This Mediterranean-style luxury home has 34,000 square feet of space on more than 3.6 acres of land surrounded by a tropical lagoon. Among the neighbors are the homes of professional athletes in baseball, basketball, boxing, football, Formula One racecar, golf, and World karate.

There are a few interesting facts about Weston, Florida. Weston only recently became a city in 1996, but the area was inhabited by Native Americans several hundred years ago. "There is an 800 year old Tequesta Indian burial mound located in Weston," said Wright.

Today Weston is 25.5 square miles with 2,000 acres of interconnected, man-made waterways. 90 percent of the residents live in communities governed by city-like homeowner associations created by the original developer. Between the power of these associations and the city, Weston will continue to have a neat, manicured, lush look for years to come. City officials have not only been caretakers of the abundant landscaping along the public streets, but have been adding to it each and every year. This adds to the city's unique appearance.

"When you drive through the city of Weston, you will notice that everything is located exactly where it should be," said Wright. "The entire city has the landscaping and design of a 5-star vacation resort."

This luxury home is a few minutes away from major highways like I-75, 595, and the Sawgrass Expressway. The Cleveland Clinic Hospital is 3.8 miles away from this luxury home. The Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport is 20 miles away and Miami International Airport is 38 miles away.

A new chapter of living the South Florida mansion lifestyle is about to begin for only one lucky prospective buyer.
