CHARMING LAKEFRONT RETREAT offers a peaceful escape with breathtaking sunsets over spring-fed Lake Ellen on 1.3 acres. This fully FURNISHED 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is both spacious and welcoming, featuring vaulted ceilings, transom windows, and an abundance of natural light. The owner’s suite includes a king-sized bed and a large walk-in closet, providing a serene, comfortable space to unwind. The second bedroom, with its American hero theme, offers a triple bunk bed setup with a desk, while the third bedroom boasts a queen-sized bed and opens onto its own private screened patio overlooking the lake. The bonus/game room includes a POOL TABLE, arcade machine, and triple sliding glass doors that lead you outside to the solar HEATED POOL area provides even more space for outdoor lounging and dining. Start your day with coffee and wind down in the evenings with a drink on the lanai or in the Florida room, surrounded by wildlife—birds, turtles, otters, and fish right at your doorstep with over 150 feet of lake frontage. Enjoy playing board games, corn hole, and making smores around the FIRE PIT. The property’s three connected private lakes (Lake Helen, Lake Ellen & Lake Barbara) and canals are perfect for fishing, painting, photography, boating, and skiing, yet it's just a mile away from shopping, dining, and top-rated hospital, and quick access to everything. (Please note: This is the main home on the property. The cottage is separate rental. The cottage does not share any of the amenities and is not included.)
