About this home
Build the Ultimate Garage Compound on Tampa Bay’s Premier Spring-Fed Ski Lake.
Set on a 1.81± acre lot directly on Lake Thonotosassa — Tampa’s largest and most coveted spring-fed ski lake (880 acres) — this custom 2007 residence (5 bedrooms, 3 full baths + 1 half bath, approx. 3,310 sq ft, with attached AC’d 3-car side-entry garage) is designed to celebrate the water. Expansive lake-facing living areas, soaring ceilings, and walls of natural light frame daily sunsets and create an effortless indoor/outdoor flow. The main-level primary suite offers lake views, a tray ceiling, and a relaxing sitting area, while the oversized upstairs bonus room serves perfectly as a 5th bedroom, retreat, game room or guest hideaway.
The Garage-Mahal: A rare opportunity — a MASSIVE detached, partially-constructed multi-bay garage/workshop facility (approx. 10,000± sq/ft under roof, 6100sq/ft footprint) over-engineered and over-built serving as a fortress with engineered masonry walls, roof structure, and a fully framed 2nd-story level in place, staircase to be built. Designed with reinforced concrete block (every cell poured), .040 mechanically double-lock aluminum roofing, oversized engineered trusses (no 2x4 webs), deep stem walls, and geotechnical evaluation performed prior to build (per owner). Garage doors and concrete slab remain unfinished — allowing the next owner to finish this structure to their specifications. Potential for motorsports workshop, car museum, RV storage, wood shop, gym, office loft, man cave lounge, or private hobby wing — the scale is exceptional and photos struggle to do justice. For your daily driver’s the home features an oversized 3 car garage with its own separate AC unit as well as 12+ foot ceilings, tall enough for a 4 post lift.
The main home’s open kitchen layout remains intact, with upper and lower cabinetry and several premium built-in appliances still present (double ovens, microwave, dishwasher). Buyers may choose to restore original finishes or take advantage of the chance to re-imagine their own luxury kitchen design. Whole home wired stereo system as well as a central vacuum system for the owner’s convenience.
The outdoor living continues with a covered lanai featuring ceiling fans and a gas fireplace fueled by the on-site propane tank, followed by a large screened paver patio extension — creating exceptional indoor/outdoor living overlooking Lake Thonotosassa.
The home experienced approx. 3 inches of water intrusion from Hurricane Milton. The sellers immediately remediated (drywall removal, drying / mitigation / removal where needed). SELLING AS-IS. The travertine tile flooring remains, areas previously finished with wood were removed as part of mitigation. Note: existing dock is not in working condition.
This offering is one of the rare opportunities in the Tampa Bay region to acquire land, lake lifestyle, privacy, a custom home, and a permitted collector-scale garage structure all in one package. The scale, engineering, and potential already in place is unmatched at this price point. Bring your vision, your creativity, your cars, and your boats — there simply isn’t another property like this on Lake Thonotosassa. Schedule your showing today!
