An Extraordinary Residence In The Most Serene Setting
Tucked under majestic Live Oaks on a secluded cove of Red Maple Lake in the Amelia Island Plantation, sits a stunning residence in the most serene setting on the island. This 7,000 square foot estate rests on two lots that span a peninsula with over 350 feet of lake frontage surrounding three sides of the property. Unrivaled in its privacy, the grounds of the estate unfold into a park-like setting with palm and oak trees shading a grass lawn that rolls to the water’s edge The residence, thoroughly renovated in 2019, is a showcase of design ingenuity. A harmonious blend between the vintage charm of its original 1980's architecture and present-day style, gives this home an elegant and confident character Nowhere else is there an opportunity as unique and extraordinary as the combination of this breathtaking natural setting and this stunningly renovated home.
