Property Description

This exceptional luxury estate on the highly sought-after shores of Lake Weir offers an unparalleled lakefront lifestyle with approximately 168 feet of pristine sand beach. Set on a beautifully landscaped 1.79-acre parcel, this expansive property features a thoughtfully designed split-plan main home with over 2,800 square feet of living space on the first floor, plus two separate upstairs areas offering incredible flexibility. A detached 1-bedroom, 1-bath guest cottage with full kitchen, living room, and storage underneath adds charm and versatility to this remarkable waterfront retreat. Inside the main residence, a long central hallway stretches from front to rear, creating a distinctive “dog run” layout and leading to a huge, enclosed back porch overlooking the shaded backyard and sparkling lake. The oversized living room, with soaring ceilings and beautiful hardwood flooring, flows seamlessly into a spacious kitchen offering abundant cabinetry, generous surface space, and a dedicated butler’s pantry/storage area. The luxurious downstairs primary suite includes a lower-level seating area and a glamour bath. A private bonus room above the suite, accessible via the master suite, features a Juliette balcony that overlooks the open living, dining, and kitchen areas below. Off the main living space, a full set of stairs leads to an upper landing with a large bedroom, closet, half bath, and lake views, as well as access to the mechanical room housing the home’s HVAC system and water heater. Two additional generously sized bedrooms on the main floor share a spacious Jack and Jill bathroom, while a half bath with shower is conveniently located next to the laundry room, which includes a sink, washer/dryer hookups, and pocket doors for optimal space efficiency. The outdoor living areas are equally impressive, with gorgeous shade trees, a large front yard, and a long gated driveway that leads to a paved circular drive. A second gated drive offers direct backyard access—perfect for boats and lake equipment. The expanded dock system features a covered boathouse with lift and a water slide, ideal for accessing and enjoying popular and gorgeous Lake Weir, from boating and water sports to breathtaking sunsets. Additional highlights include a detached two-car garage with two standard garage doors and a third oversized door that opens toward the lake, Hardiboard siding on all structures, underground electric, and a central vacuum system (condition unknown). With its bright, airy layout, versatile floor plan, and massive potential, this rare lakefront gem offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create one of Lake Weir’s most desirable estates. A few final cosmetic updates and personal touches will elevate this exceptional property to its full potential.
