1985 FATIO ROAD DELAND FL 32720 MLS #V4947940

Behind a private double gated entrance, this extraordinary 12.5 acre estate offers a rare blend of privacy, luxury, and natural beauty. Originally purchased as a 2.5 acre homesite, the current owners expanded the property with an additional 10 acres, creating the expansive setting it is today. This added acreage enhances both privacy and long term opportunity, with the potential to subdivide approximately 7 acres into two additional 2.5 acre homesites while still retaining about 5 acres for a private estate. Extensive improvements have been completed in 2020 and beyond, including just a few of the highlights such as the infinity edge pool, summer kitchen with Viking appliances, travertine deck, 3,000 square foot barn with office and full bath, over 10,000 square feet of pavers, Viking gate, fencing, bamboo privacy hedging, professional landscaping, Anderson triple slider glass doors downstairs and upstairs, tree up lighting, and pine tongue and groove ceilings on both the upstairs and downstairs patios. Surrounded by expansive land and scenic views, the property offers potential for agricultural zoning, creating flexibility for equestrian pursuits, recreation, or a private retreat. The five bedroom home with dedicated office and four and a half baths was thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The home features foam insulation, double crown molding throughout, a gourmet kitchen with breakfast nook, formal dining and living rooms, a spacious game room, flex space, and a room ideal for an office or theater. CAT6 and RG6 network wiring is installed throughout. The primary suite offers a fireplace and a spa inspired bath with jetted tub, double vanities, and chandelier. The fireplace is fueled by a dedicated 100 gallon propane tank. Additional features include Anderson hurricane sliding glass doors, reinforced storage beneath the stairs, and upstairs and downstairs patios with pine tongue and groove ceilings. A standout feature is the 3,000 square foot barn built in 2020 with loft, office, full bathroom, plumbing, electrical, mini split systems, epoxy flooring, and extensive outlets. Two 14 by 14 garage doors allow access for large vehicles or equipment. The barn offers flexibility for storage, workshop, equestrian use, event space, or potential wedding venue, with access from both the main gate and service gate off Deerfoot Road. Outdoor living includes an infinity edge pool, spa, and travertine entertaining area with pergola, outdoor shower, and a fully equipped summer kitchen with Viking appliances. The spa heater, grill, side burners, and outdoor features are fueled by a 1,000 gallon underground propane tank. Professional landscaping, tree up lighting, irrigation, bamboo privacy hedging, composite fencing, hurricane fencing, and a Viking powered gate provide both beauty and security. A Bison pump ensures water access during power outages. Wildlife is commonly seen throughout the property, and directly across the street is the 211 acre Lake Beresford Park with trails connecting to Blue Spring State Park. Conveniently located near I-4, shopping, Stetson University, downtown DeLand, and within easy reach of Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach, and Orlando. A rare opportunity offering luxury, privacy, and long term land investment potential in Central Florida.
