A newly built house in Naples that appears to float on a lake has been listed for sale for $9.975 million.

The 10,300-square-foot house is engineered to cantilever over its own private lake. More than 280 pilings under the house support its structure.

The developers are James W. Bates, a sales associate of Naples-based Premier Sotheby’s International Realty, and Lime International Developments.

Gerald Yurk of Architecture Artistica designed the contemporary house at 2211 South Winds Drive in Naples. Lime International Décor furnished it.
