About This Home

As of June 2025

Live where lakefront serenity meets endless opportunity. Nestled beneath grand oaks with 85 feet of direct shoreline on the 76 acre spring-fed, skiable Lake Sears, this beautifully updated home is the ultimate Florida dream—no HOA, no rear neighbors, and no limits. Inside, you’ll find 2 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and a sun-soaked Florida Room with panoramic water views that will stop you in your tracks. Updates include a newer roof (2020), 200-amp electrical panel(2020), HVAC 2.5 ton (2022), Water Heater (2022) concrete countertops, stainless steel appliances, and continuous laminate/LVP flooring throughout and carpeting in the guest bedroom. Bonus: the oversized laundry room features a third full bath, perfect for lake life clean-up. Outside, the oversized .62-acre lot offers plenty of space to create your vision—whether that’s a dock, fire pit, garden, or expansion. The detached shed, carport, and extended driveway add even more flexibility. Whether you're an investor seeking STR potential, a retiree ready for the quiet life, or a first-time buyer looking for a unique escape, this home fits every lifestyle. Located minutes from downtown Winter Haven, LEGOLAND, and major routes—yet tucked far enough away to feel like a private retreat. Lake life is calling. Will you answer?
