*Legacy Awaits* Welcome to an unparalleled masterpiece, an architectural marvel built by Gargiula Construction, that transcends time and trends. This extraordinary property draws inspiration from the iconic Addison Mizner mansion in Palm Beach, Florida. It stands as a shimmering testament to the fusion of 1920s Spanish Colonial Revival and Moorish architectural styles, which have forever transformed the landscape of Southern Florida. Crafted by the esteemed David Naylor, a world-renowned interior decorator and designer, this home is a true celebration of artistry and sophistication. Naylor, a discerning connoisseur of elegance, sought to redefine and elevate the concept of society architecture, resulting in a unique expression of luxury and refinement that stands apart from the ordinary. Spanning an impressive 8,701 square feet, this residence features five bedrooms, five full baths, and three half baths, complemented by an executive office and an opulent theater/game room/pub. Each space is meticulously designed, harmonizing the rich architectural traditions of ancient Spain with thoughtful modifications tailored for Florida's climate. Situated on the deepest waters of the Caloosahatchee River, this property offers the unique ability to accommodate a yacht of up to 50 feet, a rare find among Fort Myers riverfront properties, where boat size is often limited. Currently, the estate boasts two boat lifts, one capable of supporting 16,000 pounds and the other 6,000 pounds. Naylor’s designs evoke the warm, traditional ambiance of stately European homes and rustic country retreats, seamlessly integrating contemporary comforts and sensibilities. The garage currently accommodates four vehicles, with the potential to add three more lifts, allowing for an ultimate collection of up to seven cars. Mizner’s legacy is palpable throughout this estate, reflecting his profound study of Spanish architecture and his deep understanding of the tropical landscapes of Spanish America. David Naylor has breathed new life into this vision, capturing the spirit of the artisans of yesteryear. He commissioned bespoke elements from only the best craftsmen, including woodworkers, furniture makers, stone artisans, and tile experts, each contributing their devotion and skill to create a residence that is as functional as it is beautiful. Built to the highest standards of hurricane protection, this home is a fortress of safety. The entire second floor is constructed of poured concrete. Remarkably, this residence has stood resilient against hurricanes since its inception, showcasing unparalleled durability and peace of mind. This estate stands as a testament to artistry and refined living, a true one-of-a-kind opportunity that invites you to immerse yourself in a lifestyle defined by sophistication, and timeless beauty.
