CANTERWOOD is Home. And there is nothing better than being home. Few opportunities ever present themselves in this private sanctuary style enclave of only 40 homesites ranging from well over an acre to almost 10 acres and individual homes nearing six million dollars. Enter the private gates of this equestrian community and immediately sense the peaceful tranquility that surrounds all that is CANTERWOOD. You will drive through the neighborhood looking and wondering how this could have existed without your knowledge. As you slowly travel the winding road, you’ll notice the abundance of mature oaks and fabulous landscaping gracing these tasteful estates. You will start to drift into a state of mind that only Home can provide. Welcome to CANTERWOOD.
When Classic Contemporary blends with Tuscan elegance, it creates a masterpiece. Sculpted by one of Central Florida’s most distinguished custom home builders, this is a residence on another level. The location chosen for the home on this picturesque 2.48 acres is perfect to showcase both the residence and the abundance of Florida nature surrounding it. The tasteful landscaping has matured to blend with the oaks that have called this sanctuary Home for decades before it became the CANTERWOOD dream. The double ten-foot-tall mahogany doors warmly welcome you into this special space. Only the most discriminating material and labor sources were chosen to bring this incredible vision to its present state of both practical and elegant. From the palatial 23-foot-tall ceilings to the 45 square foot temperature appropriate wine storage, this home was built dream by dream. The staircase leading to the second floor and its balconies was almost a year in the making and was in excess of $115,000 – just for the staircase! The kitchen and baths are spacious and only the most distinguishing fixtures and appliances were chosen for these special areas. The gathering room features 90 degree 10-foot-tall sliders that disappear to bring the outdoors in. And what an outdoors it is! This Florida retreat was designed and created with true resort ambience intended and mission accomplished. The 40 by 60-foot pool has depths from 3 ½ to 7 ½ feet with a waterfall and slide so spacious that it houses a spa-like sauna getaway inside the waterfall. The 9000 square foot courtyard patio is completely fenced with columns and tastefully designed aluminum inserts to secure the outdoor living space. The entire deck is travertine marble and will lead you to the spacious outdoor kitchen on one end and the private oasis with jetted tub on the other. Step outside this stately residence in any direction and experience the beauty of 2 ½ acres of gently rolling landscapes and Florida outdoors at its finest.
