Property Description
Under contract-accepting backup offers. Set on 7.25 extraordinary acres with direct frontage on Lake Erie, a private 140-acre ski lake with no public access, this remarkable estate offers an exceptional blend of seclusion, natural beauty and refined comfort. From the moment you arrive, the setting unfolds with a quiet elegance, where granddaddy oaks, native Florida landscaping and thoughtfully restored habitat create a sanctuary rich with wildlife, including deer, sandhill cranes, owls and a variety of birds. At water’s edge, your private dock extends gracefully over the lake, offering an idyllic place to begin the day with sunrise views filtering through cypress trees and to unwind in the evening as nature settles in around you. Whether paddling across calm waters, enjoying skiing or casting a line, the lake itself becomes an extension of daily living. The main residence, offering just under 2,400 square feet, is designed to celebrate its surroundings. The great room is captivating, defined by soaring 15-foot vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, and a dramatic wall of glass that frames the pool, grounds and lake beyond. Light fills the space while the home’s thoughtful positioning welcomes in gentle breezes, creating a naturally comfortable and inviting atmosphere. The kitchen is elegant and functional, appointed with granite countertops, extensive cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. It opens seamlessly to the main living area, allowing for effortless entertaining or quiet moments with a view. The bedrooms are notably spacious, providing comfort and flexibility for residents and guests. Outdoors, the screened pool area offers a private retreat surrounded by lush greenery, creating a peaceful setting for relaxation or gathering. The property continues to impress with a fenced dog run, a generous organic garden space and ample room without HOA restrictions on your boats, RVs or equipment. An oversized 24-by-24-foot two-car garage provides excellent storage and workspace. Meander in the well-designed paths through all-natural to Florida plants and shrubs that provide an idyllic refuge for birds, butterflies and other wildlife. A fully private in-law suite enhances the versatility of the estate, complete with its bedroom, bath and full kitchen. With additional space for living, working or creative pursuits, it serves beautifully as a guest residence, home office or independent living space. Constructed with an emphasis on efficiency and longevity, the home features a metal roof, insowalls, and Icynene spray-in insulation. Every element reflects a careful balance of sustainability and enduring quality. Ideally along Dr. Baker Road, the property adjoins the Lake County Pasture Reserve, offering over 800 acres of scenic trails for riding and hiking, and sits just minutes from the Van Fleet Trail. Despite its sense of privacy and retreat, the location provides convenient access to Orlando, Tampa and surrounding areas, with shopping, dining and daily essentials within easy reach. This is a property of rare character and quiet sophistication, where refined living and the beauty of nature exist in harmony.
