right on the waterfront and in the heart of downtown Miami is a real draw

There simply couldn’t be a better location in Miami. The building is right on the waterfront and close to the Brickell Financial District, Central Business District and the Arts & Entertainment District. Some of the best of the city’s beaches are also nearby (South Beach is 18 mins away) and the international airport is just 20 mins drive

12-bed home in Mickey Mouse’s backyard, Florida $9,650,000

In Contemporary, luxury, USA

Elegant exteriors and spectacular interiors make this a sought-after property

Your Floridian holiday is guaranteed to be a complete indulgence if you can combine your visits to Disney Land or the Reunion Resort and Club with a stay in a home like this.

Sleeping and enthralling up to 28 (bring all the family!) across 13,000 sq. ft., this villa is elegant yet vibrant, bristling with incredible extras that will make it hard not to plot a permanent move to Florida.

Design flourishes make this house unique and fun

The villa was custom-designed when built and has design flourishes that elevate this from mere luxury to comfortable opulence. There are intricately detailed ceilings and themed bedrooms which will delight – and likely cause an argument over who gets which room!

Disappear into the movies as you slip into sleep

The ground floor’s kitchen and dining space is expansive, with space for all to gather, cook and dine with glorious views over the surrounding grounds and land. The kitchen area has stainless appliances, granite countertops and a raised breakfast bar, with enough formal seating for 18.

Large kitchen dining space can seat 18 for formal dining

Home entertainment needs are incredibly well catered for. This home boasts a cinema, an arcade and a large entertaining space with pool table.

Your very own arcade will be a real draw for guests

Those seeking more active leisure pursuits will find plenty to satisfy them in this property too. There is an on-site fitness center and a large swimming pool that provides all the space needed for lapping swimmers, noisy games or relaxing with a sundowner. A spa, that seats up to 10, is yet another option for unwinding after a packed day of Florida fun.

The infinity pool is a stunning feature, with loungers for the whole household

Twelve bedrooms are scattered across the property, not all with themed rooms as some adults may prefer the elegant luxury that the majority of this property exuded.

En-suite bathrooms are attached to many of the bedrooms and complement the design tones

Many of the bedrooms come with attached en-suite bathrooms that echo the design and tones, while providing high-quality facilities for washing away the day’s heat or perking up the spirits for the new day ahead.

Even the bathrooms are thoughtfully designed and elegantly finished

There are many different entertaining and sitting areas, as well as options for dining inside and out, to allow multiple guests the space and privacy they may need. A young persons’/children’s gathering area on the first floor is ideal for the juniors, although many will be drawn to the open air, whether that be in the pool or lounging in the reception rooms with the floor-to-ceiling windows open.

Multiple reception rooms and dining spaces ensure all guests have their privacy

The villa is currently in a short-term rental programme with a good track record in terms of past and future bookings – this could stay in place if the new owner opts to maintain the current property manager. The arrangement would allow the property to generate some income for those seeking to use this as a holiday home, especially considering its prime location and unique, elegant design.

Take a virtual tour of the property.

The nearest international airport is Orlando, around 15 miles away. Orlando remains an incredibly popular destination for holidaymakers, with 12 theme parks in the vicinity including Walt Disney World, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Universal Studios.

In luxury, property, USA

8 bedrooms
9 bathrooms
9,300 sq ft (864 sq m)

luxury_property_florida

Now is the time to make your Floridian dream a reality with a sunning and palatial modern Intracoastal home in Palm Beach Gardens. You may need to invest in some additional furniture too, with over 9,300 interior square feet to fill, plus 105 square feet of direct water frontage!

This incredible home has been newly renovated to blend aesthetic simplicity with state of the art functionality. As you’d hope in California, this home offers a chic approach to healthy living and you’ll likely be enjoying the water as much as the indoors.

What does the $15,750,000 (guide price) get you? A private gate leads to this sprawling and lush 1 acre estate just minutes from the Jupiter inlet. Organic design elements include marble and wood flooring, stone accent wall with fireplace and floor to ceiling windows (all premiere impact).

Set across two levels, the living room is the first you enter from the front door. All rooms are grand in size and designed to blend casual comfort and elegance. That isn’t to say this can’t also be a vibrant home: the family room and kitchen (with water views) provide a hub for family life, while an ‘owner’s suite’ offers resort luxury with spa style bath and large closets for when you need to have some privacy.

Other rooms include a huge gym, a cinema room, home office and a large pool cabana with space to cook. Guest bedrooms are all spacious and provide spa-like ensuite baths (it’s safe to say you’ll get plenty of guests). There is also a large outdoor area on the upper floor for dreamy views of the pool and the Intracoastal waterway for sundowners or morning coffee.

I mean, wow. Beautifully equipped inside with manicured grounds and easy boating options, this Florida home is also well located within minutes of best beaches, shopping, dining and golf venues. It is also close to the Palm Beach Gardens/Jupiter line and three major airports for when life compels you to leave your slice of heaven.
