Old World warmth combines with environmentally responsible design in this beautiful Mediterra estate with panoramic golf course views.
Bridging the ideals of the past and present, this Tuscan-inspired residence is both a timeless classic and an FGBC-certified Florida Green Home, created through the collaboration of custom builder BCB Homes and McHarris Planning & Design. Golf course panoramas sweep open from the sprawling residence beautifully sited on an expansive and luxuriantly landscaped corner property.
A rich mix of marble, hardwood, and faux finishes gives the comfortably scaled rooms a warmly alluring Old World ambiance refined with decidedly modern ease. Unfolding as a series of gracious settings in a flowing courtyard plan, most major rooms overlook the fairway and open onto the wraparound loggia, bougainvillea-draped pergolas, and garden patio surrounding the shimmering pool in an exotic resort-like realm. This is an absolutely extraordinary residence, an elegant classic that deftly meets all of today’s highest standards.
