Preserving the Past, Embracing the Future

Lakeview Gardens (formerly The Mulberry Estate) has a rich history dating back to 1946, when it was first envisioned as a serene retreat for those seeking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. 

Originally designed by renowned architect Earl W. Ohlinger, an apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright, Lakeview Gardens boasts architectural elements that echo the legacy of its esteemed creator. From the French doors that bathe our interiors in natural light to the structural innovations that define our space, every corner of Lakeview Gardens tells a story of old Florida history.

Our commitment to excellence goes beyond aesthetics. As stewards of this property, we are dedicated to preserving its natural beauty for generations to come. Our adjacent timber farm serves as a testament to our commitment to sustainability, ensuring that Lakeview Gardens is not only a place for celebration, but also a step towards a greener future.
