About the Property
This luxurious Mediterranean residence is ideal for those seeking a peaceful, private retreat. The property boasts one of the best locations within the prestigious Glen Kernan Golf & Country Club, for two important reasons: First, it is located on a non-through street and only two lots away from the cul-de-sac, keeping traffic and passersby to a bare minimum. Second, the property’s oversized lot enjoys direct lake frontage, significantly separating it from any golf course traffic (this is an important contrast to many homes in the area which suffer from much smaller backyards that are immediately bordered by golf cart paths).
With over 5,400 interior square feet of living space, 5 bedrooms, 6 full and one-half baths, the estate provides ample room for a large family or for those who enjoy hosting friends. Its unique design includes 2 pools, one located in the backyard and another tucked within the property’s interior courtyard (ideal for keeping a closer eye on younger children as they swim, or for more “adult” swims away from the neighbors’ view!).
The stately entrance to the residence is augmented by soaring, 2-story ceilings in the foyer and living room. There is also an open, lofted living space that overlooks the main living room. Together, these two living spaces provide an excellent venue for large parties or at-home entertaining without disturbing the bedroom areas.
Additional features of the estate include a beautifully appointed movie theater, wine “cellar,” wood-paneled executive study/guest quarters, gourmet kitchen, multiple fireplaces, built-in audio system throughout, poolside cabana with full bath and a 4-car garage.

About The Location: Glen Kernan Golf & Country Club
Glen Kernan Golf and Country Club is a special community in Jacksonville, Florida that was developed with The Select Few in mind. It is considered to be the premier country club community in the area, known for its privacy and exclusivity.
Upon passing through the private guard gates, visitors to Glen Kernan will take note of the impeccable grounds and landscaping. From the homeowners’ front lawns to the golf course fairways, the pride of ownership and membership within the community is quite evident.
To compliment the stately mansions and the pristine golf course grounds, 60 of Glen Kernan’s 600 acres are dedicated to natural preserves and lakes (nature lovers will appreciate the opportunity to observe the preserves’ beautiful wildlife, such as families of grazing deer).
In addition to its flagship golf course and clubhouse (detailed below) the community’s amenities include a sports complex with 8 clay tennis courts and an on-site tennis pro, 5,000 sq. ft. fitness center, Junior Olympic-sized swimming pool and a covered pavilion with cooking and picnic areas.
The Glen Kernan Golf Course
Glen Kernan’s spectacular golf course was designed by architect Robert C. Walker under the close supervision of George Hodges, Jr., the founder of the development. While the typical 18-hole course occupies 150-180 acres, Glen Kernan’s occupies 260 acres, creating a course that is rich with expansive views and beautiful, natural landscapes.
The course’s extremely exclusive membership and strict Member’s Only policy (even visiting PGA pros must be accompanied by a club member to use the course!) ensures that the grounds remain beautifully manicured and in excellent playing condition all year long. And if that is not enough to entice the avid golfer, the course does not require any tee times, a feature that is equally rare and exceptional for an elite golfing facility.
Golfers begin and end their rounds of play at Glen Kernan’s lovely Clubhouse. Its style can be described as “Old World,” with a rich architectural design reminiscent of what one might expect to find at a storied New England course. Like Glen Kernan itself, the Clubhouse is intimate, exclusive and impeccably maintained, with a dedicated staff that warmly greets each member by name. The Clubhouse features a pro shop, grill room and bar, lounge, formal dining room, locker rooms and event facilities.
