One of the most significant private estates ever built in Florida and the U.S., The Oaks Estate is an extraordinary 87-acre lakefront compound on Lake Thonotosassa, with arrival by seaplane or helicopter. Ideally located 10 min. to the executive airport and 20 min to Tampa, this authentic French Normandy château offers unmatched scale, privacy, and permanence. A 36-acre stone-walled compound anchors the estate, complemented by a 51-acre greenbelt reserve. Entry begins at a gas lamp–lit guardhouse, leading beneath mature oaks to a grand arrival of fountains and a limestone-clad residence. The 42,782 SF home showcases exceptional craftsmanship in stonework, and millwork, featuring hand-scraped French oak floors in Versailles and herringbone patterns. The grand salon with pillowtop limestone floors, opens through a gallery of 12ft arched mahogany doors to terraces framed by solid limestone columns, an architectural feat rarely seen in residential setings. The culinary wing features bespoke La Cornue Cheateau appliances, a butler’s kitchen, and family room.The Oak Room lounge offers a full service bar, wine storage, limestone fireplace and concealed theater.
