One of the salient features of the home was Skinner's "Man Cave", a separate two-story building that houses a custom hand-carved bar billiard room, sitting areas and a $300,000 private theatre that features surround sound and live motion seats complete with popcorn machine and decorations of a 1950's era luxury theatre. The custom residence also features a wine cellar room with bar and a heated pool and spa complete with custom rock waterfall, 4-car garage and other amenities.

The residential compound was originally listed for $2,275,000. Carlos Bravo, CEO of Karlhaus Realty at Spruce Creek represented the Buyer and negotiated the sale. "With the advent of internet technologies, today's high-end buyers are more sophisticated than ever , come well informed about values and benefits and deservedly demand professional expertise at levels never seen before in this business", Bravo said.

About the Spruce Creek Fly-In


The Spruce Creek Fly-in Community is the world's most famous residential airpark. With a 4,000 ft lighted runway and a GPS approach, the private airport at the center of the community (7FL6) can accommodate anything from a Stearman to a Gulfstream. Originally a navy airfield during WWII, it evolved into the world's largest residential fly-in community. Today, almost 5,000 residents, 1,300 homes and 700 hangars share a unique life in this private gated village. The first thing a visitor sees after driving through the security gates is a sign that summarizes the spirit of this community: “Caution children and adults at play”. It is often called a piece of pilot's heaven.

A championship golf course and Country Club and 24-hr patrolled security complements the safety, privacy and enjoyment of its residents. John Travolta and many other celebrities have enjoyed the Spruce Creek Fly-In lifestyle and privacy. Current home prices vary from a $140,000 condo to several million-dollar hangar mansions.
