Welcome to Monte Lago. On over three acres of lush grounds, this remarkable lakeside estate combines grandeur and elegance to create an exceptional living experience. Thoughtfully designed and custom-built, this single-owner residence rests atop a rolling hill and offers sweeping views of West Crooked Lake. Designed for comfort and accessibility, the single-story floor plan provides a seamless flow throughout the entire home. Inside, soaring tray-detailed ceilings complement authentic hardwood and travertine floors, while two natural gas masonry fireplaces bring warmth and character to the family room and the spacious attached in-law suite. Featuring four bedrooms, five baths and a rare four-car garage, this home is as functional as it is refined. The expansive in-law suite is complete with its kitchenette and private entrance through the enclosed patio, making it ideal for extended family, guests or a private retreat. Constructed on a stem-wall foundation with 12-inch double-insulated brick walls and R40 ceiling insulation, this home was built for enduring quality and features a newer roof (2021). Function meets form with thoughtful features such as a central vacuum system, garage car-care station, utility sink, dual air handlers, and comprehensive security inside and out. Outdoors, lush landscaping flourishes under a private 12-zone irrigation well, while more than 350 mature shrubs reaching 8 to 10 feet create a natural screen of privacy. The lake itself is fed by artesian springs, known for their remarkable clarity and natural purity, making West Crooked Lake one of the region's pristine bodies of water. An exceptional offering of privacy, craftsmanship and enduring design, Monte Lago is best experienced firsthand. Just minutes from downtown Eustis and Mount Dora, this estate delivers the tranquility of lakefront living with the convenience of vibrant shops, dining and entertainment nearby.
