🏛 Step Into a Piece of Florida History
In the 1920s, a visionary millionaire designed gardens here inspired by the world-famous Bok Tower Gardens just minutes away. In 1959, one of the Hunts Brothers of Florida’s Natural made this his dream home, adding to its charm and character.
Today, the gardens are being lovingly restored, and you’re welcome to stroll shaded paths, enjoy seasonal blooms, and take in tranquil lake views from the balconies. This home blends historic character with comfortable modern living — a unique place to relax, recharge, and connect with Florida’s past.
