Luxurious lakeside living beckons you to your own private retreat in the heart of Central Florida. This sprawling estate sits in a premium location on Lake Dora, part of the Harris Chain of Lakes, where you can enjoy the breathtaking views of both sunrises and sunsets. With four bedrooms, four and a half baths, a gourmet kitchen, and an impressive pool and patio area, this uniquely designed home emanates sophistication on Deer Island, a true natural 400-acre island. A circular driveway on a cul-de-sac welcomes you into your serene sanctuary, where expansive floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light and provide scenic views, inviting you to unwind. The primary suite serves as a haven of tranquility, featuring a gas fireplace, a wrap-around stone pond with a fountain, and a screened-in sitting area where the soothing sounds of flowing water and birdsong enhance your spa experience. This suite also boasts a wet bar, two separate walk-in closets, a jetted tub, a walk-in shower, and captivating chandeliers. Artfully designed dining and living areas embrace panoramic views, perfect for gatherings with family and friends. The chef’s dream kitchen boasts modern conveniences such as granite countertops, an oversized island, custom cabinetry for ample storage, a large walk-in pantry, and stainless steel appliances. It seamlessly extends into both a wet bar area and a magnificent covered porch, offering picturesque views of Lake Dora. Your everyday escape into paradise awaits with a heated resort-style pool, a separate in-ground hot tub, a propane-fueled fire feature, a brick barbecue grill, lush tropical foliage, a spectacular summer kitchen, and spacious lounging and seating areas. Upstairs, discover three thoughtfully designed bedrooms which share a balcony overlooking Lake Dora, two full bathrooms, and additional storage space. Additional features include a generously illuminated and fan-ventilated three-car garage, whole-house water filtration and softeners systems, cost-saving solar panels, and a private boat dock with two electric boat lifts, providing access to Lake Dora and beyond. Adventures in downtown Mount Dora or Tavares are just a short boat ride away. Waterfront dining and boutique shopping are available in both Tavares, America’s Seaplane City, and historic Mount Dora. From your private oasis, you are poised to enjoy all of this as often as desired. The exclusive gated community of Deer Island is a natural 400-acre island surrounded by Lake Dora and Lake Beauclair. It features an awe-inspiring, privately-owned 18-hole championship golf course, recently named one of America’s Top 50 Public Golf Courses. It also ranks as #5 in Top 25 Florida Courses! Only an estimated 45 minutes away from Orlando, Deer Island offers the active yet relaxing lifestyle you’ve been looking for in Central Florida.
