An Italian Tuscan-inspired estate in a luxury SW Florida community made history, selling for a record-breaking $13.25 million.
The luxurious Mediterra community is in both Lee and Collier counties, while the property itself is in Lee County.
Inside the neighborhood, 28970 Il Cuore Court now holds the title of the highest-priced home ever sold in the community.
The house, designed and built by London Bay Homes in 2017, is a masterclass in luxury craftsmanship. Spanning nearly two private acres and surrounded by a serene 50-acre preserve, the property offers a sense of seclusion and grandeur.
Stepping through the grand entrance, visitors are greeted by a two-story rotunda foyer and Venetian plaster walls. Marble flooring and a curved staircase blend charm with modern luxury.
The estate unfolds into a collection of meticulously designed spaces, each capturing the essence of Naples' coveted indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
The primary suite serves as a sanctuary, while the chef’s kitchen with bespoke finishes flows into an inviting family room. Vaulted wood-beamed ceilings add to the character, leading out to a central courtyard paved with Chicago brick and surrounded by Italian gardens and citrus trees.
Beyond the main residence is a detached guest house, featuring a full kitchen, a spacious living area and two en-suite bedrooms. The estate’s outdoor spaces are designed for entertaining and relaxation.
The resort-style pool pavilion holds a fully equipped kitchen, a 54-inch Viking grill, a pool bath and an expansive covered great room with automated screens and shutters. The mosaic-tiled pool is accompanied by a natural gas fire pit and a 14-person spa.
“This sale is a defining moment for Naples' luxury real estate market,” said Dan Guenther, Sam Heitman and Melissa Williams. “It elevates the standard of excellence within Mediterra and reaffirms its place as one of the region’s most sought-after communities.”
With its blend of architectural brilliance, sophisticated design and resort-like amenities, this record-breaking estate sets a new benchmark for luxury living in Southwest Florida.
