This home hides an amazing secret - it has a lazy river running all the way through it.
The three buildings at the impressive house are connected by a 90-foot stream.
It means the owners can swim from the living room to the dining room and then float to the bedroom come nighttime.

Usually beer lol...but even most wine snobs will agree that either a red or white is appropriate with alligator.
I don’t think I would like the idea of someone floating into my bedroom.
That isn’t a swimming pool. That’s my bath tub.
Since they are swamp critters, probably something green like creme de menthe.
Cute ...
SPECTACULAR link!

Beautiful design, but having been around a few homes with indoor pools, hot tubs, water features and such, as well as this one being in very humid Florida, I’d imagine controlling humidity is a severe challenge to the point that the windows sweat constantly and mold or mildew can take hold if it’s not constantly cleaned with something to kill or at least inhibit the growth of it. A lot of work in other words, and a maintenance headache.
Watermelon wine is best.
We truly live in an an age where architects can create magic. I’ve long had the idea that basements ought to have a movable floor that covers a sub-basement swimming pool, although RegulatorCountry in post 34 is quite right in his comment about the problem of indoor humidity. A friend had a small indoor pool and the environment was positively tropical most of the year. This was in Cleveland Ohio, not Florida.
In the case of the flying palaces, all the interior shots show seating with no signs of seat belts. Would you really want to eat at a dinner table loaded with silverware, china and a vase full of flowers while in flight ? Sooner of later you’re going to run into turbulence and then you’ll be wearing the tossed salad.
Yep! Although it might be trying to get away from a 20-ft Burmese python trying to swallow it.
There are a lot more pythons than gators anymore in FL.
