Welcome to one of the most extraordinary private estates Central Florida has to offer. A secluded 16.12-acre lakefront sanctuary tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on Lake Walk-in-Water. From the moment you pass through the gated brick entrance and begin down the winding driveway, the estate unfolds like a world of its own…open land, majestic oaks, shimmering water, and complete privacy in every direction. This is not just a property; it is a true Florida oasis. Expansive aerial views reveal the full scope of this natural paradise: wide-open green spaces, trails that weave beneath towering oaks, pockets of tropical landscape, and a serene one-acre koi pond that reflects the sky like glass. Florida palms, bamboo clusters, bromeliads, and mature shade trees create a lush, park-like environment alive with wildlife. Owls, cranes, otters, turkeys, and yes, the occasional gator gliding across the lake. The entire estate is fully fenced with 6’ black chain-link fencing, offering unmatched security without disturbing the natural beauty. Follow the driveway toward the lake and you’ll find some of the propertys most impressive features. A metal seawall installed in 2018 runs the entire lakeside boundary. A covered dock with a motorized boat lift stretches out over the calm water, and a private boat launch gives you instant access to the 7,500-acre lake making it effortless to enjoy the water. The 4,255 sq ft residence sits perfectly at the back of the property, tucked among trees and positioned to enjoy stunning views of the lake and manicured grounds. The home has been thoughtfully remodeled to blend comfort with old Florida character. Some of the recent upgrades include new carpet and tile throughout, fresh interior and exterior paint, new lighting and fixtures, updated bathrooms throughout, and two new HVAC units. With multiple living spaces, two large primary suites, a formal dining room, and flexible rooms for media, office, or guests, the home is designed for both everyday living and hosting. Multiple outdoor patios create a seamless connection between indoor living and the surrounding land. Whether you’re watching the sunrise over the lake while enjoying morning coffee or watching the golden light hit the oaks at sunset, every angle offers a picturesque view. This estate is as functional as it is beautiful. A detached 3-car garage and a large barn with two garage bays provide ample storage and workspace. The pump house with a brand-new irrigation motor, and a seven-zone irrigation system fed by a private 4” well keep the entire property green year-round. Unlike most large lakefront acreage, this property is already subdivided into 18 individual platted lots, including two lakefront lots which offers an extremely rare development opportunity. Whether you choose to keep the land as a private retreat, build a multi-home family compound, or hold the lots for future value, this flexibility is a tremendous asset. This is a Once-in-a-Generation Florida Estate. Between the acreage, the privacy, the waterfront, the large home and outbuildings, the lush landscaping, the wildlife, and the future development potential… there is simply nothing else like this in the region. If you’ve been looking for a property that feels like a protected sanctuary while still being minutes from modern conveniences, this is the one. The photos tell the story beautifully, but walking the land brings the full beauty and scale of this estate to life.
