Skirting the Everglades, this Homestead house has the beautiful greenery of Florida on one side and the blue of Biscayne Bay on the other. Wedged between all that natural wonder – and with plenty to offer – how could you possibly go wrong? Wake yourself up with a dip in the limestone pool every morning and once you’re feeling refreshed, you can put the coffee maker on to brew, luring everyone out of bed with the sweet aroma. The house combines modern elements with more antiquated features to create a really homely atmosphere. You’ll notice it when you sit down for breakfast around the dining table, or when you’re gathering in one of the living spaces to enjoy some of the board games on offer here. Enjoy Clue with a glass of wine or get the cocoa out for a game of battleship. Outside, you can walk the lush green garden, spend sunshine days in around the pool and stargaze as you unwind in the hot tub. When you’re not home, you might find yourself sampling the wares of the wineries a short drive away, hiking in the Everglades National Park, or golfing at Palmetto Golf Course.
