Experience the perfect blend of Ritz-Carlton luxury, Selby Gardens tranquility, and “On Golden Pond” serenity in this breathtaking Arthur Rutenberg lakefront estate. Offered below appraised value and boasting 500 yards of sweeping water views, this home is even more spectacular in person. Schedule a showing today. Completely renovated in 2014–2016 and 2022-2025, this custom masterpiece is tucked inside the prestigious, guard-gated community of Deer Creek in Palmer Ranch. Dramatic 12 ceilings, marble and glass architectural accents, transoms, and gorgeous marble flooring allow natural light to flow throughout the home. The chef’s kitchen is a showpiece, featuring White Patagonia quartz from Brazil, custom cabinetry, a Bosh oven and microwave, French-door refrigerator, separate ice maker, and an extraordinary partial glass ceiling and feature wall that elevate the entire space. The expansive great room overlooks a dazzling 42 heated saltwater pool and the peaceful 9-acre lake, offering unforgettable sunsets and constant wildlife views. Designed for luxurious indoor-outdoor living, the residence provides over 3,000 sq ft inside and 1,500 sq ft of outdoor living space. The flexible floor plan includes 3 spacious bedrooms plus a beautiful office/optional 4th bedroom with a cozy fireplace and plantation shutters. The primary suite is a private sanctuary with fully marbled floors, soaring 12 walls, a stunning 5 crystal chandelier, glass-wrapped spa bath with a walk-in shower, custom freestanding tub, and a generous boutique-style walk-in closet. Meticulously upgraded, the home includes energy-efficient zoned HVAC with warranty, foam insulation, two water heaters, heated bathroom fans, crown molding, upgraded LED lighting, triple sliders, and full storm protection. A 3-car garage with 8 doors features a walk-up, floored attic for exceptional storage. The property is framed by mature oaks, seven bougainvillea plantings, sago palms, creeping fig, and vibrant Birds of Paradise gardens. Deer Creek offers a stately, guard-gated entrance, 17 scenic lakes, and an upscale, serene community environment—just 12 minutes to world-famous Siesta Key and moments from shopping, dining, and beaches. This exceptional lakefront residence captures the very best of Gulf Coast luxury living.
