And for those looking to sneak off and get away from it all while still remaining in their home, there is a hidden room located in the lounge that is purposely designed to be in the very quietest part of the house; it’s currently being used as an office, but obviously it can be transformed to suit any purpose needed, such as a secret man-cave for example.
The house comes in at an impressive three stories; the owner’s suite is on the third floor, accessed by a dual staircase, and has a private terrace, two large closets, and a bathroom.
There’s also a vast array of resort style amenities to offer, including a sauna, a steam room, a gym, and a tennis court. In the backyard you’ll find a heart-shaped pool and a hot tub, both with extensive ocean views.
The guesthouse is no slouch either, with a kitchen, dining room, open living room, primary suite, guest bedroom, a large screened-in terrace and an open deck with a dock below; the dock leads to Heron Lagoon, which is the perfect location for a number of relaxing and fun water activities, such as fishing, kayaking, canoeing, paddleboarding, and more.
