A custom Mediterranean estate in the Braemar community of Gotha has sold for $1,520,000, closing $45,000 above the asking price after receiving multiple offers within the first two days on the market. The property, located at 9640 Lake Hugh Drive, was represented by Bent Danholm, broker and luxury real estate marketing specialist with MAXIM Realty Orlando.
GOTHA, Fla. – The 5,000-plus-square-foot residence, built in 2009, features five bedrooms, five bathrooms, a screened pool and outdoor kitchen, a private, gated entry, and a layout designed primarily for single-level living. Recent updates, including the installation of two new HVAC systems in 2025 and a whole-house generator, contributed to strong buyer interest. The transaction moved from contract to closing on an accelerated timeline.
“This sale reflects ongoing demand for high-quality homes in Gotha and throughout Central Florida’s luxury market,” Danholm said. “Properties that offer privacy, modern upgrades, and thoughtful presentation continue to capture attention quickly.”
The Braemar community is one of Gotha’s most established residential enclaves, known for its Mediterranean architecture, large homesites, and proximity to Windermere, Downtown Orlando, Winter Garden, and major medical facilities. The neighborhood consists of just 53 homes, situated among three lakes.
The property’s marketing campaign included professional photography and video, targeted digital outreach, and strategic local exposure, resulting in significant early activity and competitive offer terms.
