This amazing custom home, just completed in Dec 2019, has some jaw-dropping features you’re unlikely to see anywhere else on the Cape Haze Peninsula.

It’s a virtual fortress. The sellers were granted a government variance to locate it on a private parcel surrounded on 3 sides by a 43,000 acre state preserve, providing exceptional privacy in perpetuity.

The huge 1,782 SqFt garage measures 33’ wide by 54’ deep. It includes a towering 54’ deep RV bay with 12’ x 14’ doors on both ends, allowing you to drive your RV’s, boats, trailers, etc. through 1 door and out the other. That means you’ll never need to back up! The garage also features a large, air-conditioned workshop, tons of storage, and a designer Elevator.

An expansive system of extra-wide, reinforced concrete driveways encircle the home. They are all interconnected and provide 4 distinct, RV-sized parking areas. They include the drive-through garage, a covered parking pad under the 240 SqFt elevated porch, the north driveway, and the south driveway. There is also room for a smaller, 5th RV in east wing of the garage.

This home is an architectural marvel. It exceeds current building codes by huge margins resulting in a virtual fortress with incredible energy efficiency.

It has an amazing 200+ MPH rating with garage doors rated at 225 MPH. All doors and windows are impact-rated & Low E glass.

Additional fortifications include a metal roof, Hardi Board (cement) and ZIP insulated exterior panels, 6” x 6” studs, 16-inch screws (!), and on-center attachments that exceed code. Insulation was increased to 8” on the roof and floors with 6” on the walls. The exterior Hardi Board paneling is renowned as the gold standard due to its durability, strength, aesthetics, and near-zero maintenance.
 

This home is so energy efficient that on a morning when the outside temperature dipped to 47 degrees, the home maintained 73 degrees without the heater ever coming on. Due to the exceptional insulation properties of this home, the $16,000 Carrier Xfinity A/C system reports the average cost of cooling or heating this home throughout the year is less than a $1 a day!

The interior is accentuated with exciting architectural highlights you won’t find anywhere else. That’s because they were custom designed, sculptured, and hand-crafted specifically for this home. They include incredibly gorgeous, hand-made counter tops that defy imagination. They are original creations that resemble marbled granite or quartz, yet stretch and curve seamlessly around the entire width of the kitchen. The same innovative counters cover a huge island that seats 12.

Other high-end interior features include cherry wood cabinetry, soaring ceilings with strategically-placed accent lights to showcase art, mahogany lead-glass doors, a mahogany elevator, diagonal engineered hardwood flooring, designer fixtures, and the on-demand hot water heater.

The home office has been pre-configured for easy conversion to a 3rd bedroom.

A wonderful place to enjoy the outdoor beauty, privacy, and wildlife that surrounds you is the 40’ x 12’ screened porch that is easily accessible via glass sliders. These oversized sliders bring the natural beauty of the outdoors and soft natural light inside, and slide open to allow the subtropical breezes, fragrances, and sounds of nature to flow indoors.
