Description:
A Timeless Waterfront Estate of Historic Distinction
Van Fleet Estates | Lake AriettaSet within the gates of Van Fleet Estates, a private and distinguished waterfront enclave, this architecturally significant lakefront estate embodies the elegance, permanence, and craftsmanship of a bygone era. Gracefully positioned along the shores of Lake Arietta, the residence offers 8,128 square feet of stately living space across an extraordinary 2.31-acre estate grounds , inclusive of an adjacent .43-acre parcel, delivering a rare 300 feet of pristine water frontage.
Inspired by Old World estate architecture, the home is masterfully arranged around a formal central courtyard—a defining element of historic European villas and grand American manor homes. The design evokes a sense of heritage and arrival, with timeless proportions, classical symmetry.
The estate comprises six distinguished bedroom suites, six refined baths, and an elegant powder room. Grand living spaces are bathed in natural light, with expansive lake views framing the serene beauty of Lake Arietta and reinforcing the home’s historic character.
Beyond the interiors, the grounds unfold like a private lakeside manor. A private dock with a 6,500-pound–capacity boat lift extends gracefully into Lake Arietta, offering effortless access to the water for boating, fishing, and sunset cruises.
The owner’s vision behind the home’s historic architectural influence was to create a residence of timeless ambience—one that honors classical design while preserving an enduring legacy. Every element was conceived to transcend trends, ensuring the estate would stand as a place of permanence, refinement, and generational significance for years to come.
Despite its timeless and secluded ambiance, the estate enjoys effortless proximity to modern conveniences:

12 minutes to Grasslands Golf course
10 minutes to private Winter Haven Regional Airport & Lakeland Linder International Airport
13.1 miles to Harry’s Seafood & Grille
17.4 miles to The Loft, renowned for live jazz performances

Perfectly positioned between Tampa and Orlando, the estate offers a rare balance of privacy and accessibility. World-renowned destinations are within easy reach, including LEGOLAND® Florida, just 14.4 miles away, and Walt Disney World® Resort, approximately 29 minutes from the gates. Academic and innovation centers are equally convenient, with Florida Polytechnic University only 13 minutes away, further enhancing the estate’s appeal for both lifestyle and legacy ownership.
