About this home

Introducing Palazzo Vecchio a remarkable legacy estate situated on The Butler Chain of Lakes. Crafted by renowned luxury builder Akers Custom Homes, this Italian-inspired gated compound spans 4.37 acres of land, offering an unrivaled 275+ feet of direct lake frontage and a level of privacy and grandeur rarely seen in Central Florida. Beyond a private gated entrance, a long, sweeping drive winds down to an expansive porte-cochere, setting the tone for what awaits. The estate unfolds like a European retreat, complete with a four-car garage, manicured grounds, and a private tennis court. Inside, soaring 22-foot ceilings and dramatic walls of glass immediately frame panoramic lake views, flooding the interiors with natural light. The grand great room is anchored by a statement marble fireplace adorned with intricate detailing, an architectural focal point designed for both intimate evenings and elevated entertaining. The chef's kitchen is a masterpiece of scale and functionality, centered around an enormous island ideal for gathering, complemented by stainless steel appliances and generous prep space. Nearby, the formal dining room offers a grand and sophisticated setting with sweeping lake vistas and a custom mosaic tile floor. The primary suite occupies its own private wing, an elevated sanctuary designed for true retreat. Complete with a sitting lounge, dual private balconies, a private bar station, and a spa-inspired bath featuring a grand soaking tub, expansive walk-in shower, and separate bespoke his and hers walk-in closets, it is a residence within the residence. Four additional bedrooms which are all ensuite in the main home provide luxurious accommodation for family and guests alike. Elevated lifestyle amenities include a dedicated home office with custom built-in cabinetry, a private movie theater, and an expansive game room perfect for entertaining on a grand scale. Outdoors, the estate transforms into a private resort. A massive dual level covered lanai flows effortlessly to a resort-style pool and spa, while a 400-square-foot cabana, complete with a summer kitchen, bar, bathroom, and outdoor shower, offers the ultimate setting for lakeside entertaining. The wide, open backyard featuring scores of organic fruit trees such as mango, banana, fig, passionfruit, and guava as well as 300 feet of active vegetable garden rows leads to a private dock with dual boat slips, offering immediate access to the coveted Butler Chain and views of Disney fireworks at night. A thoughtfully designed mudroom also features extended custom built-ins, offering both elegant storage and everyday functionality for a beautifully organized entry space. Complementing the main residence, a fully appointed guest house offers four additional bedrooms, one currently used as a private gym, a full kitchen, living room, a full English bar/entertaining space with dual balconies, children's play are and its own private entrance ideal for extended stays, multigenerational living, or executive guests. Originally conceived as an extraordinary waterfront residence, the estate was further elevated in 2019 with the addition of an expansive 3,500-square-foot addition, thoughtfully designed to enhance both the scale and lifestyle experience. Opportunities of this magnitude are extraordinarily rare, Palazzo Vecchio is not simply a home; it is a once-in-a-generation offering destined for the most discerning buyer.
