The Oaks is a magnificent
sprawling country estate just east
of Tampa on Lake Thonotosassa
situated amid manicured
gardens surrounded by more than 600
mature oaks and imported Italian cypress
trees. The property includes the main
residence, a two-story guest house, a
state-of-the-art workshop, a garage that
can hold up to 20 cars, a horse barn with
a grazing pasture, a two-story boat
house and a 1-mile jogging trail. Four
contiguous properties were acquired
to form this 36-acre estate that has 1,278
feet of lake frontage.
This compound with 36,361 square
feet of air-conditioned living
space includes eight bedrooms,
12 bathrooms and 14 half-baths.
This architectural masterpiece of epic proportions feels
warm, intimate and inviting despite its size.
