This stunning custom built Orlando villa is perfectly placed to be the perfect home for your magical vacation. It is situated on one of the most desirable lakefront lots in the prestigious gated and walled community of Formosa Gardens Estates. The community is 2 miles, being 5-8 minutes from the entrance to Walt Disney World and less than a mile to the nearest golf course. Shops, restaurants, banks, and mini golf are all in close proximity.
At over 7200 sq ft of under cover space of which 5800 sq ft is air conditioned space, there is more than enough room for even the largest family gathering to have their own personal space. The non-smoking and pet free villa accommodates 16 people and has 7 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, large family room, large screen theater/cinema, kitchen, two dining areas, purpose built games room/2nd living area, double garage and a large private sun deck and pool.
This home comprises of a grand master suite, and three additional master bedrooms, all of which have a king bed, bathroom and state of the art large screen wall mounted high definition TV with cable and Blu-ray DVD player.
Two further bedrooms are twin rooms of which one has its own bathroom and the last bedroom being a twin bunk room, with the remaining twin room and the bunk bed room sharing a bathroom. Each of these bedrooms has a wall mounted TV with cable TV, and a playstation 3 games console.
The living area boasts an enormous state of the art 65 inch full high definition LCD TV connected to HD Cable and a Blu-ray player. All the master bedrooms have a minimum of a 46 inch LCD screen, with the grand master suite benefiting from a 52 inch screen.
If size is important to you, then treat yourself to the latest movie in the theater which for the technically minded has a 103 inch screen, full high definition projector, Blu-ray/ HD-DVD player & dolby 7.1 surround sound. For the ultimate comfort and luxury, the seating is out of this world with seven leather seats each having recline and foot support.
The games room is purpose built and is therefore not your usual garage make-over, and as such the room is light and airy which makes it a place you actually want to spend time in. The room is equipped with a 8ft slate pool table and 7ft air hockey table, in addition to a living area, TV and wet bar. Double doors lead out onto the amazing pool deck.
If the interior hasn't given you the wow factor you require to spend your vacation at this villa, then the pool and sun deck will truly amaze you! The screened sun deck is a massive 88ft x 42ft and has the best uninterrupted view of Star Lake where you will see plenty of birds fly over and paddle. As you would expect of a villa of this stature, it has an ample supply of upholstered pool furniture, including sun loungers and reclining chairs. Even the most hardy sun worshipper will need to shade from the harsh Florida sun at some point during the day, for which we have provided an extensive shaded lanai which has large cooling fans and dining table and chairs. For your convenience within the screened area we have provided a covered summer kitchen containing an enormous gas BBQ, 2 burners, sink, refrigerator and ice maker. A bathroom and shower are located off the lanai.
The upstairs balcony is accessed from the grand master suite and from other parts of the house via the landing. The balcony is cooled by large fans and is an ideal spot due to its elevated location.

Why the Owner Chose Formosa Gardens
We selected Formosa Gardens due to its close promity to Disney, and the enormous lots that each home is built on. Out of all the homes we looked at within Formosa Gardens this one stuck out as being perfect for our needs. It had the perfect lake view, in a peaceful quiet part of the estate.
The Unique Benefits at this Villa
Our home is the perfect home away from home. It provides everything you would ever need in a vacation home, as well as providing state of the art technology in every room as well as luxury at every turn. Our pool and deck area is gigantic compared to other vacation homes, and has received raive reviews from guests as well as other owners.
Owner's Map of Formosa Gardens
Hi, we’re Paul and Rachel Sharrock and we live in Bolton, United Kingdom and we have two children Ben and Katie, aged 11 and 9. For those of you that do not know the UK very well, Bolton is located near Manchester, which is about 200 miles north of London.
We fell in love with Disney during our honeymoon and have been back nearly every year since then. We bought our home in 2006, after spending many years first staying in hotels and then subsequently renting villas off other owners.
