About This Home

As of November 2025

Welcome to lake life at Cherry Lake in Madison, Florida! This beautifully crafted custom cottage sits on a fully fenced .79-acre lot shaded by majestic old oaks and designed for comfort, character, and relaxation. Inside, you’ll find an open-concept main living space filled with natural light and sweeping views of Cherry Lake from the living room and sunroom. The home is meticulously maintained, with solid wood trim, pine crown molding, custom cabinetry, and solid wood doors flowing seamlessly throughout. Beautiful LVP flooring runs through the entire home, while the spacious bedrooms offer plenty of room for family and guests. The sunroom at the front of the house extends your living space, perfect for morning coffee or evening sunsets over the water. Step outside and enjoy the perks of a fully fenced yard—ideal for boat parking, gardening, kids, and pets to safely play. An additional storage building and carport provide convenience and functionality. Cherry Lake itself is a 575-acre recreational haven, offering year-round fun from fishing and boating to water sports and summer gatherings. With public access close by, this home gives you the best of both worlds: quiet privacy at home and all the adventure the lake has to offer just steps away. Whether you’re searching for your forever home, a weekend getaway, or an income-producing property (Airbnb/VRBO potential), this cottage delivers. Pack your sunscreen, load the cooler, and start enjoying the sunsets and serenity of Cherry Lake living!
