Property DescriptionAlong the serene waters of the Tomoka Preserve, stands a Mediterranean palazzo of rare distinction, created to be a piece of art in its own right. A scenic drive through the preserve, lined with majestic palms draped in Spanish moss, leads to this private waterfront estate offering a perfect balance of elegance and tranquility. Resting on 1.24acres of private lagoon front, this award-winning custom estate offers both prestige and seclusion. Blending elegance with nature, occasional deer may pause to watch you fish or canoe from the backyard. At the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the home greets visitors with a regal canopy entrance, a sweeping-wide circular driveway, Venetian columns, Italian curved terracotta roof, paver-lined paths and tropical landscaping. A life-size ''Signora dell'Acqua'' fountain (lady of the water) and river rock gardens complete the essence of a Mediterranean retreat.
