A British ex-pat couple have launched an online overseas holiday home competition to sell their $1.25m luxury Florida property. Colin and Sue Stafford’s brand new, fully-furnished ‘perfect holiday home’ in Orlando is set within 5-acres of landscaped gardens and features a luxurious rock pool, five bedrooms, including two master suites, plus a study/6th bedroom and panoramic views. The winner will be chauffeured from the airport as part of a compelling prize package which includes a new family car, family passes to Disneyworld and membership of a local health club and spa as well as 40 rounds of golf. Basking in temperatures of more than 30 degrees for six months a year, the home, just ten minutes away from several world-famous theme parks, is surrounded by the state’s finest golf courses and within a short drive of Florida’s white sandy beaches. More than one in 433 of the 45,000 entrants will receive cash prizes of up to £10,000 with the ultimate winner claiming the $1.25m property in the ‘Sunshine State’. The couple, originally from Manchester, have turned to the online competition as a way of beating the US property downturn. Tickets cost £25 and are available from perfectholidayhome.co.uk Colin said: “Sue and I fell in love with Florida as soon as we arrived and it’s been our home for a decade now. With such amazing weather all year round, the world-famous cities of Orlando and Tampa on the doorstep and an abundance of leisure facilities, it’s impossible not to. “£25 is an incredible price to pay for a million dollar home in the ‘Sunshine State’ and what better way to escape the cold winter nights of Blighty than to your own perfect holiday home?” “The lucky family really will be able to escape to another world – a dream home, perfect weather and the very best of American hospitality.”
