This 23,000-square-foot Naples estate represents one of the most comprehensively integrated smart home installations in Southwest Florida, with a $1.1 million system designed to simplify ownership of a large luxury residence while delivering exceptional comfort, security, and entertainment at every turn.
The residence operates on a fully integrated Control4 and Lutron HomeWorks ecosystem, consolidating dozens of independent technologies into a single, intuitive platform accessible from keypads throughout the home, touchscreens, and mobile devices. Every major home system is automated and coordinated to work together seamlessly.
Lighting and Shading
• Lutron HomeWorks controls all interior and exterior lighting, with automated scene setting that adapts throughout the day for daily living, entertaining, and evening use
• Floor-to-ceiling motorized roller shades are synchronized with lighting scenes, time-of-day schedules, and occupancy routines to optimize comfort, privacy, and natural daylight management
• A single button press transforms the entire home environment simultaneously across lighting, shading, and connected systems
Architectural and Environmental Automation
• 12-foot motorized sliding glass doors integrate with lighting, shading, security, and HVAC routines for coordinated indoor-outdoor living
• Fireplace, pool water features, fountain, and cold plunge are all controlled through the same unified platform
• HVAC is fully integrated and managed through automated schedules and occupancy-based routines
Entertainment
• Two custom LED video walls, including a 220-inch display capable of presenting four simultaneous video sources, serve as the centerpiece of the home’s entertainment experience
• A custom motorized television lift conceals a large-format display below floor level, deploying automatically as part of programmed entertainment scenes
• The private movie theatre and advanced golf and racing simulator room are fully integrated into the home automation platform, with lighting, shading, audio, and climate controlled as part of dedicated entertainment scenes
• Distributed Sonos audio delivers synchronized music across all indoor and outdoor zones
Security and Access
• Integrated security cameras accessible from any screen or mobile device throughout the property
• Dual 2N video intercom systems at both gated entrances provide seamless visitor communication and access management

The result is a residence where complexity disappears entirely, replaced by an ownership experience defined by intuition, intelligence, and effortless control
