Single Family Residence In Sorrento

Virtually Staged. Owner-designed, permitted & built to Code Plus-Plus structural standards that far
exceed Florida building code — this extraordinary 6BR/4BA equestrian estate on 10.5
protected acres is a rare convergence of fortress-level construction, generational land
value, multiple income streams, and irreplaceable natural surroundings. Whether you are
an equestrian, an investor, a multigenerational family, or someone seeking true self-
sufficiency, this property delivers. It is just looking for a discerning Buyer ready to put in
their personal designer touch.
Nearly 9,000 SF under the roof encompassing 4,884 SF under heat/air: main floor
residence (2,472 SF) with 2 bedrooms and 3 kitchens; private 3BR/1BA upstairs
apartment with soaring vaulted ceilings and full kitchen (1,758 SF); and a studio
apartment (560 SF) perfect for a farm hand or even AIRBNB. Additional space includes a
1,344 SF unfinished first floor (48’x28’), a 1,200 SF 4-car built-in garage and workshop
(30x40), 864 SF of above-garage storage (24’x36’), and a 1,600 SF covered
concrete wrap-around porch (160’x10’). A 2-space carport on the western side easily
converts to 3-space by removing the 36’ wood picket rail. Total bedrooms: 2 on the first
floor, 3 on the second, and 1 in the studio — 6 bedrooms total.
Construction upgrades include 2x8 South Yellow Pine pressure-treated exterior framing,
5/8” CDX plywood sheathing, R-26 exterior wall insulation, R-30 between floors, R-38
roof insulation, and R-19 interior wall insulation for exceptional energy efficiency and
sound reduction. 5/8” drywall on all ceilings (1/2” on walls), Class 5 commercial floor
tiles, and DuraRock shower walls with R-30 felt membrane. The commercial-grade 26-
gauge metal roof features a double membrane, continuous ridge vent, and 50-year
asphalt shingles — earning the highest wind mitigation rating available in Florida. The
result: homeowners’ insurance of just $3,400/year while neighboring properties pay
$5,000–$9,000 annually. Two-zone Lennox R-454B A/C units replaced August 2025.
400-amp buried electric service with buried lines to both lots.

Ispring whole-house water treatment system installed November 2025, and gravity flow

equestrian operation has 19 years of continuous boarding history. The permitted 110-
MPH wind load-rated barn has 11 stalls — board at current capacity generating
