Stretching over two-acres of stunning waterfront, this Palladian-inspired estate situated in Fort Myers, Florida, is synonymous with the words ‘opulence’ and ‘privacy’. Complete with its own gated residence that is fully furnished alongside bespoke design features, as well as a berth, a lift, and direct access to the Gulf of Mexico, the property was listed by Christie’s International Real Estate for an astounding $15,950,000.
The main residence’s Palladian design, of which introduced a style reminiscent of the archaic temples of the Ancient Greek and Roman civilizations, was inspired by famed, Venice-born Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio with the use of aesthetically symmetrical lines and ode. In addition, the property also features a wide-range of amenities that were built by utilizing expert craftsmanship in order to turn the entire estate into an aesthetic masterpiece.

To enter the gated estate, which has two private roads, you must drive through a lengthy granite driveway that leads to an exquisite fountain in front of the main residence, where you can then park in a magnificent garage. Once you step past the front door, you will be welcomed by Italian marble floors, Venetian plastering, custom lighting, oversized windows overlooking pristine waters, and an elegant wrought iron staircase. One of the most impressive aspects of the house is its wine cellar that can be better described as an artful showpiece rather than a storage facility. The cellar can harbor around 2,000 bottles enclosed behind a glass screen located right at the dining room’s entry point. And if you are a lover of fine art, you will be excited to know that the house has numerous glass cases to display your extensive art collection.
Rick Moeser, Executive Director of Christie’s International Real Estate, states that: “This home speaks to collectors of all categories—collectibles, wine, sculpture, paintings, and other works of art. It is the perfect canvas, seamlessly incorporating art and architecture. The grounds are meticulously maintained, as you would expect of an estate of this stature. Add to that the recreational options, and this home truly stands apart.”
