Fall is creeping up on us, and that means only one thing: it's time to flee to Florida for the winter. But rather than renting an apartment, you can buy a luxurious mansion on the Atlantic Coast in Jupiter Island, FL. For a mere $15 million, Turtle Hall, the five bedroom, Georgian-style, palatial abode designed by Lindley Hoffman, can be all yours from Christie's International Real Estate. A word of warning: it may be hard to convince yourself to fly back north when the winter ends.

A house of this magnitude naturally needs a grand walkway to help impress all approaching visitors.

Tough choice: do you take a dip in the refreshing pool or swim with the fish in the ocean just steps away?

The home is full of Old World charm, making you constantly question whether you're on the Florida coast, or have traveled back in time to 1800's Europe.

Please don't track sand into the elegant marble foyer!

The house is situated atop a dune to take maximum advantage of the gorgeous ocean views. Palm trees and sunsets, anyone?

The inside living areas are all about European glamour while the outdoor areas are all about relaxation and soaking up the sun.

Shade yourself from the sun but still take advantage of the oceanfront breezes? Yes, please!

The beautiful dining room is great for entertaining...and isn't far from the 500-bottle wine cellar.

Tucked away around the house is a plethora of outdoor seating areas. Who wants to hide away inside when the weather's so nice?

These stately accomodations are fit for a queen. In addition to the main house, the upstairs north wing contains private guest quarters, including a kitchen and a living room.

We'll take a room with a beach view, please!

Now this is a view that would never get old.

The house painted in yellow is striking against the green foliage of the coast and the blue sky above.
The perfect end to every day.
