Construction began on a house that was once considered an engineering marvel of it's time. With two concrete bridges spanning thirty feet each across a pond that used to house koi fish, leading you to an imposing stone fortress, it's hard not to fall in love and imagine you have teleported into a fantasy novel. Even the full history of the house is shrouded in mystery, since no source tells the sa

me story twice. The Wonderhouse was once a former Florida tourist attraction in the post depression era, and today hides behind a canopy of spanish moss and oak trees. A dime would grant you admission into the house, filled with oddities and curiosities that you still hear about from the folks that visited as children.

90 years and two bouts of abandonment later, we acquired the Wonderhouse in disrepair, rescuing it from an uncertain fate. This is our journey as we bring back the Wonderhouse back to life.

Rainbows over the Wonder House! We are currently working on some landscaping projects to clean up the yard (the best we can because everything grows 12 feet in a day during the Florida summer)! The last owner planted lots of invasive plant species so we are trying to get rid of them the best we can for a cleaner look.
