The record-breaking property is built to last and is one of the only estates in Polk County with a solar farm.
MULBERRY, FLA. (January 9, 2025) — 400 Canterwood Drive, a stunning private estate has sold for $2.65 million. This marks the highest-priced sale in the community in over two years and sets the record as the highest sale in all of Polk County in more than 100 days. The landmark transaction was marketed exclusively by Alejandro Quiel of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty’s Southwest Orlando office.
This property’s standout feature—a 70-panel mounted solar farm—places it among the most unique estates in the county, highlighting a commitment to sustainability rarely seen in luxury homes.
Situated on a sprawling 4.31-acre estate, the private oasis of elegance offers unparalleled luxury and craftsmanship with features including a custom mahogany front door, intricate hardwood flooring, and 12- to 18-foot tray ceilings adorned with crown molding. The estate’s gourmet kitchen, private movie theater, and expansive outdoor oasis featuring a resort-style pool and spa exemplify the pinnacle of luxury living.
Adding to its appeal, the property includes a detached structure with an eight-car garage and an additional two-bedroom suite, accessed via a private elevator.
Built to Withstand Nature's Challenges
400 Canterwood Drive is a testament to superior engineering, meticulous craftsmanship and preparedness. The estate remained unaffected during two major hurricanes, thanks to its top-tier construction and systems, including:
- A GAF roofing system with a 50-year warranty, offering unparalleled durability and protection.
- Strategically placed drain stations throughout the property, which ensured no flooding occurred.
- A Generac system that seamlessly powered both the main residence and guest house 24/7 during extended power outages.
- Solid block with poured cells of concrete/rebar for strength in addition to foam insulation in remaining cells, providing unmatched structural integrity.
“This sale exemplifies resilience, collaboration, and an unwavering commitment to excellence,” said Alejandro Quiel. “From its inception in 2020, this journey has been a testament to enduring customer relationships and determination to achieve a landmark result. Polk County’s luxury market is increasingly captivating discerning buyers, drawn by the area’s unparalleled quality of life and central location. Exceptional estates like this underscore the region’s emergence as a premier destination for sophisticated homeowners.”
