The 11.9-acre Orlando mansion built by billionaire Harold Mertz, founder of Publishers Clearing House, is going to no-reserve auction on August 6th. A gated tropical estate with rolling lawns, koi ponds, a private five-acre pond with fountain and lush semi-tropical landscaping, the property has played host to two presidents, senators, governors and corporate luminaries since it was built in 1979. In addition to the stocked, spring-fed pond are a swimming pool, spa and tennis courts with a 2,900-square-foot, two-bedroom, three-bath guest house/pool house, two complete outdoor kitchens and a separate 1,000-square-foot caretaker’s cottage. At the time it was built, the use of steel and concrete was the cutting edge of technology.
