The style, elegance and detail of this one-of-a-kind luxury mansion present like something out of a glossy architectural magazine. Countless imported features from Italy, France and Morocco, a gorgeous, gated entrance to the three-acre property, close proximity to the lighthouse on Ponce Inlet (the oldest working lighthouse in Florida), a private pier with deep water dock, 130 feet of private coastal waterfront, and a floating edge pool/spa area that would be the envy of any resort make this a rare Florida east coast jewel.

The most expensive home listed on Ponce Inlet or entire Daytona Beach region at $14 million, the cost to replicate such a home today on waterfront acreage would cost far more. As it is, this property that spares no detail, took five years to build. Including the guest house, this property features six spacious bedrooms, seven bathrooms in the main house and two in the guest house.

With so many elegant features it will be hard to pick a favorite, including:
• The art-lined, brick paved drive up to the property (numerous hand-carved sculptures, all imported from Italy)
• Mosaic tile artwork and sculptures on the Portico and in the multi-story grand foyer (all from Italy)
• Stunning staircase with imported, single piece wrought iron railing
• Hand-sculpted Carrara marble fireplace
• An exotic home office, designed with custom-made furniture pieces imported from Morocco
• A wine cellar featuring 700-year-old cellar doors from France
• A 10-seat movie theater with commissioned paintings of movie stars
• Mahogany doors with African wood inlay and 24-karat gold doorknobs
• Dramatic second floor painted dome ceiling, imported from Italy
• Every bedroom in the main house is an en suite and has its own balcony
• Master suite featuring his and her water closets as well as two spacious walk-in closets
• Breakfast room featuring custom designed marble table and floors that complement the two-story Italian crystal ceiling
• Solid marble columns as well as one inch, open book marble slab flooring

Located at 4852 S. Peninsula Drive on Ponce Inlet Fla., the luxury retreat is located approximately 15 minutes south of Daytona Beach and the convenience of Daytona Beach International Airport. Being in the northern portion of Florida will also make this easier and less congested to access than a Miami property. New Smyrna Beach is a short drive south of the property.
