Winter Park, FLA. (April 8, 2022) — Casa del Mondo, known as House of the World, an exceptional Winter Park estate owned by prominent area couple, Sharon and Marc Hagle, has entered the market for $15.9 million. Located at 1220 North Park Avenue in the exclusive Twelve Oaks peninsula, the Mediterranean masterpiece is positioned on 4 acres boasting a spectacular view of Lake Maitland and the chain of lakes. The lakefront listing is marketed exclusively by Alison Mosley of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty’s Winter Park office; view the listing details here. All proceeds from the sale in excess of $12 million will be donated to the University of Central Florida.
The Hagles recently completed a space flight with Blue Origin’s New Shepard NS-20 in Van Horn, Texas. Sharon Hagle is the founder of SpaceKids Global, developed with a mission to inspire STEAM+ Environment Education and the goal of bringing the possibility of space to children. Marc Hagle serves as the CEO of an international property company, Tricor International, one of the largest real estate developers in the country.
Built in 2003, the one-of-a-kind residence was originally designed with architectural features from around the world. A gated stone-paved driveway lined with lush palms, bamboo and multiple live oak trees welcomes guests into 16,608 square feet of luxury interior living. Exceptional appointments and unique elements abound — from a dining room fireplace seen while visiting the Kremlin Palace in Russia to the award-winning media room featured on ABC’s Good Morning America. The home’s birdcage elevator is a duplication of the one built by Otis Elevator Company and installed in 1896 at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina. A chef’s kitchen is crafted with professional amenities that include a commercial salamander oven. The guesthouse features a separate entrance from a gated service drive integrated into the residence.
An outdoor oasis is highlighted by a heated pool and spa with LED lighting showcasing four waterfalls; one is a two-story waterfall from the master bath, designed and installed by artisans from Disney. A stone bridge over a tiered koi pond separates the house and air-conditioned open cabana which offers an outdoor kitchen, wood-burning pizza oven and a grill surrounded by hand-painted tiles by Cuban artist Fuster that the Hagles personally brought out of Havana. A boathouse includes docking for a boat and two Jet Skis. The service driveway in the back of the home is equipped with additional motor court parking while the front includes a dedicated gated guest entrance and paver circular drive for ease of entertaining.
“This extraordinary residence offers a luxurious lakefront lifestyle," said Alison Mosley. "Blending unmatched privacy, a timeless design and resort-style amenities, its captivating views, impressive list of out-of-this-world features and prime location will appeal to the discerning buyer seeking the ultimate in Winter Park living.”
