Florida’s Most Historic Home

Home of Florida’s First Snowbird

Forgotten for over 100 Years, until now!

Tripadvisor has named the Stetson Mansion the #1 rated Landmark Tourist Attraction in all of Florida. Florida's First Luxury Estate, built in 1886 for famed hat maker John B. Stetson, is the largest, grandest, and most historic home ever built in Florida before the 20th century. It was the first home in Florida designed and constructed with Edison electricity, steam heat, indoor plumbing and a call bell system. Opulent details include 16 different mosaic parquet wood floor patterns, 10,000 panes of antique glass and various hand made wood embellishments.

This Gilded Age estate has always been occupied and is still a private estate. It is not a museum or a home frozen in time, although it predates all other grand mansion museums in Florida. The home of Florida’s first snowbird and famous hat baron has always been occupied, but it was was hidden and forgotten as a great estate for 100 years. It has recently been rescued, restored and updated in a timeless fashion. Christmas Tours will be offered Nov 1, 2024 to Jan 18, 2025. The Mansion is closed between Jan 21th and Oct 31st in 2024.
