16268 GATOR HOLE RD Odessa, FL 33556

Welcome to your slice of Tampa Bay lakefront paradise. This modern-industrial home was custom built to withstand the test of time. Located in one of the few places that provides a peaceful retreat away from the busyness of a city and yet only a short drive to all that greater Tampa has to offer.


This home is truly unique. It features 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an oversized 4-car garage. The sun-soaked living area is situated on the second floor and features soaring tall ceilings with sliding glass doors across the entire west-facing wall maximizing your ability to enjoy the calm lake and spectacular sunset views. The kitchen features stainless appliances, custom-poured extra thickness concrete counters, and a small wine fridge. The kitchen’s custom pendant lights were salvaged and refurbished from a 100 year old Florida ship. The artisan hand built floating shelves and fireplace mantle were made from cypress wood beams that were refurbished from the previous home to honor its rich history which was over 100 years old. Another one-of-a-kind feature that has its own historically significant story. The sizable outdoor deck spans the entire length of the home proving a perfect place to entertain or simply enjoy a cup of coffee or happy hour watching the sun sink behind one of the few lakes in Tampa that is large enough for water sports.

This home was meticulously over-engineered in every way possible from the foundation to the roof. There are 6-foot footers at the foundation. The concrete slab is 50% thicker than necessary allowing for a car lift to operate with no concerns. Every piece of glass in the home is double-impact hurricane rated. There are 4 to 6 inches of spray-foam insulation throughout the entire home. The entire home was built with metal framing. The electrical system is run with Metal-Clad wiring throughout which is typical for commercial buildings, but not residential.
The metal roof was attached with screws, not nails. The exterior of the home is powder-coated steel.
The bathrooms feature slate and porcelain tiles and poured concrete countertops. The primary bedroom features a large walk-in closet. The washer and dryer are in the primary bathroom closet and convey with the purchase. There is sizable attic space with plenty of room for storage.

The garage features 4 bays with hurricane rated double-impact glass-paneled doors on each side of the home (8 garage doors total). There is 22ft of depth in the garage allowing room for a small trailer or boat. The garage has a mini-split A/C system.

There is no HOA in this community. You will never have neighbors in front or behind you in this home. The home is on well water and the filtering system conveys with the home. The utility bills will be extremely low. This magnificent home is available immediately!
