Located thirty minutes from Tampa International Airport, this magnificent Mediterranean 16 acre estate is currently on the market for $12 million. Built in 2006, the estate first came on the market in 2014 for $14.3 million and sat there until it was increased to $14.9 million in late 2016. And, now, the price is reduced. Sprawling estate encompasses a main residence with 21,000 square feet under roof and a guest house with 6200 square feet under roof. Massive iron doors open onto the foyer. An elegant groin-vaulted ceiling arches up 26 feet high.

The lower walls of the foyer are made of pre-cast stone blocks. They set the tone of age and grandeur while the upper half has a silky Venetian plaster finish featuring a unique stencil pattern. Travertine marble floors are used in most of the public areas of the ground floor to complete the old world effect.
One of the many unique features of this family focused home is The Village, a whimsical entertaining wing comprising a movie house with marquee, a pub, a poker and cigar room, loft style music lounge, an ice-cream shop and a book store/library.
