Nestled beneath a canopy of grand oaks, this gated estate is set on the shores of Lake Bryant—one of Central Florida’s largest recreational lakes—offering unmatched natural beauty and privacy. With over 5,500 sq ft in the main home, a detached two-story guest apartment, multiple garages and barns, a 3-bay metal building, and a private dock with beach access, this property offers space, functionality, and lifestyle in one stunning package. The country-style main home features warm, rustic finishes and spacious living throughout.

Also on the first floor is a private office with French doors and built-ins, a large laundry room with a Murphy bed, utility sink, and extra storage, plus a separate storage room. Wood-look tile flows throughout. The kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, granite counters, a ceramic farmhouse sink, gas cooktop, double ovens, a blue-accent island, and a large walk-in pantry. The dining area overlooks the backyard and lake through oversized windows. Upstairs, two large bedrooms each include private bathrooms, with one offering a game room. A central loft overlooks the open-concept living room below, designed for comfortable everyday living or entertaining guests. Outside, a covered cabana includes a granite summer kitchen with gas grill, TV, dining area, hot tub, and wood-burning fireplace.

A lean-to with a concrete floor offers added space, including a wash rack and enclosed, air-conditioned garage. Additional features include two large pastures, matching chicken coop, 2-stall wooden barn, 2-stall loafing shed, round pen, and several fenced paddocks. For storage and workshop needs, the property includes a massive 4-car metal garage with full-length carport, a detached 2-car garage with carport, a separate equipment building, and a 3-bay metal building providing additional covered parking or storage for trailers and implements.
