About This Home

As of October 2025

One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Stunning Windermere Lakefront Retreat on the Butler Chain. Experience the epitome of lakefront living in this beautifully remodeled home, nestled on over half an acre with breathtaking views of Lake Butler and Bird Island. Whether you're boating, fishing, or simply relaxing by the pool, this retreat offers the perfect combination of luxury and recreation. The property boasts an exclusive two-story party dock, newly outfitted with Trex decking, two boat slips, two jet ski slips, upgraded boat lifts, chargers, and a charming porch swing—ideal for enjoying sunrises or watching shuttle launches over the lake. Inside, every detail has been meticulously updated, including a first-floor primary suite, new metal roof, Pella Impervia windows & sliding doors (with security film inside and out), Icynene foam insulation for exceptional energy efficiency, two new Dell Aire HVAC systems, a 22KW whole-home generator, solar-heated pool, and brand-new cabinetry, granite countertops, and new enginered hardwood flooring throughout. The garage is currently configured as a gym but can easily be converted back to its original purpose. With no HOA and a prime Windermere location, this home is just minutes from Sand Lake’s renowned Restaurant Row, Disney, Universal Studios, International Drive, and major expressways. The Butler Chain of Lakes, spanning over 5,000 acres and connecting 13 lakes via scenic canals, is celebrated for its world-class boating, watersports, and championship bass fishing. Situated in an A-rated K-12 school district with top private schools nearby, this property represents a rare opportunity to own one of Central Florida’s most coveted lakefront homes. Additionally, the vacant lot next door is also available for a total of 1.24 acres, offering a great opportunity to build a multi-generational estate or family compound. Opportunities like this are rare—schedule your private showing today!
