James Hilton created the mystical place called "Shangri-La" in his novel Lost Horizon. That term has become synonymous with paradise; a totally remote utopia isolated form the rest of the world.
Yesterday, Laurie McChesney of Preferred Properties sold Shangri La in the Florida Keys for $3,250,000. CLICK HERE to see the property Laurie described this way:
"Shangri La in the Florida Keys! This secluded Sugarloaf Beach estate sits on five lush acres & offers a private, stunningly beautiful white sand beach. (460' of ocean/beach frontage)The main house combines island style and interior comforts with the natural beauty of the outdoors. The master bedroom & one guest room open to wrap around decks and offer panoramic vistas of the ocean, palm trees and the beach. Soaring ceilings with a dramatic artistic sculpture anchors the living area. This estate offers a relaxing yet elegant island lifestyle. Ancillary buildings include the guest room/office, a double garage and an equipment pavilion all connected by wooden covered walkways. One of a kind!"
