Speaking to the Orlando Business Journal, realtor Patricia France who represented the lucky buyers stated that:
The buyer was drawn to the home’s privacy and waterfront locale. The home sits on a 12.9-acre lot and borders conserved, undeveloped land owned by The Walt Disney Co., giving the home further seclusion. However, the home still only is a five-minute drive from retail, schools and other amenities. Plus, the estate sits six miles from Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom.
“Sometimes pictures are nice, and the property’s not how you envisioned it…This one was perfect.”
