Property Description
Welcome to an extraordinary lakefront retreat where space, character, and spectacular water views come together on beautiful Lake Rosa in Melrose, Florida. This one-of-a-kind property offers not just one exceptional home, but two residences, creating an incredible opportunity for a large family, multigenerational living, guests, or those looking for a private lakefront getaway with additional space on an expansive 9.2 acres. The magnificent main residence offers an impressive 5,187 square feet of heated and cooled living space, featuring 4 bedrooms and 4 1/2 bathrooms. From the moment you drive onto the property, you will feel you have entered a park with the beautifully manicured grounds, which include 1000 planted, mature camellias. Once inside the main house you will take in vaulted ceilings and the expansive and breathtaking lake views that set the tone for relaxed lakefront living. You'll find wonderful spaces designed for both entertaining and everyday enjoyment, including two loft areas, a cozy fireplace, wet bar, and a wine cellar—perfect for evenings spent with friends and family after a day on the lake. The generous living spaces provide plenty of room to spread out while still maintaining the warm, inviting feel you'd expect from a true lake home. The outside decks from this home give over 3000 sq ft of additional space to enjoy the outdoors from many rooms and levels of the home. And then there's the second residence, offering an additional 2,496 square feet of heated and cooled living space, with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Complete with its own deck overlooking the lake, this separate home is ideal for guests, extended family, a caretaker, or anyone who wants their own private space while still being just steps from all the lakefront fun. With a combined 7,683 square feet of heated and cooled living space and 6 total bedrooms, this is far more than a home—it's a lakefront lifestyle and an opportunity that's hard to duplicate. Imagine morning coffee with the lake as your backdrop, afternoons enjoying the water from your private dock and evenings gathered around the fireplace or relaxing on the deck as the day winds down. Whether you're looking for a spectacular full-time residence, a weekend escape, or a property designed for entertaining generations of family and friends, this one delivers the space, setting, and character to make lake memories for years to come. Come experience the magic of Lake Rosa for yourself—this is lake living with room for everyone!
