Tucked within the sought-after Arbor Lakes community of Odessa, this exceptional residence feels worlds away from the ordinary. Set on an expansive lakefront homesite surrounded by mature trees and lush tropical landscaping, the property has the atmosphere of a private nature preserve, serene, secluded and alive with the sights and sounds of Florida wildlife. The grounds have been lovingly cultivated into a gardener’s sanctuary, planted for the pollinators and food forest friendly, with fruiting avocado, mango, citrus trees, tree spinach, perennial fruits, berries, flowering shrubs and layers of greenery. From the street, a sweeping driveway, graceful architectural details and a portico entrance accented by arched windows create an elegant first impression.
