Custom estate on two acres in Heritage Forest has an unrivaled outdoor living space
Dive into your own outdoor paradise with this two-acre custom estate in the heart of Ormond Beach.
Sitting on a high ridge in the desirable Heritage Forest community, this home’s fabulous interior beautifully melds with the exterior’s architectural detail that compliments its private park-like setting, including sprawling outdoor verandas and paver patios that surround the one-of-a-kind 8-foot-deep pool with a stunning natural-rock waterfall.
“Outdoor entertaining gets no better than this outdoor living space that rivals all with beauty and function,’’ said Realtor Ryan Adams. “And, with a pass-through window from the kitchen, you have the ideal, poolside living room.”
Offered for the first time by the original owners who custom built it in 1984, they reconstructed the house in 2004 with considerable upgrades and additions.
“The end result is this fabulous home with all of the elements that designers dream of,’’ said Ryan, of Adams, Cameron & Co. Realtors. “Soaring ceilings hover above spectacular oversized glass doors and wide, tall windows enticing natural light to subtly flood the beautiful living spaces while bringing the natural Florida landscape views indoors from nearly every angle.”
A long winding driveway slowly unveils the beauty of this property, which offers complete privacy. The house’s long exaggerated eaves ascend above an inviting covered patio with columns created with native limestone high above the tiered walkway. Enter the front door and the gorgeous open living spaces come into focus.
“The interior designer executed a comfortable everyday home with the perfect combination of luxury and casual touches,’’ Ryan added. “And it all flows together seamlessly to grant the option of entertaining a large crowd or throwing an intimate dinner party in grand style.”
The dining room with service for 12 is the centerpiece of the great-room layout and is adjacent to a handcrafted wet bar that overlooks the intimate octagonal-shaped living room. A three-sided glass fireplace serves as an understated border between the otherwise contiguous spaces. Just beyond, an arched passageway opens to the poolside family room, where French doors flank either side of a second fireplace beneath vaulted ceilings.
The gracious chef-inspired kitchen offers stone countertops, hand-crafted, solid-wood cabinetry and a pass-through service window to the screened verandah.
The private primary suite occupies its own wing, creating the ultimate sanctuary with volume ceilings, a luxurious bath, cavernous closets, a fireplace and access patio and pool.
“The incredibly private pool is ideally tucked into the surrounding gardens and the natural grounds beyond for the ultimate peace and serendipity,’’ exclaimed Ryan. “This truly is a must-see property if there ever was one.”
