SPECTACULAR RIVERFRONT PRIVATE RESORT LIVING
Welcome to an extraordinary estate where history, architectural artistry, and breathtaking natural beauty converge. Perched atop a rare natural dune with sweeping, pristine views of the Tomoka Basin, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the river beyond, this one-of-a-kind residence offers an unrivaled blend of privacy, prestige, and Old Florida charm. This remarkable property traces its roots to the historic Santa Lucia Plantation and was originally selected for its idyllic setting by John Anderson himself. The estate's architect fittingly christened the residence ''The Mona Lisa,'' recognizing it as a true masterpiece of design and craftsmanship. The vision was brought to life by a world-renowned sea captain whose passion for durability and beauty inspired a fortress-like construction rarely seen in residential architecture. Built with millions of dollars' worth of reinforced concrete construction creating a GRAND Estate!!! Spanning multiple parcels, the property offers extraordinary space and flexibility, including a buildable 200' x 60' Intracoastal waterfront lot and the primary homesite measuring 340' x 199', all positioned to capture breathtaking water views and spectacular sunsets. Whether enjoying peaceful mornings overlooking the Tomoka Basin or embarking on boating adventures from your private dock, life here feels like a permanent vacation.
The Main Residence
The impressive three-story main home features expansive living spaces designed for both grand entertaining and comfortable everyday living.
Highlights include:
" A dramatic two-story primary suite with dual spa-inspired bathrooms
" Three additional bedrooms with en-suite baths
" Five additional flexible spaces ideal for offices, lounges, guest quarters, or creative studios

Guest House & Additional Structures
The charming two-story cottage offers exceptional versatility and privacy. It features a bedroom or living area downstairs, two bathrooms, a kitchenette, and a spacious bonus room with remarkable acoustics--perfect for a music studio, art space, or additional apartment.
The property also includes a 50' x 20' RV garage that could easily be converted into additional living quarters or a luxury hobby space. With its own private patio and generous grounds, the guest house is ideal for extended family, in-laws, or vacation rental potential. There is even ample room to add a pickleball or tennis court.
A third structure provides another oversized garage with 12-foot ceilings, workshop space, and room for two vehicles--or the opportunity to install auto lifts for a collector's dream garage.

A Rare Opportunity
Properties of this caliber rarely come to market. Combining historic significance, architectural distinction, expansive acreage, and unparalleled waterfront views, "The Mona Lisa" offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a true piece of Ormond Beach history while creating an extraordinary lifestyle.
In 1903, the smooth, hard-packed sands of Ormond Beach became a proving ground for automobile inventors and drivers. These first speed tournaments in the US earned Ormond the title "Birthplace of Speed."
Ormond Beach's rich and diverse history reaches back several centuries. The area was populated by Native Americans and developed by sugar cane planters, ship builders, hoteliers and railroad magnates. It was the vacation home of millionaires and automobile manufacturers in the early 20th century. With the building of the rail line to Ormond in 1886 and the first bridge over the Halifax River in 1887, tourism and residential activities began to flourish. John Anderson and Joseph Price, builders of that first bridge, fulfilled their dream to build a hotel on the beachside. In 1888, the Hotel Ormond opened with 75 rooms. In 1890, railroad magnate Henry Flagler bought the hotel, expanded it, and in 1904 added a railroad bridge across the river to bring guests to the hotel. Anderson and Price continued to manage the hotel during the Flagler era until their deaths in 1911. John D. Rockefeller spent several winters in the hotel until he purchased the Casements across the street in 1918. Rockefeller spent his winters at the Casements until his death in 1937 at age 97. The hotel was demolished in 1992. Known as the "Birthplace of Speed," Ormond Beach is the site of the first timed automobile race on its hard-packed sandy beach in 1903.
Ormond Scenic Loop & Trail (OSLT) is a 30+ mile double loop of roadways traversing some of the most beautiful and diverse natural scenery remaining in all of northeast Florida. There is ready access to the Atlantic Ocean, North Peninsula, Tomoka and Bulow Creek State Parks as well as numerous city and county parks. The roadway view includes unobstructed vistas of two rivers, creeks and marshes, barrier island dunes and beach, and historic dwellings. Visitors seeking a cultural and/or historic experience will find museums and historic public buildings and private homes along the corridor, in Tomoka State Park and in locations a few blocks off the designated roadways. Recreational opportunities abound with numerous parks and trails offering boating, fishing, hiking, swimming, bicycling, beach walking and much more. Vast expanses of water and natural Florida scrub vegetation create beautiful scenic vistas waiting to be photographed. Northern right whales and humpback whales can be seen offshore during migration seasons. Dolphins are a common sight. Loggerhead, green and leatherback turtles use the sandy beaches along A1A for nesting.
