Description

This is not just a home. It is a statement. Of craftsmanship. Of permanence. Of unapologetic luxury. Poised on the waterfront in Highland Lakes, this one-of-a-kind contemporary masterpiece was custom built over 18 meticulous months by renowned builder Joey Yesso—known for his obsessive attention to detail and legacy of excellence among the region’s most discerning homeowners. Step inside to Italian marble flooring sourced from the quarries of Northern Italy, with each piece cut and polished to reflect light and depth. Floor-to-ceiling windows soar 24 feet in the great room, framing endless lake views and flooding the home with natural light. At the heart of the home, vertically book-matched cherry cabinetry and Brazilian Labradorite countertops—a deeply rare stone known for its black surface that shifts into vibrant blue and green iridescence in the light. A Murano glass chandelier imported from Venice anchors the entryway with timeless elegance. The kitchen, hallway, guest suite, and laundry feature porcelain flooring outlined in marble—luxurious underfoot and visually striking. Mahogany treads lead to the second floor, where rich wood flooring, custom closets, built-ins, a balcony with panoramic lake views, and a climate-controlled storage room await. The primary suite is a private retreat with cathedral ceilings, dual custom closets, full sound insulation, and a spa-caliber bath adorned with sealed travertine floors and tiger maple cabinetry—ordered fivefold to select only the finest cuts. With steel rods every 18 inches from foundation to roof, 50-year architectural shingles, top-tier hurricane insulation, and a 30 kW water-cooled generator, this home offers unmatched peace of mind. Finished garage, two tankless water heaters, fully equipped gym or media room, and Sonos system throughout complete the package. There is luxury. And then there is this. This home doesn’t follow trends. It sets them. And it was built for the kind of buyer who does the same.
