2627 John Anderson Dr Ormond Beach, FL 32176

Welcome to Timeless Elegance and Riverside Luxury. This one-of-a-kind estate is more than a home—it's a narrative woven through history, design, and meticulous craftsmanship. Situated on a high natural dune with sweeping pristine river views, this extraordinary property tells a tale that begins with its origins as part of the Santa Lucia Plantation, chosen by none other than John Anderson for its idyllic setting. The estate's architect aptly dubbed it ''The Mona Lisa'', a masterpiece brought to life by its current owner from the vision of a world-renowned Captain, who poured his passion into creating a fortress-like foundation. Constructed with millions of dollars' worth of concrete and authentic Chicago brick, the property exudes strength, elegance, and nautical charm. Details such as granite medallions inlaid into the exterior, European-inspired rooflines, and nautical-style windows elevate its uniqueness. This is a Grand Estate with endless possibilities spanning multiple parcels, this property offers breathtaking, uninterrupted views of the Tomoka Basin/River and the Intracoastal Waterway, with a buildable 200' x 60' lot and a 340' x 199' parcel for the home itself. From boating adventures to sunset views, every day feels like a vacation. The main home is three stories, with a two story master suite with two bathrooms, three other bedrooms with baths en suite plus five possible living/office/guest areas. There is an attached four car garage. The carriage or guest house is two stories and has a downstairs bedroom or living space, 2 baths, kitchenette, large bonus room with stellar acoustics for a music studio or another separate apartment plus an RV garage measuring 50 x 20 that could easily be converted to living space. This makes the perfect in-law or vacation rental with it's own private patio and room in the back for a pickle ball or tennis court. The third structure is another garage that has 12 feet high ceilings, with a small workshop and could hold two cars, possibly auto lifts and become whatever one imagines. In addition to all of this, there is an outdoor paradise with a resort-style heated pool for you to dive into and swim laps, an expansive travertine patio/pool deck making the perfect outdoor living area with plenty of space for gatherings. The gas rectangular fire wall pit creates the perfect coastal vibe for a cool evening while watching the sunset over the water. Imagine enjoying all of this after a fun day of boating when you park the boat at your own private dock and immediately grill the fish you just caught in the outdoor summer kitchen on the brand new gas grill. The grounds are meticulously landscaped with mature trees to lounge in a hammock, offering privacy and shade. There is plenty of room for parking dozens of cars with a circular drive in the front of the home and all the space in the back area. Paved paths are carved out giving you the feeling of having your very own park. A charming office with separate entrance is right next to the garage for you to hang out your shingle and greet customers keeping work away from the all the areas inside the home that you will create your dream life. One never tires of the views from the chef kitchen, with a free standing 25' gas fireplace made of Austin limestone, Thermador 6 burner gas stove and built-in refrigerator/freezer, a wine refrigerator and ice maker.
