WINTER PARK, Fla. – Two Florida astronauts have listed their home for sale in Winter Park, Florida, for $15.9 million following their recent spaceflight.
Astronauts Sharon and Marc Hagle put their Orlando-area home on the market after completing a space flight with Blue Origin’s New Shepard NS-20 in Van Horn, Texas.
Casa del Mondo, known as House of the World, is at 1220 North Park Avenue in the exclusive Twelve Oaks peninsula. The Mediterranean-style home is positioned on four acres boasting a spectacular view of Lake Maitland and the chain of lakes.
All proceeds from the sale of more than $12 million will be donated to the University of Central Florida, according to Premier Sotheby’s International Realty.
Built in 2003, the one-of-a-kind residence was originally designed with architectural features from around the world. A gated stone-paved driveway lined with lush palms, bamboo and multiple live oak trees welcomes guests into 16,608 square feet of luxury interior living.
Exceptional appointments and unique elements abound — from a dining room fireplace seen while visiting the Kremlin Palace in Russia to the award-winning media room featured on ABC’s Good Morning America.
The home’s birdcage elevator is a duplication of the one built by Otis Elevator Company and installed in 1896 at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina.
A chef’s kitchen is crafted with professional amenities that include a commercial Salamander oven. The guesthouse features a separate entrance from a gated service drive integrated into the residence.
An outdoor oasis is highlighted by a heated pool and spa with LED lighting showcasing four waterfalls; one is a two-story waterfall from the master bath, designed and installed by artisans from Disney.
A stone bridge over a tiered koi pond separates the house and air-conditioned open cabana which offers an outdoor kitchen, wood-burning pizza oven and a grill surrounded by hand-painted tiles by Cuban artist Fuster that the Hagles personally brought out of Havana.
A boathouse includes docking for a boat and two Jet Skis. The service driveway in the back of the home is equipped with additional motor court parking while the front includes a dedicated gated guest entrance and paver circular drive for ease of entertaining.
Sharon Hagle is the founder of SpaceKids Global, a not-for-profit whose mission to inspire and educate children about space through environmental education and STEAM activities.
Marc Hagle serves as the CEO of an international property company, Tricor International, one of the largest real estate developers in the country.
