the primary suite is a private sanctuary. awaken surrounded by glass with endless lake views, enjoy a quiet fire in the sitting area, and retreat to a spa-like bath with soaking tub, dual vanities, walk-in shower and dual toilets and closets. a private loft above the suite is perfect for a yoga space, reading nook, or morning meditation room. upstairs, every bedroom has its own ensuite bath, and one suite includes its own kitchen and dedicated entrance — ideal for long-term guests, an au pair, or multi-generational living. another bedroom boasts its own private balcony for sunset watching over the lake.
outdoor living also makes this home unforgettable. terraced decks run the length of the house with space for lounging, dining, and hosting. a built-in bar invites sunset cocktails as the upper waterfall spills down into the resort-style saltwater pool below. the pool is complete with a grotto, swim-up bar, waterfall, and stone patio — the kind of outdoor space that feels like a boutique resort. a full outdoor kitchen and cabana with bath and shower make entertaining effortless. additional details include a 3-car garage, solar-tinted windows, electric sunshades, hurricane shutters, and a 100-year tile roof. thoughtful updates include a new retention wall, improved drainage, and fencing. located in the etj with no city permitting required, there is room to make this property your own — add a wine cellar, convert the cabana to a guest house, or even install an elevator from the garage. 12600 lyndon dr isn’t just a house — it’s a retreat, a statement, and an invitation to slow down and savor once-in-a lifetime views.
