About this home
One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. The Estate at Markham Woods. Set behind private electronic gates and a guarded entry, a rare sense of arrival unfolds across more than seven acres of secluded, high and dry landscape in the heart of Markham Woods. Here, architecture, land, and infrastructure converge to create something far beyond a residence, a fully realized, multi generational compound designed for those who value ultimate security, complete privacy, and a deeply personal expression of luxury living. This is not simply a home. It is a sanctuary. The main residence, spanning nearly 18,000 total square feet with over 11,000 square feet under air, is a study in European inspired elegance and enduring craftsmanship. Six bedrooms and ten baths are thoughtfully arranged to balance grand scale entertaining with intimate, everyday living. A sweeping staircase, private elevator, and curated architectural moments create a sense of quiet sophistication, while spaces like the library, gym, spa retreat, and hidden garden offer a more personal rhythm of life. Beyond the main residence, the estate reveals itself as a true compound. A fully independent guest house, a private cottage ideal for staff or extended family, and a climate controlled car barn with soaring ceilings create a layered environment where generations can gather, yet remain entirely self contained. Whether hosting, retreating, or simply living, every structure has been designed with purpose and discretion. Security here is not an afterthought, it is foundational. A guard house with full amenities, integrated systems, data infrastructure, multiple generators, this offers a sense of confidence and continuity. This is a property built not only for comfort, but for resilience. A private helipad further elevates both security and accessibility, offering a seamless connection to business, leisure, and global travel. Outdoors, the estate transforms into a private resort environment. Multiple pools, spa experiences, expansive lawns, and curated gathering spaces create an atmosphere equally suited for large scale entertaining or quiet family moments. Even the youngest members of the household are considered, with playful elements woven seamlessly into the landscape, reinforcing the estate’s identity as a true family legacy property. And yet, despite its complete seclusion, the estate remains remarkably connected. Within minutes, you are positioned at the center of everything that defines Central Florida living. Downtown Orlando, the region’s top private and public schools, and the area’s most important roadways including the I-4 express lanes are all easily accessible. Orlando International Airport, Orlando Executive Airport, and Sanford International Airport provide effortless travel options, while world class golf, the Dr. Phillips Performing Arts Center, Kia Center, Camping World Stadium, and Inter and Co Stadium place culture and entertainment within immediate reach. The beaches and theme parks are equally within your orbit, close enough for spontaneity, yet far enough to preserve the estate’s sense of calm. This is the rare balance. A property where one can live completely private, completely secure, and completely immersed in luxury, while remaining connected to everything that matters. For those seeking not just a home, but a generational legacy compound defined by discretion, scale, and intention, this is a singular opportunity in Central Florida.
