The plantation home, built in 2004, includes 21 Tuscan columns with 14 ft. ceilings, 8 ft. doors and features two wings. Each room is a masterpiece of style and good taste perfectly appointed and yet comfortable enough to live in. The exterior walls are poly-steel framing, which is energy efficient insulating concrete forms, covered with brick. This, coupled with steel I-beams that tie the foundation to the roof, makes the home a fortress against storms.

There is also a children's room and a study. A series of double doors leads to colonnaded galleries at the rear of the first and second floors, which overlook the two lakes and guest cabin. The second wing contains a heated lap pool, summer kitchen and full bath. Natural gas serves all three fireplaces, the grill and stove in the main house, as well as the summer kitchen by the pool and the heated pool itself.
