Welcome to one of the most iconic homes in Southern Hills Plantation, a stunning custom-built luxury estate positioned along the Pete Dye Championship Golf Course with sweeping pond and fairway views in the front and a private preserve behind. This extraordinary residence has become one of the signature homes within the community and offers an unmatched combination of architectural presence, craftsmanship, and resort-style living.

This expansive two-story home features 5 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, formal living and dining rooms, a large family room, dedicated office space, additional flex/yoga room, private elevator, and an incredible 7-car garage configuration that is nearly impossible to find in Southern Hills.

The welcoming wraparound front porch creates unforgettable curb appeal and sets the tone for the elegance found throughout the home. Inside, custom finishes immediately stand out including beautiful wood flooring, extensive millwork, plantation shutters, soaring ceilings, elegant wainscoting, designer lighting, and spacious open living areas filled with natural light. French doors throughout create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

The chef’s kitchen was designed for entertaining and daily living alike, featuring marble and granite countertops, double ovens, custom cabinetry, oversized prep areas, dedicated coffee station, walk-in pantry with water line for an additional ice maker, spacious mud room, and oversized laundry area.

Adding warmth and character throughout the home are three fireplaces, including two gas fireplaces—one being a dramatic double-sided centerpiece—as well as an additional wood-burning fireplace.

One of the home’s standout features is the private elevator, offering convenience, luxury, and long-term practicality. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a private retreat complete with spa-inspired bath areas, an extraordinary “Queen’s Closet” with sink and makeup station, and a separate oversized men’s walk-in closet. Every bedroom features its own walk-in closet.

The home is fully wired as a smart home with every room hardwired for internet connectivity. Additional smart features include app-controlled above-cabinet lighting, backyard safety lighting, adjustable landscape lighting timers, and hot/cold water hookups on both the lanai and near the maintenance garage door.

The outdoor living experience rivals a private resort with an expansive screened pool area featuring multiple entertaining spaces, grilling areas, sunshelf, and a dramatic 10-foot-deep pool. The fully fenced backyard opens to a peaceful preserve setting with no rear neighbors. Car enthusiasts and entertainers will appreciate the massive 7-car garage offering endless possibilities for a workshop, golf simulator, theater space, gym, game room, or showcase collection.

Additional highlights include approximately 6,000 square feet of professionally cleaned, re-sanded, and sealed pavers completed in December 2025 and a brand-new roof installed in February 2026.

Located within the gated Southern Hills Plantation Club, residents enjoy access to the Pete Dye Championship Golf Course, elegant clubhouse, resort-style pool, poolside dining, tennis and pickleball courts, fitness center, spa services, walking trails, and a true country club lifestyle approximately 50 minutes from Tampa International Airport.
