Property Description
Beyond the gates of Casa Bella, a private lakefront estate sits on nearly 13 private acres along the shores of Lake Van in the heart of Central Florida. Lake Van spans 595 acres and reaches depths of up to 30 feet. Motorized boats, jet skis, and houseboats are all welcome with no permit required and no boating restrictions. Every evening ends with open-water views. A long, scenic driveway leads to the residence. It offers privacy, scale, and refined traditional design, all six miles from Interstate 4 with easy access to Tampa and Orlando and very close to Disney. Built in 2002 with over 9,200 square feet of living space, the home opens to a grand foyer with a crystal chandelier and sweeping staircase. The chef's kitchen features Sub-Zero and Thermador appliances. Formal and casual dining spaces flow into expansive living areas filled with natural light and lake views. The primary suite is a private retreat with dual bathrooms with steam shower and marble tub enclosure, custom closets, and terrace access overlooking the grounds and lake. Four spacious guest bedrooms, a private study with a built in train set with tracks and an en-suite bath, and a separate in-law apt with kitchen, living room, bedroom with balcony that give extended family and guests their own space. Outdoor living includes a waterfall pool, a sauna, and direct access to Lake Van for boating, jet skiing, and fishing. Mature trees surround the property for exceptional privacy. Dining, airports, and major business centers are all within easy reach. With multiple garages, upgraded systems, and panoramic waterfront views, Casa Bella is one of the most distinctive private lake estates in Central Florida. An adjoining 14.92 acre lakefront land listing is available separately, offering nearly 28 acres combined for buyers who want a true private compound.
