The story: The coveted community of Stone Creek Ranch provides the exclusive backdrop for this epic waterfront property brimming with stately splendor and modern majesty. Cast amid Georgian-inspired architecture, the sprawling estate strikes an impressive balance between timeless elegance, sophisticated comfort and artisanal wonder. The heated Olympic-style saltwater pool, for example, is further elevated by an original sculpture from artist David Harper—a striking sphere that symbolizes the Earth and its ecosystem. The impeccably manicured lakefront property, spanning 2.6 acres, also boasts an in-ground spa, an area for croquet, and a tennis court (and half-basketball court). Each bedroom suite is generously proportioned, including a first-floor VIP suite and a mammoth second-level primary suite with a private balcony, fireplace and separate baths, closets and dressing rooms. The functional, open floor plan includes a chef’s kitchen with custom cabinetry and state-of-the-art appliances. An artful lighting fixture by The Palm Chandelier adds a regal touch to a conservatory room that’s perfect for afternoon tea.

Bonus highlights: A wellness suite with sauna, massage room and gym; a grand home theater with cutting-edge audio and seating for 10; a library; a craft/hobby area; a playroom; a six-car garage; and Crestron home automation.
