AUCTION BIDDING OPEN: Bidding ends March 5th. Previously Listed $6.5M. Current High Bid $2M. Showings by appointment only. The Darby House is an extraordinary gated waterfront estate on nearly seven acres with over 1,600 feet of Wilson Lake shoreline. Located in a protected slough, this renovated mid-century modern masterpiece captures the essence of lakeside luxury living. Floor-to-ceiling windows throughout frame breathtaking water vistas, while rich mahogany woodwork and limestone create an atmosphere of timeless elegance. The chef's kitchen dazzles with custom cabinetry, Taj Mahal granite waterfall countertops, and a 60-inch Ilve eight-burner gas range. Outdoors, a shimmering saltwater pool with waterfall feature and hot tub anchor expansive stone patios, while an outdoor kitchen and fire pit set the stage for sunset entertaining. The half-court basketball and pickleball court and a heated guest house complete this lakefront sanctuary.
