Behind electronic gates and a newly built guard house, a rare sense of arrival unfolds across 7.61 high and dry acres a private luxury compound that feels worlds away while remaining conveniently connected to Central Florida’s major business, aviation, and lifestyle corridors. With no HOA and no community restrictions, The Estate at Markham Woods offers a level of freedom, privacy, and scale that is increasingly difficult to replicate. Designed as a true estate compound, the property is anchored by a 12,000sf European inspired main residence and supported by a 2,300sf guest house, an 800sf private cottage, and a 5,040sf fully air conditioned car barn with soaring 20ft ceilings. Seventeen garage spaces, RV accommodations, a private fueling station, and helicopter access reflect an exceptional level of infrastructure and versatility rarely found in a single residential offering. The main residence blends architectural presence with everyday livability. Six bedrooms, eight full baths, and three half baths are arranged across two levels and connected by a dramatic curved staircase and private elevator. Five gas fireplaces, stone accents, custom millwork, and designer lighting create a warm yet refined atmosphere throughout. Flexible living spaces include a primary suite with adjacent nanny room, library, private office, hobby studio, game room, upstairs den, gym, two laundry rooms, pet wash station, and a distinctive treehouse-style lounge that offers a unique retreat within the home. At the heart of the residence, the chef’s kitchen overlooks the tropical oasis pool area and is designed for gathering and entertaining,. Featuring Thermador gas cooking, Dacor ovens, SubZero refrigeration, Bosch dishwashers, warming drawers, beverage coolers, custom cabinetry, and an expansive prep island ideal for both daily use and large-scale hosting. Guest accommodations are thoughtfully separate, offering comfort and privacy for multigenerational living or visiting guests. The guest house includes three ensuite bedrooms, a full kitchen, half bath, and two-car garage, while the private cottage provides a bedroom, bath, kitchenette, and laundry ideal for staff, wellness, music studio, or a secluded retreat. Outdoor living mirrors a private resort, with expansive manicured lawns made for entertaining or quiet relaxation, a heated saltwater pool, pavilion, gazebo and family friendly amenities including a zip line and swings for little ones. Two fully fenced dog parks provide safe play areas for furry family members. Wellness offerings extend indoors with a resistance pool, spa, and steam shower for year-round enjoyment. The air conditioned car barn is a standout feature, offering 20ft ceilings, office suite, kitchenette, half bath, and capacity for ten or more vehicles, complemented by a covered RV bay with water and electric hookups, flexible event space, and helicopter pad. Recent upgrades ensure the estate is turnkey and built for long-term ownership, including fiber-optic gigabit internet, five new generators, sixteen new HVAC systems, three new water heaters, new roofs on the guest house, cottage, and car barn, and a newly screened front porch. Ideally located near major highways and private airports, The Estate at Markham Woods represents a rare legacy level opportunity for buyers seeking a secure, private luxury compound with unmatched acreage, infrastructure, and accessibility in one of Florida’s most desirable regions.
