One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Welcome to Hillandale House, an architectural treasure rich in history. This expansive estate, spanning 1.22 acres, features the original structure from 1934, majestically positioned on the shoreline of Golden Trout Lake. This shimmering 10-acre spring-fed lake, once surrounded by a verdant orange grove, now adds to the charm and allure of the property. Designed as a family compound, the estate includes a charming guest house, towering trees, and spacious lawns. In 2016, Hillandale House began a new chapter, rejuvenated and expanded with a blend of age-old charm and modern luxuries. The result is a sprawling farmhouse radiating warmth, perfect for grand gatherings while offering the serenity of a secluded retreat. The main house boasts 5 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and 1 half bath, complemented by an inviting guest cottage with full bath. The welcoming foyer leads to a spacious great room adorned with a coffered ceiling, filled with natural light and offering impressive lake vistas. The adjacent formal dining room and versatile library, which can also serve as a fifth bedroom with a full bath, offer serene lakefront views. A staircase from the dining room ascends to a bedroom with an accompanying full bath. The heart of the home, the kitchen, features generous counter space, a sunlit breakfast alcove, and a traditional farmhouse fireplace. Adjacent to the great room, a private study awaits, perfect for work-from-home days. Upstairs, the owner’s suite with its spacious bath offers sweeping views of the lake and lush lawns, joined by two additional bedrooms and a bath. Connecting the main abode to a capacious 4-car garage is an elegant breezeway patio. Above the garage, an 800 square-foot bonus area beckons, ready to transform into a guest suite or recreational room. A stone’s throw away, the lakeside guest cottage stands as a relic from the 1940s, gracefully reimagined as a studio or ideal home office, now equipped with a brand-new AC for year-round comfort. Every corner of this home, from its custom millwork, craftsman-style trim, to the blend of solid and engineered wood floors, exposed beams, and crown molding, reflects unparalleled attention to detail. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience this timeless masterpiece firsthand. Schedule a viewing and let Hillandale House tell its story.
