Welcome to a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own Hardeman’s Secret Gardens—an enchanting, fully operational wedding and event venue combined with a luxury estate and income-producing business. This turnkey property spans over 10 beautifully landscaped acres in Dover, Florida, just minutes from Tampa. The main estate boasts over 13,000 sq ft under roof, featuring high-end designer furnishings (all included), a private resort-style pool, fountain spa, commercial outdoor kitchen, butterfly garden, and a golf-course-quality putting green in the front yard. A separately accessed apartment within the main home is currently used for the event center but can also serve as a rental or guest suite. The property also includes a stunning event center, chapel, greenhouse, general store, acres of nursery land for self-sustainability, plus multiple themed gardens ideal for weddings and private events. Included in the sale is 3505 Gallagher Rd, a fully updated home just outside the main gated entrance, currently used as an office and perfect for a guest house or continued business use. Additional features include multiple storage buildings, golf carts for transporting guests, and even a vintage Rolls-Royce for elegant arrivals. The venue has bookings through 2026, and all existing contracts, client lists, and financials will be turned over to the new owner—no blue sky pricing, just a proven business with real income. Zoned agricultural with low taxes, this property combines luxury living, self-sufficiency, and an established, cash-flowing business. Truly a rare opportunity in the Florida market.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
