Description

This is not just a home, it's an experience. Set on 5 private, gated lakefront acres, this one-of-a-kind retreat offers a rare opportunity to truly escape the stress and chaos of everyday life and step into a setting that feels peaceful, inspiring, & completely connected to nature. It's the kind of place where you instantly exhale... yet you're just minutes from Mount Dora's dining, shops, and year-round festivals. Home to your getaway... or your everyday!! Designed with striking mid-century modern influence, the home is filled with warmth, character, and natural light. Vaulted ceilings with rich wood detail, hardwood floors, clerestory windows, & expansive glass create a bright, open atmosphere that blurs the line between indoors & out. Every space feels intentional, inviting, and unlike anything you'll find in a typical home. The large, updated kitchen is both beautiful & functional, featuring high-end appliances, generous workspace, & a bright eat-in area overlooking the natural landscape. A split-bedroom floor plan adds privacy, with the convenience of an indoor laundry room. The primary suite is its own retreat, complete with a glass slider to the outdoor living area, a beautifully remodeled bath, & a generous walk-in closet. Step outside and the property truly comes to life. A hidden concrete pathway winds through the trees, leading you to a secluded screened room overlooking the lake, an unforgettable feature that feels like your own private sanctuary. The pool & deck are perfectly positioned to capture wide, tranquil water views, where the sounds of nature and shifting light create a setting that feels more like a getaway than a residence. The lake itself becomes part of your everyday lifestyle-perfect for canoeing at sunrise, jet skiing across open water, or fishing right from your own property, all while enjoying lakefront living that is not located in a flood zone. You'll also appreciate the added peace of mind of a 2024 roof. It's a setting that invites you to slow down, explore, and enjoy the outdoors. Beyond the main home, the property unfolds into a rare private compound with incredible flexibility. In total, there are five finished buildings, all with air conditioning, ideal for guest space, offices, fitness, studios, or creative use along with two additional storage buildings. A detached garage and large covered carport provide ample space for vehicles, equipment, or hobbies. A full outdoor bath enhances the indoor-outdoor lifestyle. This is a property for someone who wants something different, something special. Private, peaceful, and full of personality, it offers a lifestyle that is hard to find and impossible to replicate.
