Property Description
Welcome to 812 Sweetwater Club Boulevard, one of Central Florida's most extraordinary private estates, where architectural excellence, remarkable history, and absolute privacy converge.
Designed by the world-renowned architectural firm HHCP and constructed over seven years for Harold Mertz, billionaire founder of Publishers Clearing House, this exceptional compound represents a rare legacy of luxury and distinction. Reportedly having hosted presidents, international dignitaries, private concerts, and philanthropic gatherings, the estate offers a remarkable history of distinguished entertaining.
Privately situated on approximately 11.21 acres within the Sweetwater Club community, the property is approached by a secluded quarter-mile driveway, creating an extraordinary sense of arrival and complete privacy. Surrounded by mature trees, lush landscaping, ornamental koi ponds, and a breathtaking private spring-fed lake, this secluded sanctuary offers an atmosphere of serenity rarely found in Central Florida.
The estate features 9 bedrooms, 12 full bathrooms, 1 half bathroom, and 14,623 square feet in the main residence, with additional guest accommodations bringing the compound to nearly 17,000 square feet. Designed for both grand entertaining and comfortable private living, the residence showcases expansive gathering spaces, a magnificent two-story library, elevator, and bulletproof glass throughout.
The resort-inspired outdoor amenities include a spectacular swimming pool and spa, professional tennis and pickleball court, panoramic lake views, beautifully maintained grounds, and multiple spaces for outdoor entertaining. A separate guest house provides additional accommodations for family and visitors, while an eight-car garage offers exceptional space for an automobile collection.
Every element of this extraordinary property reflects a commitment to privacy, security, comfort, and timeless sophistication. Whether hosting intimate gatherings, welcoming distinguished guests, or enjoying peaceful moments overlooking the spring-fed lake, the estate offers an unparalleled residential experience.
Conveniently located near premier golf courses, fine dining, upscale shopping, and Orlando's major destinations, this remarkable property combines the exclusivity of a secluded private compound with the convenience of a premier Central Florida address.
More than a residence, this is a piece of history. A private sanctuary. An extraordinary legacy awaiting its next chapter.
