MAKE AN ENTRANCE La Casa de Leon makes a statement from the moment it is first viewed and that statement is magnified at its grand columned entry way reminiscent of the gilded-age homes of Newport and the stately villas of Tuscany. Cast stone details vie for attention with the magnificent ironwork adorning the doors and entry lanterns. The home’s Mediterranean style creates a solid, yet inviting, feeling of warmth and assures all who enter that life inside may be lived “as it should be�.

GRANDEUR. Endless hand-selected travertine and marble floorings are accented with mosaic and stone details. Keyed archways and alcoves provide a subtle transition between the wonderfully apportioned rooms entered through solid mahogany doorways. Thoughtful pairings of exotic marbles, stone, and custom fixtures are evident throughout the home and feature prominently in the chef’s kitchen, formal dining area, and the home’s many baths. Extensive, yet subtle, faux-finish paintwork brings a sense of depth and provides the wondrous illusion of age…tying the home’s many rooms together and giving Casa de Leon a sense of history far beyond its youth.

OPULENCE.

Endless views of sun and water bathe the interior spaces with natural light. Nowhere is this more evident than in the formal living room with its imposing stone fireplace with graceful chimney work arching over 20 feet to the ceiling or in the expansive “Gathering Room” which boasts nearly 270 degree water views.

FOR THE GOURMET Located just off the “Gathering Room” is the gourmet kitchen worthy of a Michelin Star chef. Floor to ceiling custom hardwood cabinetry is accented with water inspired art-glass created to mimic the gentle ripples of John’s Lake visible from the room’s over-sized gallery window.

CRAFTSMANSHIP. Detailed hand-wrought ornamental iron railings, finished in a powder bronze, grace the majestic stone staircase and extend, on both sides, forming a “floating bridge� connecting the upperlevel rooms and providing a dramatic overlook to the formal spaces below.
PERSONAL RETREATS La Casa de Leon features both first floor and upper-level master suites boasting sumptuous en suite baths, his-and-hers walk-in closets, and exceptional water views. The addition of a second lavish suite allows visiting guests to experience La Casa de Leon in much the same fashion as her owners-an indulgence that certainly will not go unnoticed! The thoughtful installation of “Morning Bars� allow quick and stylish access to refreshments without having to journey. As is the case throughout the home attention to even the smallest design detail is evident at every turn in these tranquil and restorative retreats.

Your collection of rare books and first editions are sure to impress when housed in the rich dark-wood custom-installed cabinetry that extends seamlessly from floor to matching coffered ceiling.

NATURE SURROUNDS YOU. In so many of today’s larger homes little attention is paid to a home’s exterior amenities. Such is not the case with La Casa de Leon, whose expansive and well planned exterior spaces effortlessly connect the home’s interior with the natural beauty of the surrounding lake-front. The home’s two levels of covered exterior patios, totaling nearly 11,150 square feet, are beautifully bounded by rows of cast-stone columns featuring Corinthian capitals that form a dazzling pattern of intricate shadows as the sun sets to the west. The columns channel the ever-present breezes from the lake toward
seating areas perfect for alfresco dining or a late evening glass of wine and stand guard between the home and the stunning 55 foot infinity edge pool which is punctuated by fire-bowls and the melodic sounds of water as it gently falls from sight. These spaces were designed with entertaining in mind with lanais perfect for dancing and a discretely located summer kitchen. La Casa de Leon’s lower patio and lanai alone can easily accommodate up to 200 guests to join you in celebration or escape down the dock to the boathouse and chart a course for adventure on the water.

ABOUT DEER ISLAND Deer Island is an exclusive gated community of custom homes located on a peninsula surrounded by John’s Lake. At over 2,400 acres, John’s Lake is unique in its size and rugged shoreline creating many coves and points. A boater’s paradise, the lake includes excellent bass fishing and opportunities to engage in a myriad of water sports. John’s Lake connects to several other lakes, making it a chain of lakes--the only chain of lakes in West Orange county where it is permitted for seaplanes to land and takeoff. Several residents own and operate their own aircraft. The wetlands surrounding the island are also home to endangered wildlife including Florida Bobcats, Sandhill Cranes, Blue Cranes and Bald Eagles.
