Enjoy morning coffee and evening drinks and snacks from your dock, lanais, and Florida room in a setting of birds, turtles, otters, fish, and other wildlife on more than 150 feet of lake frontage on 1.3 “country in the city’ acres on deep spring-fed Lake Velma. Three connected private lakes and canals are perfect for fishing, painting, photography, boating, and skiing a mile from everything – shopping, dining, and hospital, in the top-ranked Steinbrenner school district and fast connections everywhere.

A 2,000 sq/ft home and 1000 sq/ft cottage have high ceilings, e-windows, ceiling fans throughout, see-through hurricane shutters, abundant closets, laundry rooms, smart home features, and solar panels. Add batteries to charge cars and for emergencies. 66’ el. means no flooding.

The 1/1 cottage for entertaining, office, or multi-generational living needs has a kitchen, large living area, and lanai overlooking the lake. Its private entrance benefits visitors or income-generating rental space.

The 3/2 home living room has a vaulted ceiling, natural light, and a 14’ fireplace. One bedroom opens onto a screened patio overlooking the lake. Add a master bathroom exactly as you want it if desired.

The front yard’s expansive easy-care Florida woodlands setting has long bearded oaks, pines, fruit trees, and more. In the back are bananas, jackfruit, lychee, and a hedge of ginger, and the solar-heated and screened pool area provides more space for your outdoor dining and lounging.
