ST. CLOUD, FLA. (July 13, 2022) — A serene waterfront mansion and adjacent acreage with guesthouse has sold for a combined $5.975 million, the highest-priced sale ever recorded in St. Cloud. Overlooking Lake Lizzie, the estate at 1895 Pine Grove Road is positioned on 5 acres with 500 feet of water frontage; the separate property at 1795 Pine Grove Road boasts a guesthouse on 17 acres of land. The listings were marketed exclusively by Miranda Cady of Premier Sotheby’s International Realty’s Southeast Orlando office. 

With 930 feet of shoreline on a recreational lake across from a 1,000-acre nature preserve, the land at 1795 Pine Grove Road features a five-bedroom, three-bath guesthouse, stables/casita and direct access to the Alligator Chain of Lakes. Purchased by a Canadian developer, plans are in place to divide the acreage and develop a new community. 

Encompassing over 9,000 square feet of luxury living space, the Spanish Mediterranean-style residence at 1895 Pine Grove Road is carefully crafted with elegant finishes and an array of distinctive architectural elements. A winding drive welcomes guests into the home’s split floor plan highlighted by a grand two-story foyer and 26-foot cathedral ceilings. From an impressive floor-to-ceiling cleft-edge sandstone fireplace in the great room to an opulent owners’ suite showcasing Emperador marble, cleft-edge sandstone and ivory travertine — meticulous attention to detail is evident throughout. The inviting chef’s kitchen is lined with state-of-the-art appliances, full butler’s pantry and a walk-in pantry. Additional outstanding appointments include a theater space as well as a game room and fitness area capturing wide water lakefront vistas.  

An expansive entertainment foyer opens to a tropical backyard oasis complete with shimmering pool, waterslide, waterfalls and circular fire pit. A private boat dock provides direct access to the 12-lake Chain of Lakes only moments from the famous attractions and amenities of Central Florida. The property is also equipped with a three-car garage.

“This unique residential offering was subdivided for optimal value which ultimately commanded a combined significant sale price, shattering the record previously set by the same property," said Miranda Cady. "Both listings secured international buyers — an indication of the heightened interest and strong demand for Orlando area real estate in one of the fastest-growing counties in the nation.”
